人乳头瘤病毒 (HPV) 疫苗接种是预防 HPV 相关癌症的成熟且成功的工具。然而，由于患者对安全问题犹豫不决，而且很少有机会与值得信赖的医疗保健提供者讨论疫苗，因此疫苗的使用率仍然很低。我们于 2021 年 3 月至 4 月对对抗疗法和整骨疗法医学生进行了一项关于 HPV 疫苗接种指南知识的全国横断面研究。分析旨在找出知识差距以及人口和学术知识的相关性。共有 718 名学生参与（回应率为 50.8%）。虽然 92.8% 的参与者确定了 HPV 与宫颈癌之间的联系，但 HPV 与阴道/外阴癌 (67.7%)、肛门癌 (63.3%) 和阴茎癌 (53.9%) 相关的比例较低。正确确定 HPV 疫苗接种年龄的参与者比例较低（33.3%），以及需要多少剂量才能获得全面保护（48.1%）。这项研究确定了医学生在 HPV 相关癌症和 HPV 疫苗接种指南培训中的具体知识差距。通过解决这些差距，我们可以提高 HPV 疫苗的接种率并降低 HPV 相关癌症的发病率。
Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is a well-established and successful tool for preventing HPV-related cancers. However, vaccine uptake remains low, influenced by patient hesitancy around safety concerns and little opportunity to discuss the vaccine with trusted healthcare providers. We conducted a national, cross-sectional study of allopathic and osteopathic medical students regarding knowledge of HPV vaccination guidelines March-April 2021. Analysis sought to identify gaps in knowledge as well as demographic and academic correlates of knowledge. A total of 718 students participated (response rate = 50.8%). While 92.8% of participants identified the connection between HPV and cervical cancer, lower percentages associated HPV with vaginal/vulvar (67.7%), anal (63.3%), and penile (53.9%) cancers. Low percentages of participants correctly identified age of HPV vaccine eligibility (33.3%) and how many doses are needed for full protection (48.1%). This study identifies specific knowledge gaps in medical students’ training on HPV-related cancers and HPV vaccination guidelines. Through addressing these gaps, we may improve HPV vaccine uptake and decrease the incidence of HPV-related cancers.
