Objective. Knowing the Relationship between Cervical Cancer Knowledge and Early Detection of Visual Inspection of Acetic Acid (IVA) in Women of Childbearing Age in Tawaang Barat Subdistrict, Manado City in 2023 Research Method. This research uses quantitative research with analytical survey methods and a cross-sectional approach. The sample in this study was women of childbearing age aged 25-49 years. The sample was taken using Cluster random sampling, obtaining a sample of 135 respondents. Data analysis used Chi square. Results. For sufficient knowledge, 53 people (39.3%), 78 people (57.8%) did not carry out early detection. The results of Chi square analysis for the relationship between knowledge of cervical cancer and early detection of VIA examination are p value (0.000) ˂α (0.05).

One of the easiest ways to detect cervical cancer early is with a visual examination of acetic acid. Early detection of cervical cancer by visual examination with acetic acid is guaranteed by the government, namely BPJS Kesehatan, and is included in the national health insurance program. The purpose of the study was to determine the low participation of women of childbearing age in acetic acid visual examination by UPT Puskesmas Timpah. The method used in this study is descriptive research. Questionnaires made by purposive sampling technique are used as data collection instruments; The maximum number of samples in the study sample is 30 samples. The respondents of this study were women of childbearing age. The results showed that based on respondents' knowledge of information, 26 respondents were uninformed (86.66%), 20 respondents (93.33%) did not support men. In the field of education, 21 people were found to have elementary and junior high school education as much as 70%, in the support of officers it was found that 20 people did not support (66.67%). Regarding access to information, it is known that 22 people did not get any assistance to get information (73.33%).    

Cervical cancer is the most common health problem in women, where special attention is needed to prevent this health problem. One effort that can be done to recognize pre-cancerous lesions early is by conducting an Acetic Acid Visual Inspection (IVA) examination which can reduce the incidence of morbidity and maternal mortality caused by cervical cancer. This IVA examination is very easy and practical to be carried out either by midwives or professional health workers (doctors) who can be obtained at health facilities such as clinics, health centers and hospitals. This study aims to determine the effect of health education on maternal adherence to visual inspection of acetic acid at the Suli Health Center. This research method is analytic with design Quasi Experiment (experiments pseudo), with design one group pretest posttest . The population in this study were all women of childbearing age (WUS) who were in the work area of the Suli Health Center as many as 78 people and the sample in this study were all WUS who were in the work area of the Suli Health Center who had certain characteristics, namely women of childbearing age who had active sexual relations. with the number of samples in this study amounted to 30 people. Sampling was carried out using purposive sampling method. This research was processed using a computerized system with the help of the SPSS program. The data analysis method used was statistical test analysis with the Wilcoxon signed ranks test to determine the effect of health education on WUS compliance by conducting an IVA examination where if obtained The p value of this test or p 0.000 <0.05, can be interpreted as significant. Therefore, it is recognized that health education has an impact on WUS adherence to carrying out IVA examinations.  

Pain is a defense mechanism of the body and caused by tissue damage to the body due to injury, accident or medical action. Traditionally, cashew leaves were used in curing inflammation, pain, toothache, wound healing, rheumatism as well as dysentery. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of analgetic power of cashew leaf ethanol extract (Anacardium occidentale L.) in white rats (Rattus norvegicus). The research conducted is experimental research, with chemical excitatory methods. The test animals were divided into 5 groups with each treatment of 3 mice. Group I Na CMC 1%, group II Paracetamol, group III cashew leaf ethanol extract 10%, group IV cashew leaf ethanol extract 20%, and group V cashew leaf ethanol extract 40% given orally. Pain inductors are 1% induced acetic acid intraperitonially. Observed the amount of mice geliat for 1 hour and calculated percent analgetic power. The results obtained in this study have properties as analgetics with analgetic power concentration of 10%: 82.73%, concentration of 20%: 84.89%, and concentration of 40%: 88.48%.
