“…In Juraskova and collegious study (2011) conducted with psychology students, 45% were reported to have knowledge of HPV infection. In contrast to these studies, Cirilo et al (2010) found, in their study on nursing students, that 45% of first year students had knowledge of HPV infections, while 100% of the upper class students had knowledge of the disease (Cirilo et al, 2010;Juraskova et al, 2011). Similarly, in Greece study on midwives and midwifery students, a large percentage (90%) of the midwifery students were identified as having knowledge of HPV infection, while 58.6% were identified as having knowledge of the HPV vaccine (Dinas et al, 2009) According to the our and similar study findings (with a few exceptions), the level of knowledge among midwifery students HPV infection and HPV vaccination is insufficient.…”

Background Cervical cancer is a leading cause of death in U.S. women, with Hispanic women at higher risk of mortality than non-Hispanic white women. While the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine represents substantial progress towards cervical cancer prevention, little is currently known about Hispanic student’s beliefs regarding the HPV vaccine. Objective To assess the knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs of college students in the U.S.-Mexico border region following the release of the HPV vaccine for both males and females. Methods This survey was conducted using a convenience sample where participants were recruited from pre-nursing and nursing courses. The self-administered questionnaire ascertained HPV vaccination status, and knowledge and beliefs regarding the HPV vaccine. Results 202 male and female students responded. 28.9% of respondents reported having received the HPV vaccine. Of the non-vaccinated students under age 27, 27.3% Hispanic students reported an intention to receive the vaccine. Misinformation about HPV was common and among non-Hispanic white students was associated with intention to get vaccinated. Conclusions We found a relatively small proportion of unvaccinated Hispanic and non-Hispanic nursing students intending to be vaccinated for HPV. Findings indicate an intervention to increase vaccination rates among college-aged students may not be as straightforward as increasing knowledge of HPV. Implications for Practice Nurses are in a unique position to educate and recommend HPV to underserved patients. Thus, educating nursing students regarding HPV and the associated cancers is paramount if we are to encourage ethnic minorities to receive the HPV vaccine.

“…The performance of the students from the 1st year was lower than expected with an average of 9.9 correct answers, which may represent the low level of information acquired on the subject in elementary and high school which will only be addressed after the first year of graduate education (12) . Regarding the analysis of blocks of question, the block that had the highest percentage of correct totals in both classes was the "Benefits and Social Aspects" which are themes that have been already presented to students since the 1st year of the researched graduate course.…”
