Abstract

Background: Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid is a screening method for cervical cancer in Indonesia that is completed with photographs, or DoVIA. This photograph (DoVIA) can be discussed with the expert team in the media called TeleDoVIA. Objective: To assess the eligibility of TeleDoVIA as a medium for longdistance communication and medical consultation among medical practitioners who conduct VIA and oncology consultants. Methods: The sample was medical practitioners who sent cervical photographs to TeleDoVIA from between January 2019 and August 2019. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 96 medical practitioners with 191 cervical photographs were obtained. Results: The medical practitioners were distributed from the westernmost and easternmost parts of Indonesia (Banda Aceh and Fakfak). 70.8% of the medical practitioners were midwives, 92.7% work in Primary Health Care and were trained after 2016. Nearly all those involved (98.9%) were satisfied with the explanation given by the expert team on TeleDoVIA. Approximately 89% of documentations received were sharp pictures. The interpretation of VIA among medical practitioners compared to the expert team were similar, with an accuracy rate of up to 88.5%. Conclusion: TeleDoVIA can be considered as an effective communication and consultation medium to discuss the results of VIA.
