目的：确定荷兰年轻成年人是否听说过人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）以及他们是否会接受疫苗接种，并评估影响他们决定的因素。研究设计：横断面调查。方法：从两所大学的部门和一个非大学的技术colleages.Results招募了600名年龄在18 - 25岁的参与者：106（17.7%）的参与者听说过HPV和536（94%）听说过宫颈癌。女性对宫颈癌的认知程度明显高于男性。医学教育，HPV知识，宫颈癌知识和宫颈筛查计划的知识与接受HPV疫苗接种没有显着相关性，而性别和年龄确实显示出显着关系。总的来说，61%的女性参与者和48%的伴侣参与者愿意接受“追赶”HPV vaccination.Conclusions：这项研究发现，HPV和宫颈癌的平均知识水平低。尽管缺乏知识，但研究人群中的一小部分人会接受“追赶”HPV疫苗接种。女性和年轻参与者更愿意接受HPV疫苗接种。然而，在这些亚组中，接受HPV疫苗接种似乎受到其他尚未确定的因素的影响。这些因素可以在一个更定性的研究中进行评估。需要开展教育运动，宣传关于人乳头瘤病毒和宫颈癌的知识，以及与接受疫苗接种有关的信念和行为。(C)2008年，皇家公共卫生研究所。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
Objectives: To determine whether young Dutch adults had ever heard of human papillomavirus (HPV) and whether they would accept vaccination, and to assess the factors influencing their decision. Study design: Cross-sectional survey.Methods: Six hundred participants aged 18-25 years were recruited from two university departments and one non-university technical college.Results: One hundred and six (17.7%) participants had heard of HPV and 536 (94%) had heard of cervical carcinoma. Women had significantly more knowledge of cervical carcinoma than men. A medical education, knowledge of HPV, knowledge of cervical cancer and knowledge of the cervical screening programme were not significantly associated with acceptance of HPV vaccination, whereas gender and age did show a significant relationship. In total, 61% of the female participants and 48% of the mate participants were willing to accept a 'catch-up' HPV vaccination.Conclusions: This study found that average knowledge levels of HPV and cervical cancer were low. Despite this lack of knowledge, a small majority of the study population would accept a 'catch-up' HPV vaccination. Women and younger participants were significantly more willing to accept HPV vaccination. However, in these subgroups, acceptance of HPV vaccination seems to be affected by other, still unidentified, factors. These factors could be evaluated in a more qualitative orientated study. An educational campaign is needed to cover knowledge about HPV and cervical carcinoma, and beliefs and behaviours associated with the acceptance of vaccination.
