Abstract
The prevalence of cervical cancer in Bali in 2015 was 0.7 ‰ with an estimated number of 1,438 people. Government of Badung supports the program by subsidizing HPV vaccination to female high school students, but there were still many students who not participated because of many factors, i.e. knowledges and attitudes toward cervical cancer. The purposed of this studies were to determine the correlation between knowledges with the attitudes of female high school students in Badung toward cervical cancer and HPV vaccination participations. This cross-sectional analytic study used 100 female students in SMAN 1 Kuta, SMK Pariwisata Triatma Jaya and SMAN 1 Kuta Utara as samples. Data were collected by personal interviewed using prepared questionnaires and analyzed using Somers'd correlation test. Results showed there was significant correlation between knowledges and attitudes (p = 0.036, r = 0.214), and no significant correlation between attitudes and HPV vaccination participations (p = 0.207). For the government of Badung, it is hope to continue free HPV vaccination program and for the local health centre to hold counseling about HPV for female senior high school students routinely.
