“…Knowledge about HPV affects perceptions about health promotion for women who have HPV. Limited knowledge is an inhibitor to CC protective behavior (Bebiş, Güleşen, & Ortabağ, 2013; Blödt, Holmberg, Müller-Nordhorn, & Rieckmann, 2011; Fernández et al, 2009).…”

Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes morbidity and mortality worldwide. Evidence-based models addressing health for women who have HPV may prevent development of cervical cancer (CC). We applied Meleis' transition model to identify barriers and facilitators influencing CC protective behavior for women with HPV. Method: Descriptive, correlational design including nonprobabilistic sampling of women with HPV (N ¼ 201) in Mexico. Results: Variables linked to CC protective behavior (cervical cytology, stable partner, condom use, communication) included awareness of HPV/CC as well as attitude toward diagnosis and cytological control of HPV (l ¼ 890, F[196.00] ¼ 6.057, p ¼ .001). Acceptance of HPV diagnosis related to HPV carrier attitude, stigma, age, education, and length of HPV diagnosis (R 2 ¼ .155, F[5, 195] ¼ 8.34, p < .05). Knowledge of HPV, attitude toward HPV diagnosis/cytological control, and age had direct effects on self-efficacy for CC protective behavior (R 2 ¼ .239, F[7, 193] ¼ 9.95, p < .05). Coping with HPV diagnosis, self-efficacy for CC protective behavior, and age were also associated with CC protective behavior (R 2 ¼ 14.6, F[3.7] ¼ 12.39, p ¼ .001). Conclusions: Identification of factors inhibiting or facilitating transition among women who have HPV decrease progression to CC by increasing CC protective behaviors.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and awareness levels of 18-year-old and older women and men on HPV infection, HPV vaccine, and the potential risk factors in Hatay, Turkey. In our study, it was found that overall 27.0 and 23.2% of the participants reported having heard of HPV infection and HPV vaccine. The rate of participants who had heard of HPV infection and HPV vaccine was higher in women than in men (p < 0.000). Thirteen percent of the participants was aware of the fact that HPV triggers cervical cancer, 10.2% penile cancer, and 16.7% genital warts, respectively. The overall vaccination rate of the participants was 2.7%. When the total knowledge score of the participants about HPV infection and HPV vaccine was evaluated according to independent variables, it was found that being a woman, urbanization, and having a high level of education had a positive effect on knowledge score, while never having heard of HPV infection and HPV vaccine had a negative effect on knowledge score (p < 0.000). It was determined in the linear regression model that gender, educational status, residential area, and having heard of HPV infection before influenced knowledge levels. It was determined that the relation between these variables and the total knowledge scores of the participants was statistically significant (p < 0.05). It was also determined that women who had higher educational levels, those who were living in urban areas, and those who had heard HPV infection before had higher knowledge levels. The level of knowledge of the participants about HPV infection and HPV vaccine was found to be very low. Having adequate knowledge about HPV infection and increasing the acceptance of HPV vaccination in public will play an important role in decreasing the rate of mortality and morbidity of the different HPV-associated cancers in women and men.

Background The human papillomavirus (HPV) is responsible for 99.7% of cervix cancers worldwide. As this is a preventable and treatable cancer, if diagnosed early, it is important to explore not only young women’s related knowledge, but also their intentions for prevention activities, through a theoretical perspective. Objective To investigate the role of the Health Belief Model (HBM) and the Health Locus of Control theory (HLC) (social cognitive models) to act as potentially influencing factors for the prevention intentions among lyceum female students. Methods This cross-sectional study took place from January to May 2014, among 1129 female students, who attended lyceums in six islands of the Cyclades Region, Greece. Students filled-in a self-complementary questionnaire, after the necessary approval was provided by the relevant authorities. Results Intention to take the Pap smear was determined by student’s level of knowledge (p < 0.001) about Pap smears, their age (p = 0.004), HPV susceptibility (p < 0.001), subjective obstacles of taking the Pap smear (p < 0.001) and subjective benefits of the Pap smear (p < 0.001). The vaccination intention against HPV was influenced by the subjective benefit from vaccination (p < 0.001) and the level of knowledge of the vaccine (p < 0.001). Conclusions Knowledge, age and HBM variables were significantly associated with students’ intention for vaccination and screening on HPV. The study demonstrates the importance of raising awareness through specific education programmes in schools and theory-based tailored health programmes on HPV aspects (transmission, prevention, treatment) to increase the intention for prevention.
