ABSTRAK
Latar Belakang: Kanker payudara merupakan salah satu penyebab kematian tertinggi pada perempuan di dunia. Upaya deteksi dini dapat dilakukan melalui Pemeriksaan Payudara Sendiri (SADARI), namun praktik SADARI masih rendah. Rendahnya tindakan SADARI dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor, diantaranya tingkat pengetahuan dan sikap wanita usia subur terhadap deteksi dini kanker payudara. Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan tingkat pengetahuan dan sikap terhadap tindakan SADARI pada wanita usia subur di Puskesmas Nusa Bakti Tahun 2026. Metode Penelitian: Analitik kuantitatif dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Populasi penelitian adalah seluruh wanita usia subur yang berkunjung ke Puskesmas Nusa Bakti dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 60 responden yang diambil menggunakan teknik accidental sampling. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner tingkat pengetahuan, sikap, dan tindakan SADARI, kemudian dianalisis secara univariat dan bivariat menggunakan uji Chi-Square dengan tingkat kepercayaan 95% (α = 0,05). Hasil: Sebagian besar responden memiliki tingkat pengetahuan baik sebanyak 40 responden (66,7%), sikap positif sebanyak 34 responden (56,7%), dan melakukan tindakan SADARI sebanyak 35 responden (58,3%). Hasil analisis bivariat menunjukkan terdapat hubungan antara tingkat pengetahuan dengan tindakan SADARI dengan nilai p-value = 0,002. Serta terdapat hubungan antara sikap dengan tindakan SADARI dengan nilai p-value = 0,028. Kesimpulan: Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara tingkat pengetahuan dan sikap terhadap tindakan SADARI pada wanita usia subur di Puskesmas Nusa Bakti Tahun 2026. Diharapkan tenaga kesehatan dapat meningkatkan edukasi dan promosi kesehatan mengenai pentingnya SADARI sebagai upaya deteksi dini kanker payudara.

ABSTRACT
Background: Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women worldwide. Early detection can be carried out through Breast Self-Examination (BSE); however, the practice of BSE remains low. Several factors influence BSE practices, including the level of knowledge and attitudes of women of reproductive age toward early breast cancer detection. Objective: To determine the relationship between knowledge level and attitude toward BSE practices among women of reproductive age at Nusa Bakti Public Health Center in 2026. Methods: This study employed a quantitative analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of all women of reproductive age who visited Nusa Bakti Public Health Center. A total of 60 respondents were selected using accidental sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires assessing knowledge level, attitude, and BSE practices. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Chi-Square test at a 95% confidence level (α = 0.05). Results: Most respondents had a good level of knowledge, accounting for 40 respondents (66,7%), positive attitudes were found in 34 respondents (56.7%), and 35 respondents (58.3%) performed BSE. Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between knowledge level and BSE practices (p-value = 0.002). Furthermore, a significant relationship was found between attitude and BSE practices (p-value = 0.028). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between knowledge level and attitude toward BSE practices among women of reproductive age at Nusa Bakti Public Health Center in 2026. Health workers are expected to enhance education and health promotion regarding the importance of BSE as an early detection method for breast cancer.
