Abstract
Objective: To identify factors associated with mothers’ preferences for cervical cancer prevention for their daughters aged 9–12 years in Palembang City, Indonesia.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 442 mothers who had daughters aged 9–12 years and attended maternal and child health services in 29 primary health care centres in Palembang City, Indonesia. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire based on the PRECEDE–PROCEED framework and analysed using Chi-square tests and logistic regression.
Results: Of respondents, 76.5% demonstrated appropriate prevention preferences. Several variables were significantly associated with prevention preferences (p<0.05). Multivariate analysis identified three predictors: attitudes toward HPV vaccination (OR=2.80; 95% CI: 1.59–4.95; p<0.001), perceived individual risk (OR=1.67; 95% CI: 1.03–2.69; p=0.036), and peer support (OR=1.88; 95% CI: 1.04–3.39; p=0.037).
Conclusion: Mothers’ prevention preferences were influenced by psychosocial factors, particularly attitudes toward HPV vaccination and peer support. Strengthening these factors may improve early cervical cancer prevention among adolescent girls.

Key words: Cervical cancer, HPV vaccination, mothers, health behavior, public health.
