Tingkat pengetahuan dan persepsi takut pasien kanker serviks terhadap modalitas
radioterapi merupakan salah satu faktor keberhasilan pengobatan radioterapi.
Persepsi takut masih menjadi permasalahan dalam memilih modalitas pengobatan.
Persepsi ini muncul karena pasien takut akan efek samping, pengobatan yang tidak
efektif, dan penurunan kualitas hidup. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui
hubungan tingkat pengetahuan dengan persepsi takut terhadap modalitas
radioterapi pada pasien dengan kanker serviks di Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah dr.
Zainoel Abidin. Penelitian deskriptif analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional,
dilakukan terhadap subjek penelitian 30 responden pasien yang mengalami kanker
serviks. Tingkat pengetahuan diukur dengan menggunakan kuesioner yang
dikembangkan oleh peneliti dan pengukuran persepsi takut diukur dengan
menggunakan Questionnaire for Assessing Fear of Radiotherapy in Oncology
Patients (QAFRT) yang diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Indonesia dan telah
dilakukan uji kuesioner. Dari sampel yang diteliti diperoleh mayoritas pasien
memiliki tingkat pengetahuan cukup (53,3%), dan persepsi takut sedang (73,3%).
Tidak terdapat hubungan antara tingkat pengetahuan dengan persepsi takut terhadap
modalitas radioterapi (r=-0.090, p=0,636).

Perception of fear is still a problem in choosing treatment modalities. This perception arises because patients are afraid of side effects, ineffective treatment, and decreased quality of life. This research aims to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and the perception of fear of radiotherapy modalities in patients with cervical cancer at the Regional General Hospital, dr. Zainoel Abidin. Analytical descriptive research with a cross sectional approach was carried out on research subjects, 30 patient respondents who had cervical cancer.This research is a descriptive analytical study with a cross sectional approach. The research subjects were patients suffering from cervical cancer at RSUD dr. Zainoel Abidin, Banda Aceh totaling 30 respondents. The level of knowledge was measured using a questionnaire developed by researchers and the perception of fear was measured using the Questionnaire for Assessing Fear of Radiotherapy in Oncology Patients (QAFRT) which was translated into Indonesian and the questionnaire was tested. From the sample studied, it was found that the majority of patients had a sufficient level of knowledge (53.3%), and moderate perception of fear (73.3%).
