澳大利亚国家人类乳头瘤病毒(HPV)疫苗接种计划于2007年开始针对女孩,2013年开始针对男孩,使用四价HPV [4vHPV]疫苗。在澳大利亚,学生主要是在获得父母/监护人同意后,在学校接种疫苗。在接种疫苗之前,学生通常很少或根本没有在学校接受关于HPV或HPV疫苗接种的教育。对于年轻人在校外可以和应该从哪里获得有关疫苗的可靠信息,也存在一些不确定性。我们在学校进行了一项复杂干预的随机对照试验。本研究旨在提高:(1)学生对HPV疫苗接种的知识;(2)心理社会结果和(3)疫苗接种率。在本文中,我们简要概述了我们的教育干预,并讨论了它的实施,包括促进者和障碍的教育工作者。我们还讨论了有关学生对HPV和HPV疫苗接种的知识以及他们对控制和干预学校疫苗接种的态度的研究结果。研究结果表明,干预学校的学生对HPV和HPV疫苗接种有更好的了解和理解。更多的知识和了解HPV和HPV疫苗接种似乎促进了对疫苗接种的积极态度,并支持了对疫苗接种的信心。
The National Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccination Program in Australia commenced in 2007 for girls and in 2013 for boys, using the quadrivalent HPV [4vHPV] vaccine. In Australia, students are primarily vaccinated en masse, on school grounds, after parental/guardian consent is obtained. Students most often receive little, or no, education at school about HPV or HPV vaccination prior to immunisation. There is also some uncertainty about where young people can and should obtain reliable information about the vaccine, outside of school. We conducted a cluster randomised controlled trial of a complex intervention in schools. This study aimed to improve: (1) student knowledge about HPV vaccination; (2) psycho-social outcomes and (3) vaccination uptake. In this paper, we briefly outline our educational intervention and discuss its implementation by educators including facilitators and barriers. We also discuss the study findings pertaining to student knowledge about HPV and HPV vaccination and their attitudes to vaccination across control and intervention schools. Study results showed students in intervention schools demonstrate greater knowledge and understanding of HPV and HPV vaccination. Greater knowledge and understanding of HPV and HPV vaccination appeared to promote positive attitudes towards vaccination and supported confidence with vaccination.
