“…Also HCP were more likely to accept vaccination if the government paid for it, this is most probably related to the poorer knowledge and education of this group or to the male preponderance, as males have been reported to have lower awareness of HPV and cervical cancer risk 20 or may be related to low knowledge higher vaccine acceptance. 29 An attitude as a general opposition to vaccination was rare and religion was not considered as an obstacle for HPV vaccination. Previous studies showed that a main barrier to vaccine acceptance was the concern that HPV vaccination could lead to more promiscuous sexual behavior, 30,31,32,33 that was put forward by less than 5% of our respondents and was similar to that of other reports.…”

ÖZETAmaç: Sağlık çalışanlarının halkı bilgilendirmedeki etkin rolü göz önüne alındığında hemşirelik öğrencileri, tıp öğrencileri ve hemşirelerin serviks kanseri, HPV ve HPV aşıları hakkındaki bilinç düzeyinin tespit edilmesini ve bilinçlendirme ihtiyacının araştırılmasını amaçladık ve İstanbul Bilim Üniversitesi öğrencileri ve afiliye hastanelerdeki sağlık çalışanlarının HPV ve serviks kanseri hakkındaki bilgilerini değerlendirdik. Gereç ve yöntem:Sağlık personeli, toplumu bilgilendirme ve yönlendirme yaptığı için, anket, tıp fakültesi ilk 3 yıl öğrencilerine, hemşirelik öğrencilerine ve hemşirelere yapıldı. Dördüncü sınıftan itibaren jinekoloji derslerinin başlamasıyla birlikte bilinç yerini bilgiye bıraktığı için sadece ilk üç yıldaki tıp öğrencileri seçilmiştir. Anket sorularını cevaplandırması istenen 743 katılımcının 603 tanesi (% 81,2) anketimizi cevaplamayı kabul etti. Daha sonra kimlik bilgisi istenmeyen anketler değerlendirmeye alındı. Bulgular:Hemşireler ve hemşirelik öğrencileri, tıp fakültesi öğrencileri (ilk 3 yıl) ve diğer sağlık çalışanlarıyla kıyaslandığında smear test konusunda daha bilgiliydiler. Katılımcıların sadece %52'si kızlarının aşılanmasına itiraz etmeyeceğini beyan etti. Aşıyı kabul etmeyenlerin kabul etmeme gerekçeleri aşının güvenirliliği hakkındaki endişeler (% 41), aşının maliyeti (%10) ve aşılanmadan sonra cinsel ilişki serbestisinin onaylanması fikri (%5) idi. Dini konular engel olarak değerlendirilmedi.Sonuç: HPV, serviks kanseri ve HPV aşıları hakkındaki farkındalığın artırılması gerekmektedir.Anahtar kelimeler: HPV, HPV aşıları, serviks kanseri, bilinç düzeyi ABSTRACT Objectives: Establishment of the knowledge and the need to make conscious in medicine students, nursing students and nurses due to the effective role of updating conscious of the health workers, we aimed to assess the knowledge of nurses and students of İstanbul Bilim University and affiliated hospitals about HPV and cervical cancer. Materials and methods:Because healthcare personnel illuminate and influences the public, the survey was conducted to medicine students of the first three years, nursing students and nurses. The reason of choosing the first three years of medicine students is with the begining of the gynecology courses at the 4th year of education in medical faculty, learning takes the place of awareness. Totally 743 participants were asked to survey but 603 subjects responded (81.2%) then the surveys that was not asked for the identity information were taken into consideration Results: Nurses and students of nursing had better knowledge about smear test when compared to students of medicine (first 3 years) and other healthcare personnel. Only 52% accepted to get a daughter vaccinated. The main reasons for vaccine rejection were the concerns about vaccine safety (41%), cost of the vaccine (10%) and sexual promiscuity (5%) after vaccination. Religious aspects were not considered as an obstacle. Conclusions:The awareness of HPV, cervical cancer and HPV vaccination should be increased. J Clin Exp Invest ...

“…Most published studies of HPV vaccine acceptability have been based on hypothetical vaccination offers rather than actual vaccination. [32][33][34] Although some studies suggest that knowing about cervical cancer, HPV and HPV vaccines is necessary for vaccine acceptance, 35,36 others report that this knowledge correlates poorly with acceptance 32 and does not predict behaviour. 36 Our data also indicate that parents' primary motivation for having their daughters vaccinated was their perception that the HPV vaccine was good for health, prevented cancer and prevented disease in general, rather than specific knowledge of cervical cancer or HPV.…”
