Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate knowledge of cervical cancer, HPV and intention for vaccination in Korean soldiers on active duty.
Methods: Participants were 494 army men aged 18 to 26 serving in D area. Knowledge of cervical cancer was measured using the 8 item scale developed by Han et al. (2007) and knowledge of HPV was measured using the 13 item scale developed by Pitts et al. (2009). Collected data were analyzed with t-test, x2-test, and ANOVA.
Results: Mean scores for cervical cancer and HPV knowledge were 6.03±1.52 and 8.15±1.75 respectively and vaccination intention was 75.6%. HPV vaccination intention had significant differences depending on knowledge about cervical cancer (χ2=12.76, p=.001), and HPV (χ2=9.00, p=.003), education (χ2=12.24, p=.002), sexual intercourse after first meeting (χ2=11.79, p=.003), and sexual education in the military service (χ2=12.27, p=.001).
Conclusion: When planning education program for men in military service, it is necessary to consider include content to increase knowledge of cervical cancer and HPV.
