“…HPV prevalence was reported between 2.1 and 6.1% among the low risk women in Turkey previously [Ö zçelik et al, 2003;Ö ztü rk et al, 2004;Inal et al, 2007], but in newer studies HPV positivity rates were in agreement with the rates reported in this study [Dursun et al, 2009;Dinc et al, 2010;Eren et al, 2010]. The high-HPV DNA positivity rate documented in the present study might be due to the diagnostic method that has been applied.…”

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the commonest sexually transmitted infection, which is associated with various clinical conditions, ranging from asymptomatic infection to malignant disease of the cervix. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and genotypic distribution of HPV in women with cervical erosion and to compare the results with those in women with a clinically normal cervix. A further aim was to establish the association between HPV infection and cervical cytology results in women with and without cervical erosion. Cervical samples were collected by liquid-based method and consecutively evaluated for the presence of HPV DNA and for cervical cytology. HPV DNA was tested by a nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and typed by reverse dot blot genotyping. Cytological classification was made according to Bethesda 2001 criteria. The overall HPV prevalence was 16.9%; HPV DNA was positive in 20.2% of women with cervical erosion and 12.8% in women with normal cervix (P < 0.05). Multiple infections were found in 34.1% of the HPV-positive women. Commonest types were HPV 18 (32.9%), HPV 16 (29.5%), HPV 54 (20.5%), and HPV 6 (17%). Cervical cytology results were abnormal for 5.2% of women with cervical erosion and for 1.3% with clinically normal cervix (P < 0.05). This study detected a high prevalence of HPV infection in women with cervical erosion compared to women with a normal cervix. This data may contribute to the HPV epidemiology in the southeastern Turkey. It is recommended that women with cervical erosion should be given priority in HPV screening programs.

“…Cervical cancer has a long preinvasive phase, as the conservative nature of our culture changes, premarital sexual contact and polygamy becomes more common, the prevalence of HPV will certainly increase to the rates reported worldwide. 13 In this survey females had significantly more knowledge about HPV and smear test. Also SOM performed better than the other two groups when the items about HPV were considered, but SON answered the questions about smear test more correctly.…”

“…The prevalence of HPV infection in hospital based investigations in low-risk Turkish women was reported as 2%, 10 but a hospital looking after women with a high level of education reported a prevalence of 16%, 13 in Turkey better education and income are associated with more promiscuous sexual attitudes. Cervical cancer has a long preinvasive phase, as the conservative nature of our culture changes, premarital sexual contact and polygamy becomes more common, the prevalence of HPV will certainly increase to the rates reported worldwide.…”

ÖZETAmaç: Sağlık çalışanlarının halkı bilgilendirmedeki etkin rolü göz önüne alındığında hemşirelik öğrencileri, tıp öğrencileri ve hemşirelerin serviks kanseri, HPV ve HPV aşıları hakkındaki bilinç düzeyinin tespit edilmesini ve bilinçlendirme ihtiyacının araştırılmasını amaçladık ve İstanbul Bilim Üniversitesi öğrencileri ve afiliye hastanelerdeki sağlık çalışanlarının HPV ve serviks kanseri hakkındaki bilgilerini değerlendirdik. Gereç ve yöntem:Sağlık personeli, toplumu bilgilendirme ve yönlendirme yaptığı için, anket, tıp fakültesi ilk 3 yıl öğrencilerine, hemşirelik öğrencilerine ve hemşirelere yapıldı. Dördüncü sınıftan itibaren jinekoloji derslerinin başlamasıyla birlikte bilinç yerini bilgiye bıraktığı için sadece ilk üç yıldaki tıp öğrencileri seçilmiştir. Anket sorularını cevaplandırması istenen 743 katılımcının 603 tanesi (% 81,2) anketimizi cevaplamayı kabul etti. Daha sonra kimlik bilgisi istenmeyen anketler değerlendirmeye alındı. Bulgular:Hemşireler ve hemşirelik öğrencileri, tıp fakültesi öğrencileri (ilk 3 yıl) ve diğer sağlık çalışanlarıyla kıyaslandığında smear test konusunda daha bilgiliydiler. Katılımcıların sadece %52'si kızlarının aşılanmasına itiraz etmeyeceğini beyan etti. Aşıyı kabul etmeyenlerin kabul etmeme gerekçeleri aşının güvenirliliği hakkındaki endişeler (% 41), aşının maliyeti (%10) ve aşılanmadan sonra cinsel ilişki serbestisinin onaylanması fikri (%5) idi. Dini konular engel olarak değerlendirilmedi.Sonuç: HPV, serviks kanseri ve HPV aşıları hakkındaki farkındalığın artırılması gerekmektedir.Anahtar kelimeler: HPV, HPV aşıları, serviks kanseri, bilinç düzeyi ABSTRACT Objectives: Establishment of the knowledge and the need to make conscious in medicine students, nursing students and nurses due to the effective role of updating conscious of the health workers, we aimed to assess the knowledge of nurses and students of İstanbul Bilim University and affiliated hospitals about HPV and cervical cancer. Materials and methods:Because healthcare personnel illuminate and influences the public, the survey was conducted to medicine students of the first three years, nursing students and nurses. The reason of choosing the first three years of medicine students is with the begining of the gynecology courses at the 4th year of education in medical faculty, learning takes the place of awareness. Totally 743 participants were asked to survey but 603 subjects responded (81.2%) then the surveys that was not asked for the identity information were taken into consideration Results: Nurses and students of nursing had better knowledge about smear test when compared to students of medicine (first 3 years) and other healthcare personnel. Only 52% accepted to get a daughter vaccinated. The main reasons for vaccine rejection were the concerns about vaccine safety (41%), cost of the vaccine (10%) and sexual promiscuity (5%) after vaccination. Religious aspects were not considered as an obstacle. Conclusions:The awareness of HPV, cervical cancer and HPV vaccination should be increased. J Clin Exp Invest ...

Prevalence of HPV infection by cytologic diagnosis and HPV DNA extraction and prevalence of the HPV genotypes detected in urban Turkish women

Abstract: HPV infection involved numerous types, most of them high risk, even in women with negative cytology results. Further studies with larger groups will provide more information on HPV distribution in Turkey, which may guide the development of local vaccination programs.
