<![CDATA[Decision making for taking screening is an important component in preventing cervical cancer, but still many women who have not yet done it due to a lack of knowledge and decision-making ability. Development of intervention tailored to the stages of decision-making based on the Precaution Adoption Process Model, such as training, is able to improve decision-making ability to do the screening. This study aimed to determine the differences in the effect of training on decision-making for cervical cancer screening based on PAPM in the UPT Griya Antapani Health Center Bandung. This quasi-experimental study with two group pre-test post-test design involved 84 women aged 30-49 years who were chosen by purposive and proportional cluster sampling from two villages divided into 42 respondents each. Group A received training with PowerPoint media, leaflets, videos, and WhatsApp while group B received training with PowerPoint media, leaflets, and videos. The data of decision-making was collected using the Precaution Adoption Process Model checklist: before, after training, and 15 days after training then analyzed using Friedman test and Mann Whitney test. The results showed that there were differences in decision-making in each group before and after training with p <0.001 but Mann Whitney test showed that there was no difference in decision-making between groups after training (p = 1,000 and p = 0.316). This depicted that any method and media can be used to change decision-making. Providing training and counseling is needed according to the stages of decision-making taking into account the factors that influence it.
