Systematic Review: Factors Causing Cases of Cervical Cancer Deaths in Indonesia Year 2018

Abstract

Cervical cancer was the number 2 cause of death in
non-communicable diseases among women. This cancer
is 99.7% caused by oncogenic human papilloma virus
(HPV), which attacks the cervix. Eighty percent of them are
in developing countries like Indonesia. This study aimed
to determine the factors causing the death of Indonesian
population suffering from cervical cancer in 2014-2017.
The data collection technique used in this research was
the study of literature using a systematic review method
that is health journals related to cervical cancer from
2014-2017 collected as literature through internet search.
Analysis of the data used was using qualitative descriptive
techniques by means of narration or words. The results
of the study showed that the factors that caused cervical
cancer in 2014-2017 were human papilloma virus,
smoking, vaginal discharge, parity/ number of children,
age of first marriage, sexual partners, hereditary/ family
history, birth control pills/ contraception, food, education,
and employment. From the results of this study it is
suggested that Indonesians always pay attention to their
health, especially women who already have risk factors
for cervical cancer by following an early cervical cancer
prevention program in the form of Pap smears in health
services. (Abstract)
