Abstract

Objective: To understand the current situation for social support and HPV vaccination behavior of female sex workers (FSWs) in entertainment venues and to explore the association between the support and HPV vaccination behavior.
Methods: 923 FSWs in entertainment venues in a region of Guangxi were selected as survey respondents by using intentional sampling and employing a self-developed basic information questionnaire. The social support rating and the HPV vaccination behavior scales were analyzed to determine the current status of support and HPV vaccination behavior of FSWs in entertainment venues. In addition, the correlations between these parameters were analyzed.
Results: The total score of social support of FSWs in entertainment venues was 35.13± 8.10, and the score for HPV vaccination behavior was 30.08± 5.73. There were significant differences between these two parameters for FSWs of different ages, monthly incomes and working hours (P < 0.05). Objective, subjective and social support were positively correlated with all dimensions of HPV vaccination behavior (r = 0.212~0.236, 0.245~0.334 and 0.113~0.152, respectively; P < 0.01 in all cases). Typical correlation analysis yielded a correlation between these three dimensions of social support as well as with two dimensions of HPV vaccination behavior (self-decision-making and self-efficacy) (r = 0.373; P < 0.01).
Conclusion: Social support and HPV vaccination behavior of FSWs in entertainment venues initially low. However, as social support for FSWs was increased, their behavior towards HPV vaccination was elevated. Both subjective and objective support helped FSWs in entertainment venues their behavior to HPV vaccination and to maintain their physical and mental health.

中国广西某地区娱乐场所女性性工作者的社会支持与 HPV 疫苗接种行为之间的相关性

目的了解娱乐场所女性性工作者（FSWs）的社会支持和HPV疫苗接种行为现状，探讨支持与HPV疫苗接种行为之间的关联。方法：采用意向性抽样方法，使用自编的基本信息调查问卷，选取广西某地区娱乐场所的923名女性性工作者作为调查对象。通过分析社会支持度量表和 HPV 疫苗接种行为量表，了解娱乐场所餐饮服务行业从业人员的社会支持现状和 HPV 疫苗接种行为。此外，还分析了这些参数之间的相关性：娱乐场所女性从业者社会支持总分为（35.13± 8.10）分，HPV疫苗接种行为总分为（30.08± 5.73）分。不同年龄、月收入和工作时间的娱乐场所女性从业者在这两项指标上存在明显差异（P < 0.05）。客观支持、主观支持和社会支持与 HPV 疫苗接种行为的各方面均呈正相关（r 分别为 0.212~0.236、0.245~0.334 和 0.113~0.152；P 均为 0.01）。典型相关分析表明，社会支持的这三个维度与 HPV 疫苗接种行为的两个维度（自我决策和自我效能）之间存在相关性（r = 0.373; P < 0.01）：结论：娱乐场所中的社会支持与女性同性恋者的 HPV 疫苗接种行为最初关系不大。然而，随着社会支持的增加，FSW 的 HPV 疫苗接种行为也随之增加。主观支持和客观支持都有助于娱乐场所中的女性性工作者接种 HPV 疫苗，维护其身心健康。
