“…When considered from this point of view, the opinions of both parents and adolescents are observed to be evaluated together for acceptability of HPV vaccines. In previous studies, factors affecting the decisions of parents and adolescents about HPV vaccination were determined as the price of the vaccines, worries about the low effectiveness and side effects, insufficient information about HPV infection and vaccines, and worries that it may increase risky sexual behaviors (Breitkopf et al, 2009;Madhivanan et al, 2009;Watts et al, 2009;Trim et al, 2012). As HPV is a sexually transmitted disease, the opinions about having their daughters vaccinated against HPV may be affected by socio-cultural factors (DiAngi et al, 2011).…”

“…While most parents have been reported to support vaccination against HPV in some studies (Di Giuseppe et al, 2008;Coleman et al, 2011). The rates of willingness to have their daughters vaccinated against HPV have been reported to be lower (Breitkopf et al, 2009;Waller et al, 2006;Kahn et al, 2009). In addition, it has been reported that there could be differences between mothers and fathers about having their daughters vacinated against HPV (Breitkopf et al, 2009).…”

Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the opinions of Turkish adolesecent girls and their parents about HPV vaccination and the consistency. Methods: This descriptive study covered 301 girls and their parents. Questionnares were developed by the researchers based on findings within the literature and applied for data collection. Results: The mean age was 19.4 for girls, 44.2 for mothers and 47.9 for fathers. It was found that 43.5 percent of girls and 31.9 percent of mothers wish to be vaccinated against HPV. Also, 45.5 percent of mothers and 44.9 percent of fathers wish for their daughters to be vaccinated against HPV. A moderate consistency was found between mothers and fathers; a low consistency was found between fathers and girls, and between mothers and girls. Conclusions: The study indicates that an appropriate background has been partially provided about the acceptability of the vaccine between parents and their daughters in Turkey. However, the vast majority of adolescent girls and parents are indecisive or reluctant about HPV vaccination. This study also showed that the decisions of adolescents about vaccination may be affected by the opinions of the parents.
