Most of the cervical cancer patients suffer from psychological effects and depression. The aim of this
research is to identify the effectiveness of Behavioral Activation Therapy (BAT) to decrease levels of
depression on women with cervical cancer. The method is quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest design
with control group. This research involves 30 respondents that were taken by purposive sampling
technique. Measuring instruments used are questionnaire of Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI) with 21
statements. The Independent variable is application of BAT and the dependent variable is depression level.
The collected data was analyzed by paired t-test with significance level α=0.05. The result showed that
there was a change in reducing depression level of cervical cancer patients significantly after the
implementation of the BAT. The result of paired t-test showed that the depression level of patients had a
significance level of p=0.000. These results demonstrate the value of p <0.05, so the research hypothesis is
accepted.
