“…This improvement of knowledge might be the effect of the nursing guideline on their knowledge. The findings of the current study are similar to the (13) , who had done a study in North Carolina about an educational intervention to improve human papilloma virus (HPV) and cervical cancer knowledge among African American college students, they found that, there was a highly significant improvement of students' knowledge because students didn't have knowledge pre intervention compare post intervention, the majority of students reported knowledge of the HPV vaccinewith the intervention & students' knowledge score, correct response rates significantly increased with the intervention.…”

“…This indicates an important area for improvement because recent research shows engaging in these high quality recommendation practices significantly increases vaccination rates. 16 Consistent with previous research, 13,14,24,25 education for parents/adolescents and providers was often mentioned by our participants as a necessary step to increase vaccination rates among adolescents. Physicians believed that it would be important to provide education for adolescents by the school system during health and wellness classes.…”

Understanding physician recommendation practices for HPV vaccination is a crucial step to developing interventions that can increase high quality recommendations and improve vaccination acceptance. Florida physicians (n = 340) completed a survey assessing recommendation strategies, specifically strength, consistency, and presentation. Physicians were also asked to provide suggestions for improving HPV vaccination in Florida. Responses were dichotomized for each outcome: strength (i.e., strongly recommend vs. other), consistently recommend (i.e., always recommend vs. other), and recommendation presentation (i.e., presented in the same manner as mandatory vaccines for adolescents vs. other). Bivariate logistic regression was conducted to determine the association between physician/practice characteristics and each outcome. Variables significant (p < .05) in bivariate analyses were included in multivariable logistic regression analyses. Vaccines for Children (VFC) provider status (OR = 2.62, 95% CI = 1.23-5.59 [strong]; OR = 2.84, 95% CI = 1.26-6.39 [consistent]) and not limiting the number of vaccines during a visit (OR = .283, 95% = CI .111-.722 [strong]; OR = .210, 95% = CI .066-.673 [consistent]) were significantly associated with strong and consistent recommendation. Reminders from the healthcare team were associated with consistency (OR = 2.26, 95% CI = 1.23-4.16) and EMR-based reminders were associated with presentation (OR = 2.00, 95% CI = 1.11-3.61). Multinomial logistic regression analysis examined factors associated with level of engagement in recommendation strategies. Multinomial regression indicated VFC providers (OR = 12.61, 95% CI = 1.89-82.20), and those receiving EMR-based reminders (OR = 4.02, 95% = CI 1.28-12.63), among others, were more likely to engage in all 3 types of recommendation practices. Physician suggestions for improving HPV vaccination rates included improving parent/patient/provider education and reducing vaccine costs. Future interventions should emphasize key components of delivering effective HPV vaccine recommendations, include information about insurance coverage, and improve provider awareness of VFC benefits.

“…However, almost one-fourth of the 6th-year students still did not know about HPV vaccination. Knowledge of vaccine availability was even lower in medical students from China (11), but it was much higher in students from countries with national HPV vaccination programs (12,13). Studies from Italy have shown that the HPV vaccination rate was much higher in medical students in comparison with the general student population (13,14).…”

Introduction: The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination has not yet been integrated into the national immunization program in Ukraine, and the vaccination rate is low. The objectives of our study were to investigate HPV vaccination prevalence and knowledge, risk of HPV transmission, and HPV-related cervical cancer awareness in female medical students. Methods: Female medical students at Bohomolets National Medical University in their 2nd through 6th years of the program completed an anonymous survey on HPV infection and vaccination. Results: A total of 640 surveys were analyzed. Knowledge about HPV vaccination was reported by 57.3% of respondents. The reported vaccination rate was 1.7%. HPV-related cervical cancer awareness was reported by 81.1%. More than 30% of the respondents were not yet sexually active. Conclusions: Female medical students showed low knowledge of HPV vaccination and an extremely low HPV vaccination rate, but a higher level of HPV-related cervical cancer awareness. A substantial number of students were not yet sexually active or had never had sex without a condom. HPV vaccination is thus still important for our respondents. There is an emerging need in educational programs for students starting from their first semester of the program and for a broader informational campaign focused on schoolchildren and their parents.
