尽管在 HPV 疫苗发布后，人们对人乳头瘤病毒 (HPV) 的认识有所提高，并且已“正常化”，但 HPV 感染（最常见的性传播感染 (STI)）对心理的社会影响绝不能被忽视。这项研究采用深度访谈 (N = 52) 和定量调查 (N = 154) 来评估接受异常子宫颈抹片检查结果的女性对 HPV 相关诊断的了解、情绪影响和行为后果。调查结果显示，人们对测试结果感到困惑，并出现了与耻辱、恐惧、自责、无力和愤怒相关的主题。 HPV 疫苗的推广不应混淆与 HPV 诊断相关的心理社会负担。
Despite an increased awareness and 'normalization' of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) following the release of the HPV vaccine, the psychosocial impact of an HPV infection, the most common sexually transmissible infection (STI), must not be overshadowed. This study employed in-depth interviews (N = 52) and quantitative surveys (N = 154) to assess the knowledge, emotional impact and behavioral consequences of an HPV-related diagnosis in women who had received abnormal Pap test results. Findings revealed confusion over test results and themes related to stigma, fear, self-blame, powerlessness and anger emerged. The promotion of the HPV vaccine should not obfuscate the psychosocial burden associated with an HPV diagnosis.
