“…The intention to recommend the vaccination for respondents’ students among Korean school health teachers was 5.29 out of 10 [ 27 ]. The rate of receiving vaccination recommendations from healthcare providers was 22.1% [ 13 ] and 13.13% [ 31 ] ( Table 2 ).…”

“…The literature has shown KAs had limited HPV awareness compared to Vietnamese and Filipino Americans [ 10 ] and limited HPV knowledge [ 11 ]. Most KAs do not even know that HPV is an STI [ 12 ], and 28% of KA students had never heard of HPV before [ 13 ]. Moreover, some KAs do not know HPV can cause cervical cancer [ 14 ], while some KAs are more familiar with the term ‘cervical cancer vaccine’ than HPV vaccine [ 13 ].…”

Koreans and Korean Americans (KAs) have limited HPV knowledge and awareness. KAs share a culture with Koreans, and this culture has affected their behavior around HPV. This systematic review aimed to synthesize the factors associated with HPV vaccination among Koreans and KAs. The literature search was done with four databases. The vaccination rate, awareness and knowledge of HPV, and factors associated with vaccination intention were identified. Eighteen articles were selected. Koreans and KAs had low levels of HPV knowledge and awareness. Perceived benefits and seriousness were associated with vaccination intention. Cervical cancer history, beliefs that their daughters need a pap smear test, sexual intercourse experiences, occupation, low education, and income were associated with vaccination intention. This systematic review discovered that HPV vaccination behavior is associated with HPV vaccine awareness, perceived benefits of the vaccine, and the perceived seriousness of HPV infection among Koreans and KAs. Based on the results, we suggest healthcare providers provide a HPV vaccine recommendation by emphasizing the benefits of the vaccination to Koreans and KAs. This study can be the basis for developing interventions to increase HPV vaccination by guiding the target population and variables, as well as the intervention content.

“…This is in line with a study on Korean American college women from six states in the Northeastern region, we found that most were not aware of the HPV vaccine and had low knowledge of HPV, HPV vaccine, and cervical cancer. 33 A crosssectional study in Hong Kong, China showed that the mean percentage of correct answers to questions about HPV was only 52.7%. 34 In this study, being rural residences were 88% less likely to practice HPV vaccination than an urban residence, the possible justification might be poor message delivery system of the responsible body and lack of awareness by the students, which also might be due to less vaccine availability in the rural area.…”

Background: Human papillomavirus infection, a causative factor for cervical cancer, remains a topic of great interest. About 80% of sexually active women are at risk of acquiring HPV infection while having a 70% global target to eliminate intensive cervical cancer.Objective: This study aimed to assess the practice of human papillomavirus vaccination and associated factors among primary school female students in Minjar-Shenkora district, 2020. Methods: A school-based quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted from February 1 to 30 2020, in primary school female students of Minjar-Shenkora district, North Shoa zone, Ethiopia. A structured self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection. Associations between dependent and independent variables tested in binary and multiple logistic regression and variables with p-value ≤0.25 were entered into multiple logistic regression with considered significant level of P-value ≤0.05 and at 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: A total of 591 students participated in the study with a response rate of 96.3%. Of the total, 393 (66.5%) (CI 0.63-0.7) participants have been vaccinated for HPV. The factors associated with the practice of vaccination were; being knowledgeable about HPV vaccination (AOR, 8.65, CI=5.2-14.3) and a positive attitude towards HPV vaccination (AOR, 1.85, CI=1.18-3). Students in rural areas were 88% less likely to practice HPV vaccine than students in urban areas (AOR, 0.12, CI=0.07 0.21). Conclusion and Recommendation:Overall, HPV vaccination practice was relatively good (66.5%). Knowledge on HPV vaccination, positive attitude towards HPV vaccination, and being a rural residence were associated with HPV vaccination practice. Families, healthcare workers, and schools should work together to improve the knowledge and attitude of the community towards HPV vaccination.
