The purpose of this study was to examine human papillomavirus (HPV) and HPV vaccine knowledge, attitudes, and uptake in college students and to identify factors associated with vaccination status utilizing the Precaution Adoption Process Model (PAPM). The sample included 383 undergraduates from a public university who participated in February and March 2015. Students were emailed an anonymous online survey assessing knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions related to HPV and HPV vaccination, as well as their stage in the PAPM regarding vaccination completion. Significantly more females (47.3%) than males (15.8%) were vaccinated. While most students had basic knowledge of HPV, they had low perceptions of their susceptibility to contract HPV. Most unvaccinated students were in the early stages of decision-making related to vaccination. Campus health centers have an opportunity to increase HPV vaccination rates. This study indicates that students need prompts from providers, as well as education regarding susceptibility to HPV.
本研究的目的是调查大学生对人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)及HPV疫苗的知识、态度和接种情况,并利用预防采纳过程模型(PAPM)确定与疫苗接种状况相关的因素。样本包括来自一所公立大学的383名本科生,他们于2015年2月和3月参与了研究。通过电子邮件向学生发送了一份匿名在线调查问卷,评估他们对HPV及HPV疫苗接种的知识、态度和看法,以及他们在PAPM模型中关于完成疫苗接种的阶段。接种疫苗的女性(47.3%)明显多于男性(15.8%)。虽然大多数学生对HPV有基本了解,但他们对自身感染HPV的易感性认知较低。大多数未接种疫苗的学生处于与疫苗接种相关的决策早期阶段。校园健康中心有机会提高HPV疫苗接种率。本研究表明,学生需要来自医护人员的提示以及关于HPV易感性的教育。
