Korean adolescent girls are unprepared for cervical cancer prevention due to the lack of a mandatory policy regarding human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination and school health education regarding cervical cancer. The aim of this study was to determine how aware mothers are about cervical cancer prevention in their adolescent daughters, with a view to developing strategies for expanding primary cervical cancer prevention for adolescent girls through the mothers' involvement.
A qualitative design was employed. Nine mothers with adolescent daughters participated in this study and were interviewed using open-ended questions. The themes were extracted by content analysis.
A general living area in Seoul, South Korea.
The snowball method was used to select mothers.
Five themes emerged. In general, the mothers' awareness of cervical cancer was not clear, and they exhibited a lack of awareness of the importance of having a regular Papanicolaou screening test. The mothers recognised that they were role models for their daughters, and realised and accepted the necessity of educating their daughters regarding cervical cancer; however, they perceived barriers related to the prevention of cervical cancer in their daughters. The mothers recommended enforcing sex education in schools and the provision of financial support for HPV vaccination.
The mothers' awareness and preparedness with respect to the prevention of cervical cancer in their adolescent daughters were low and inadequate. Mothers should be informed and motivated to play a role in the education of their daughters regarding cervical cancer prevention. Strategies for disseminating information regarding early cervical cancer prevention for adolescent girls are recommended by communicating with both the girls and their mothers and providing them with education regarding cervical cancer prevention.
由于缺乏关于人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)疫苗接种的强制性政策以及针对宫颈癌的学校健康教育,韩国青春期女孩对宫颈癌预防没有做好准备。本研究的目的是确定母亲们对其青春期女儿宫颈癌预防的认知程度,以期制定通过母亲参与来扩大青春期女孩宫颈癌一级预防的策略。
采用质性设计。九位有青春期女儿的母亲参与了本研究,并通过开放式问题进行访谈。通过内容分析提取主题。
韩国首尔的一个普通生活区。
采用滚雪球法选择母亲。
出现了五个主题。总体而言,母亲们对宫颈癌的认知不明确,且对定期进行巴氏涂片筛查的重要性缺乏认识。母亲们认识到自己是女儿的榜样,并意识到且接受了对女儿进行宫颈癌教育的必要性;然而,她们察觉到在女儿宫颈癌预防方面存在障碍。母亲们建议在学校加强性教育,并为HPV疫苗接种提供财政支持。
母亲们对其青春期女儿宫颈癌预防的认知和准备程度较低且不足。应告知母亲并激励她们在对女儿进行宫颈癌预防教育方面发挥作用。建议通过与女孩及其母亲沟通并为她们提供宫颈癌预防教育,来传播有关青春期女孩早期宫颈癌预防的信息的策略。
