“…However, the prevalence of HPV is increasing at alarming rate in women in the Gulf countries (Turki et al, 2013). Also, the majority of women in a similar society were not aware of the availability of HPV vaccination (Ortashi et al, 2014). Nonetheless, studies conducted in the UK and USA (more liberal societies) showed that only 2.5% of female respondents in the UK and less than 50% of female respondents in the USA knew that the virus is sexually transmitted and can cause cervical cancer.…”

Background: Cancer is the leading cause of mortality around the world. However, the majority of cancers occur as a result of modifiable risk factors; hence public awareness of cancer risk factors is crucial to reduce the incidence. The objective of this study was to identify the level of public awareness of cancer risk factors among the adult Omani population. Conclusions:The majority of respondents in this study in Oman were not aware of the common risk factors for cancer. It may be possible to reduce the incidence of cancers in Oman by developing strategies to educate the public about these risk factors.

The human papilloma virus (HPV) is the main aetiological agent for cervical cancer, one of the most frequent cancers observed in women throughout the world. There are effective programs for reducing the incidence of cervical cancer with HPV vaccination. The objective of this study was to discuss the applicability of the HPV vaccination and the role of nurses in prevention of cervical cancer. Use of bivalent and quadrivalent vaccines has been initiated against the types of HPV which are the primary cause of cancer. The quadrivalent HPV vaccination has entered into the routine vaccination schedule in many European countries for use in children and adolescents between 9-15 years of age and for women between 16-26 years of age, whereas it has been proposed that the bivalent vaccination should be given to girls between 9-18 years of age. While cervical cancer is among the cancers that can be prevented, it is essential to continue screening tests while introducing vaccination in a systematic manner for protection. On this subject, among the most important roles of nurses is to implement the screening programs by fulfilling the caregiving, training and consultancy roles for the society and especially, for high risk groups and to increase the awareness of the people.Keywords: HPV vaccines -uterine cervical cancer -screening -nurse's roles -awareness MINI-REVIEW Innovations in HPV Vaccination and Roles of Nurses in Cervical Cancer PreventionJulide Gulizar Yildirim 1 *, Zeynep Arabaci 2 reduce the rates of cervical cancer (Bilir, 2007;Brabin et al., 2011).
