摘要

导言:人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)是导致子宫颈癌最常见的因素。人乳头瘤病毒疫苗是预防子宫颈癌的成功策略。因此，本研究的目的是调查女大学生对HPV感染及其疫苗的知识和认知。 & lt; b>材料,amp;方法:& lt; / b>这项横断面调查的参与者是沙特阿拉伯达曼伊玛目阿卜杜勒拉赫曼本费萨尔大学应用医学专业的女学生。该研究采用结构化的28个选择题问卷进行。在2022年9月至11月期间，共有168名参与者参与了这项调查。结果:参与者平均年龄为20.10±1.74岁。大多数参与者(52%)了解HPV。而52%的参与者对HPV疫苗持积极态度。参与者的年龄与HPV知识呈正相关(OR=1.884, 95% CI 1.06-3.35)。来自医护人员家庭的参与者相信，男性和女性都可能感染这种病毒(67%对42%，p-0.02)。& lt; b>结论:& lt; / b>对HPV及其疫苗的总体认识和态度是充分的。重要的是在大学内实施教育方案，并在社区开展宣传运动，鼓励接种疫苗，从而降低宫颈癌的发病率。

Awareness and attitude of female university students on the human papillomavirus and vaccination: A cross-sectional study

Introduction: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common factor in causing cervical cancer. HPV vaccine is a successful strategy to prevent cervical cancer. Accordingly, the objective of this study was to examine female university students’ knowledge and perceptions concerning HPV infection and its vaccine.
Materials & methods: The participants in this cross-sectional survey were female students of applied medical sciences at Imam Abdurrahman Bin Faisal University Dammam, Saudi Arabia. The study was conducted using a structured 28-multiple-choice items questionnaire. A total of 168 participants were included in the survey between September to November 2022.
Results: The average age of participants was 20.10±1.74 years. The majority of the participants (52%) had knowledge of HPV. Whereas 52% of participants showed a positive attitude toward HPV vaccine. The age of the participants was positively and significantly associated with good knowledge of HPV (OR=1.884, 95% CI 1.06-3.35). Participants from a healthcare worker’s family were convinced that it could infect both men and women equally (67% vs. 42%, p-0.02).
Conclusions: Overall knowledge and attitude toward HPV and its vaccine were found adequate. It is crucial to implement an educational program within universities and awareness campaigns in community to encourage vaccination, which leads to lower incidence of cervical cancer.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
