Knowledge, attitude, and practice of parents of children aged 9-15 years for human papillomavirus vaccine and vaccination in Guangdong Province, China.
Study objective: In China, HPV vaccination coverage among young girls is relatively low, with parental knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) significantly influencing their daughters' vaccination decisions. To enhance vaccination rates, Guangdong Province has implemented a free vaccination policy for the bivalent HPV vaccine for eligible girls. This study aimed to assess the KAP levels of parents in Guangdong with daughters aged 9-15 regarding HPV vaccine and HPV vaccination and identify associated factors.
Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted from April 21 to 29, 2022, recruiting 4,976 parents in Guangdong Province. Socio-demographic characteristics and KAP levels were analyzed using frequencies and percentages. The Chi-square test compared KAP differences across various socio-demographic groups, while multivariable logistic regression identified factors associated with KAP.
Results: The sample included 1,837 fathers (36.98%) and 3,130 mothers (63.02%). The overall correct response rate of knowledge, attitude and practice questions was 80.91%, 79.05% and 66.26% respectively. 71.41% of parents demonstrated "good" knowledge, 40.69% exhibited "positive" attitude toward vaccination, and 56.79% reported "favorable" practice. Mothers, those aged 35 or older, and individuals with university/college -level education or above were more likely to show "good" knowledge and "positive" attitude, though they also exhibited "unfavorable" practice. Additionally, parents employed in public institutions and being married tended to have better KAP.
Conclusion: While parents in Guangdong display high knowledge and positive attitude towards HPV vaccine and HPV vaccination, inconsistencies exist between their knowledge, attitude, and practice. Future interventions should focus on well-designed educational campaigns with clear messaging and timely, transparent communication through trusted sources, in order to promote favorable practice alongside improving parental knowledge and attitude.
