摘要

导言:人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)在香港造成了巨大的医疗负担,但却被低估了。本研究调查了在为小学女生实施免疫接种计划后,影响家长接受 HPV 疫苗接种的因素。我们评估了家长对男孩和女孩接种 HPV 疫苗的看法及相关因素:我们在 2021 年 12 月至 2022 年 2 月期间对香港的小学四至六年级学生家长进行了横断面调查。我们的自填式在线调查收集了有关社会人口学特征、对HPV疫苗接种的认识和知识、对HPV疫苗接种的态度以及对HPV疫苗接种的接受程度的数据。对男孩家长和女孩家长的特征进行了比较。通过多变量逻辑回归分析了与疫苗接受度相关的因素:结果:我们观察到男孩家长和女孩家长对接种 HPV 疫苗的认知度很高;但他们对 HPV 和 HPV 疫苗的了解相对较少。我们还发现,HPV 疫苗接种率低得惊人。各组家长对 HPV 疫苗的态度相似。大多数家长认为,HPV 疫苗在预防感染方面是安全有效的。男孩家长对 HPV 疫苗的接受度较低。与接受度相关的因素在不同家长群体之间存在差异:结论:对人乳头瘤病毒和人乳头瘤病毒疫苗的高度认识可预测疫苗的接受程度。男孩的父母不太可能接受 HPV 疫苗接种,因此应重视解决这一群体中潜在的 HPV 疫苗接种犹豫问题。公众教育也应旨在提高对政府疫苗接种计划的认识,并应考虑对小学以上的学龄儿童实施补种计划。

Factors affecting human papillomavirus vaccine acceptance among parents of Primary 4 to 6 boys and girls in Hong Kong.

Introduction: Human papillomavirus (HPV) poses a substantial but underestimated healthcare burden in Hong Kong. This study investigated factors affecting parental acceptance of HPV vaccination after the introduction of an immunisation programme for primary school girls. We assessed parental perceptions and related factors concerning HPV vaccination for both boys and girls.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey between December 2021 and February 2022 among parents of Primary 4 to 6 students in Hong Kong. Our self-administered online survey collected data regarding socio-demographic characteristics, awareness and knowledge of HPV vaccination, attitudes towards HPV vaccination, and acceptance of HPV vaccination. Characteristics were compared between boys' parents and girls' parents. Factors associated with vaccine acceptance were analysed by multivariate logistic regression.

Results: We observed high awareness of HPV vaccination among boys' parents and girls' parents; however, they demonstrated relatively poor knowledge of HPV and the HPV vaccine. An alarming low HPV vaccination uptake rate was also observed. Attitudes towards the HPV vaccine were similar between parent groups. A majority of parents believed that the HPV vaccine was safe and effective in preventing infection. Parents of boys showed lower HPV vaccine acceptance. Factors associated with acceptance differed between parent groups.

Conclusion: High awareness of HPV and HPV vaccine is predictive of vaccine acceptance. Boys' parents are less likely to accept HPV vaccination and emphasis should be placed on addressing potential HPV vaccine hesitancy in this group. Public education should also aim to raise awareness of government vaccination programme, and implementation of catch-up vaccination programme to school children beyond primary school should be considered.
