Abstract

|
|
Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the factors predicting HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) vaccination practices among female college students.
Methods: A convenience sample of 207 female students attending four universities in one metropolitan city participated. Self-report questionnaires consisted of general characteristics, characteristics related prevention of cervical cancer, knowledge of HPV, knowledge of cervical cancer vaccination, and health beliefs related to HPV vaccination. Data were analyzed by x2 test, independent t-test, and bivariate logistic regression.
Results: Factors predicting HPV vaccination practices were information about HPV (OR=3.37), experi-ence of HPV test (OR=12.71), and health beliefs related to HPV vaccination (OR=1.13).
Conclusion: In order to in-crease the practice rate of HPV vaccination, it is necessary to provide simple key information that is easy to under-stand, rather than expert knowledge about HPV. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a way for college students to get information about virus easily. It is necessary to intervene integrally with the facilitation factor and obstacle factor of vaccination practice.
