“…According to the Korean National Immunization Survey, vaccination coverage in 2013 was 28.7%, 15.9%, and 4.6% among women aged 19-26 years, 27-39 years, and 40-59 years, respectively [ 2 ]. Although there is no national data on vaccine coverage in young girls, several studies have demonstrated low rates among high school girls (1%-10%) [ 3 - 6 ]. Given that HPV is a cause of cervical cancer, and a safe and effective vaccine is available, the most effective target population is young girls without any sexual experience.…”

“…However, there had been no national or governmental HPV vaccination program, such as organized school-based vaccination or subsidized vaccination programs, until 2016. Thus, the vaccine coverage during this period was low (12% among adult women [ 2 ]; 1%-10% among high school girls [ 3 - 6 ]). Moreover, awareness regarding HPV vaccination and its effectiveness, which is an important factor that influences the voluntary reception of the vaccination, was low among adult men and women [ 7 ], mothers [ 5 , 8 ], high-school girls [ 3 , 4 ], and college students [ 9 , 10 ].…”

PurposeHuman papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination has been included in the National Immunization Program in Korea since 2016. We aimed to evaluate changes in the awareness of and attitudes toward HPV vaccination, among adults in Korea since the first introduction of the vaccines in 2007.Materials and MethodsA nationwide population-based survey was conducted in 2016 for 1,200 nationally representative Korean men and women; the data obtained were compared with the data from the nationwide survey conducted in 2007.ResultsA significant increase in the awareness of HPV infection (35.8%) and vaccination (36.9%) was observed in 2016 from 13.3% and 8.6% in 2007, respectively. Willingness to be vaccinated against HPV decreased from 55.0% in 2007 to 25.8% in 2016, and the proportion of respondents expressing uncertainty increased from 28.3% in 2007 to 43.3% in 2016. Only 12.1% of men and 22.0% of women knew about the free national HPV vaccination program for girls, launched in June 2016. Younger women, with higher income level, awareness of the HPV vaccine, and perception of the seriousness of infections had a higher willingness to be vaccinated. A high education level, awareness of HPV infection and vaccination, and perception of the seriousness of infection were positively associated with the willingness of respondents to vaccinate their daughters.ConclusionRaising the awareness of HPV infection and vaccination with appropriate knowledge is necessary for the successful implementation of the national HPV vaccination program.

“…Most of the time, South Korean females feel embarrassed or humiliated when they have to reveal their genitalia in front of a male physician at the obstetrics/gynecology (OBGYN) clinic, and these kinds of negative emotions interfere with regular gynecological checkups (Lee, 2015; Park et al., 2005, 2006). According to a study of 452 female middle and high school students in Seoul (Choi and Cheon, 2015), the proportion of female middle and high school students who had visited OBGYN clinics was 15.0%, which was lower than that of female college students (26.7%) (Kim and Ahn, 2007). Some of the main reasons that they avoid visiting the OBGYN clinic are that they have no signs or symptoms that are related to gynecological problems, are unmarried, or are afraid of what others may think about the visit to the clinic (Kim and Ahn, 2007).…”

“…Although there are no guidelines for adolescents, when adolescents are experiencing abnormal gynecologic signs and symptoms, such as dysmenorrhea or abnormal uterine bleeding, they must get a proper screening at the gynecological clinic (Braverman and Breech, 2010). The more awareness and knowledge of HPV and cervical cancer, the higher the HPV vaccination status and intent of female teenagers (Choi and Cheon, 2015). Therefore, if knowledge about the Pap test were to increase, then the intention to perform and the actual performance rate will increase (Kim, 2009; Kim et al., 2015; Marek et al., 2012).…”

Purpose The aim of this study was to determine the effects of cervical cancer prevention education (CCPE) among Korean middle-school girls in terms of whether it provided them with a positive perception of the Papanicolaou test (Pap test) and encouraged them to undergo Pap testing in adulthood. Methods A mixed-method design was used to only one group of 15 people, which combined a one-group pretest-posttest design with a qualitative study and a focus group interview (FGI). The CCPE was provided to 15 girls, after which they participated in the FGI. The changes between pretest and posttest were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The findings of the FGI were analyzed using content analysis. Results After being provided CCPE, the girls showed a significant increase in their awareness of the importance of cervical cancer prevention ( Z = –3.10, p = 0.002), but there were no significant changes in the perceived importance of their body, their emotional response to the Pap test, their confidence in cervical cancer prevention, or their intention to undergo Pap testing. In the FGI, the girls expressed negative emotions about the Pap test and were aware of the necessity of CCPE. Conclusion This is the first study to develop CCPE focused on the Pap test targeting Korean middle-school girls. We found that the CCPE was partially effective, in terms of increasing their awareness of the importance of cervical cancer prevention.

“…No article was excluded after quality evaluation according to MMAT guidelines, because it might have caused bias [ 22 ]. Two papers were scored as low [ 23 , 24 ], four papers as moderate [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ], and thirteen as very high [ 10 , 12 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ]. Two papers with low scores were retained because despite having participants from limited areas, they investigated important ideas related to this systematic review.…”

To enhance the vaccination rate of adolescents against HPV, understanding their current vaccination intentions and identifying the factors that influence their decision to vaccinate are imperative. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) was used to search for relative literature. Five electronic databases (CINAHL, PubMed, Web of science, Research Information Sharing Service (RISS) and Korea Citation Index (KCI)) were searched from 2007 to 2022, and 19 studies were selected for final review. The Mixed Methods Assessment Tool (MMAT) was used as a critical appraisal tool to evaluate the quality for various types of research designs. This integrative review revealed three themes, including facilitators (personal characteristics and environmental factors), barriers (lack of awareness and knowledge about HPV, concerns about side effects, and the burden of costs), and ways to increase vaccination uptake (knowledge promotion and HPV vaccines coverage by public insurance). To encourage HPV vaccine uptake, it is essential to enhance public knowledge, create compelling advertisements, and ensure that the vaccines are covered by public insurance. Moreover, providing educational programs that emphasize the effectiveness and significance of HPV vaccines to adults who can influence the vaccination decisions of adolescents is vital.
