关于影响最近开发的GardasilA(R)疫苗在年轻女性中的吸收模式的因素研究很少。通过电子问卷对18~24岁女生(n=1,975)的HPV相关知识、态度、信念和行为进行调查。平均HPV知识得分,满分为10分,为6.8分。知识得分与接种过疫苗呈弱正相关(r(1,976)=0.123,p<0.001)。父母建议、医生建议以及认为HPV严重和流行的后果与既往接种疫苗密切相关。数据表明,需要加强对疫苗的教育,以及医生建议在增加疫苗接种率方面的重要性。
Little research exists on the factors that affect the uptake patterns of the recently developed GardasilA (R) vaccine among young women. Human papillomavirus (HPV)-related knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors of 18-24-year-old female students (n = 1,975) were assessed via an electronic survey. Mean HPV knowledge score, on a 10-point scale, was 6.8. A weak positive correlation (r (1,976) = 0.123, p < 0.001) was found between knowledge score and having received the vaccine. Parent recommendation, doctor recommendation, and perceiving the consequences of HPV as severe and prevalent were strongly related to previous vaccination. Data suggest a need for increased education about the vaccine and the importance of physician recommendation in increasing vaccine uptake.
