摘要

目的:本研究的主要目的是测量医学生对HPV及其疫苗的知识、态度和未来的职业意向。本研究旨在确定土耳其独特的社会文化和医疗保健景观中影响这些变量的因素。来自数据分析的见解可用于指导有针对性的教育干预措施,旨在提高土耳其人乳头瘤病毒疫苗接种率并减轻与人乳头瘤病毒相关的健康后果。材料和方法:本研究于2022年11月至12月进行,采用描述性和比比性研究设计,对Afyonkarahisar健康科学大学医学院687名医学生的hpv相关知识、态度和意图进行评估。进行了一项包含20个问题的全面调查,涵盖人口统计细节、HPV意识和对疫苗接种的态度,然后进行统计分析。结果:研究人群平均年龄为20.6岁,以女性为主(60.1%)。总体而言,91.6%的参与者主要通过医学教育(52.1%)和社交媒体(42.3%)了解HPV。然而,只有3.5%的患者接种了HPV疫苗。影响疫苗接种的因素包括与被诊断为HPV或宫颈癌的密切接触(p=0.001)、性别(女性p=0.01,男性p=0.02)和先前对HPV的认识(p=0.03)。存在着重大的误解,特别是关于HPV与特定癌症的关联以及疫苗是否被纳入常规计划。结论:根据我们的研究,医学生对HPV和HPV疫苗接种的态度和知识对未来的医疗保健提供者和决策者至关重要。人们对宫颈癌以外的hpv相关癌症了解甚少,疫苗咨询培训也不足。与人乳头瘤病毒或子宫颈癌有密切接触的学生接种疫苗的可能性明显更高。制定有重点的教育策略,加强人乳头瘤病毒疫苗的依从性,并为未来的医疗专业人员提供有效教育患者的技能,这一点至关重要。

Assessment of HPV Vaccine Knowledge Levels Among Medical Faculty Students: A Comprehensive Examination in the Turkish Context
Objective: The primary objective of this study was to measure medical students' knowledge, attitudes, and future professional intentions regarding HPV and its vaccines. This study aims to identify the factors that impact these variables within Turkey's distinctive sociocultural and healthcare landscapes. The insights derived from data analysis can be employed to guide focused educational interventions, aiming to enhance HPV vaccination rates and mitigate HPV-related health outcomes in Turkey. Material and Methods: Carried out between November and December 2022, this study employed a descriptive and comparative research design to evaluate HPV-related knowledge, attitudes, and intentions among 687 medical students enrolled in the Medical Faculty of Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University. A comprehensive 20-question survey was administered, covering demographic details, HPV awareness, and attitudes towards vaccination, followed by statistical analysis. Results: The study population exhibited a mean age of 20.6 years and was predominantly female (60.1%). Overall, 91.6% of the participants were aware of HPV, primarily through their medical education (52.1%) and social media (42.3%). However, only 3.5% of the patients were vaccinated against HPV. Factors influencing vaccine uptake included having close contacts diagnosed with HPV or cervical cancer (p=0.001), gender (p=0.01 for females, p=0.02 for males), and prior HPV awareness (p=0.03). Significant misconceptions existed, notably regarding HPV's association with specific cancers and the vaccine's inclusion in the regular schedule. Conclusions: According to our study, medical students' attitudes and knowledge about HPV and HPV vaccination are critically important for future healthcare providers and policymakers. HPV-related cancers beyond cervical cancer are poorly understood, and vaccine counselling training is inadequate. Students who had been in close contact with HPV or cervical cancer exhibited a significantly higher likelihood of receiving the vaccine. It is crucial to formulate focused educational strategies that enhance HPV vaccine adherence and provide future medical professionals with the skills to educate patients effectively.
