This research aims to determine the association of a mother's knowledge regarding cervical cancer on performing Pap smear screening tests. The method used in this research is analytic cross�sectional with a total sample of 77 respondents.

The statistical test with Chi-square done on SPSS shows the p�value = 0,03, proving that the association of the mother's knowledge regarding cervical cancer with the performing Pap smear screening test is significant.
