Based on an initial survey conducted by researchers in March 2023 by interviewing 15 respondents of women of childbearing age (WUS) showed that there were differences of opinion among respondents regarding their willingness to do the examination. Three respondents expressed interest in taking the VIA examination, while the other five expressed their disinterest because they did not get encouragement or orders from their husbands. The purpose of the study was to determine the factors associated with the interest of wus in the examination of the iva test at the health center. The research design used in this study was cross sectional. The research was conducted in the work area of the Sipori-Pori Inpatient Health Center. The research was conducted in July 2023.
