本研究以健康信念模型（HBM）和计划行为理论（TBP）为理论指导，探讨了大学年龄女性接种人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗意向的社会认知预测因素。问卷调查收集了来自中西部一所大学的143名女性的数据。在HBM变量中，对HPV的感知易感性、疫苗的感知益处和获得疫苗的自我效能是显著的预测因子。在TPB变量中，对疫苗的积极态度和相信重要的其他人会支持疫苗接种的信念预测了意图。一个包含所有HBM和TPB变量的模型解释了近60%的意图方差。理论比较表明，TPB比HBM更能预测意图。结果表明，针对个人对疫苗的信念，增加社会网络成员对疫苗的接受度，可能会增加大学年龄女性的疫苗接种意愿。
This study examined social-cognitive predictors of college-age women's intentions to obtain the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine using the Health Belief Model (HBM) and Theory of Planned Behavior (TBP) as theoretical guides. Questionnaire data were collected from 143 women at a Midwestern university. Among the HBM variables, perceived susceptibility to HPV, perceived benefits of the vaccine, and self-efficacy to obtain the vaccine were significant predictors. Among the TPB variables, positive attitudes toward the vaccine and beliefs that important others would support vaccination predicted intentions. A model with all HBM and TPB variables explained nearly 60% of the variance in intentions. Comparison of the theories suggests that the TPB is a better predictor of intentions than the HBM. Results suggest that targeting personal beliefs about the vaccine, and increasing acceptance for the vaccine among social network members, may increase vaccination intentions among college-age women.
