Background: Cervical cancer is a health problem that is the main cause of death from cancer in women. One of the interventions recommended as an effort to prevent cervical cancer is HPV vaccination. However, up to now, the motivation to undergo HPV immunization among women in Indonesia is still low. Many factors contribute to this low motivation.
Purpose: This research aimed to determine the relationship between age, education, income, level of knowledge, and the motivation of Posyandu cadres to carry out HPV vaccination in Pasinggangan Village, Banyumas District.
Methods: The research method used a correlational descriptive design. Data collection was carried out cross sectionally. Technique sampling was used total sampling, with 70 Posyandu cadres in Pasinggangan Village, Banyumas District, as respondents. Research data were collected using a questionnaire instrument. Data analysis used the Chi Square test.
Results: The research results showed that the p value of age was 0,088, the p value of education level was 0,042, the p value of the level of family income was 0,004, and the p value of the level of knowledge about cervical cancer was 0,000.
Conclusion: There was a correlation between education, income, and knowledge level with the motivation of Posyandu cadres to receive HPV vaccination in Pasinggangan Village, Banyumas Regency.
