Abstract Background The objective of this study, the first of its kind in Kosovo, is to determine the level of Kosovo women’s knowledge and awareness of HPV infection, HPV vaccination, and its relation to cervical cancer. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted from July to October 2018 at the Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Hospital and University Clinical Service of Kosovo. Results Out of 800 questionnaires distributed, 645 were completed and returned (80.6%). Only 0.5% of women were vaccinated against HPV. The majority of respondents (66.4%) had no previous knowledge of HPV (human papillomavirus). Only 27.6% of respondents were aware that HPV is responsible for cervical cancer. About two-thirds (70.1%) of respondents had never heard of the HPV vaccine, and only 24% knew that the HPV vaccine can prevent cervical cancer. Conclusion The level of vaccination against HPV and the level of knowledge and awareness of HPV infection is extremely low. Higher education, younger age, and living in an urban area were favorable factors and correlated with awareness of HPV infection, vaccination against it, and its relation to cervical cancer. Based on this study, there is an immediate need for developing an educational program on HPV infection and the importance of HPV vaccination as a preventative measure against developing cervical cancer.

Abstract BackgroundCervical cancer (CC) is the most common gynecologic malignancy worldwide and the fourth most common cancer in women. Most cases of cervical cancer are attributed to Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Assessment of knowledge about cervical cancer and HPV vaccination is needed.Results504 students took part in the study. 42.3% of males and 57.7% of females. The mean knowledge score of students in our survey 21.4 ± 4.4 out of 34, which was categorized as a moderate level of knowledge regarding cervical cancer and HPV. Only 40.5% knew about the availability of HPV vaccine in Jordan, and 65.9% accept the idea that it is necessary to introduce HPV vaccine in schoolgirls in Jordan.ConclusionsThis study highlights inadequate knowledge about cervical cancer and its screening among medical students in Jordan. Despite the limited awareness about HPV vaccine among the study’s participants, there is a favorable opinion towards the introduction of the vaccine in school girls in Jordan. The data provide a benchmark on the level of knowledge about cervical cancer and awareness about HPV, which can be used to formulate an effective awareness program.

Abstract Background Cervical cancer is the third most common cancer affecting women around the world in which the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the one of the recognized causative agent affecting women health. In response to this health issue, the Malaysian government had officially implemented the HPV immunisation programme for secondary schoolchildren in 2010 at the age of 13 years old and above. The purpose of this study is to investigate the sociodemographic determinants of knowledge and attitude among students of Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) towards the HPV vaccination programme. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted using self-administered questionnaires, recruiting 374 UTAR’s students as the respondents by using convenience sampling method. Respondents were categorized as having good/poor level of knowledge and positive/negative attitude towards HPV vaccination. Results Over half of the respondents were females (64.5%) and the majority were aged 20 years old and below (55.8%). Generally, 54.7% of the total respondents had a high level of knowledge towards HPV vaccine while 57.5% of the total respondents showed a negative attitude towards HPV vaccine. Female respondents aged 20 years old and below showed good knowledge (56.4%) and a more positive attitude (55.8%) towards HPV vaccine. Students from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FMHS) exhibited higher knowledge (67.3%) and positive attitude (62.4%) as compared to the Faculty of Accountancy and Management (FAM) which showed only 32.7% of knowledge and 37.6% of positive attitude towards the HPV vaccination. Conclusion The majority of UTAR students possess good knowledge regarding HPV vaccination. Nonetheless, they demonstrated a negative attitude towards HPV vaccination, depicting the necessity to impart and further intensify the sense of health awareness among all students, especially among male students. The judicious use of social media apart from the conventional mass media should be an advantage as to enhance the practice of HPV vaccination among them and thereafter minimize the health and economic burdens of cervical cancer.

Background: Cervical cancer is preventable though human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination but yet the leading cause of death among women in developing countries including Nigeria. It is important to understand the level of awareness about HPV vaccine in developing the strategies for an effective intervention. Aim: The objectives of this study were to assess the knowledge and perception of HPV vaccine among women attending antenatal clinic in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using systematic sampling technique. A pretested, semistructured and interviewer administered questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge and perception of HPV vaccine. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 16 and χ2 statistics was used to test for association between variables at level of significance of 5%. Results: A total of 104 women were interviewed. The mean age of the respondents was 29.8±7.8 years. About 77.9% were married and 55.8% of the respondents had tertiary education. However, 41.0% had good knowledge of HPV infection, 30.7% had good knowledge cervical cancer and 39.4% had good knowledge of HPV vaccine. About 45.9% of the respondents had good perception of HPV vaccination as a preventive method for cervical cancer. Age, level of education, household size and level of income were significant factors that determined the level of knowledge of the respondents about HPV vaccine whereas age, occupation, settlement area and household size were the significant factors that determined the level of perception of the respondents about HPV vaccine. Conclusion: There is a very low level of knowledge and poor perception about human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine among this sample of women. Effective information, education and communication strategies are required to improve the level of knowledge and perception of these women with different educational levels and settlement areas about HPV vaccine.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection and is a causal factor for cervical cancer in virtually 100% cases. Despite the availability of highly effective vaccine against HPV, the burden of this dreaded disease remains high in our country. The aim of this study was to study the knowledge, attitude and practices on cervical cancer and HPV vaccine among adolescent girls of Eastern UP and to study the factors influencing knowledge, attitude and practices towards HPV vaccination among adolescent girls of this region.Methods: This was a questionnaire based cross-sectional study. Purposive sampling was used. Sample consisted of adolescent girls attending Gynecological OPD of a tertiary care center of Eastern UP, for a period of one year and the sample size was 384.Results: The results showed that, only 8.07% participants had heard of HPV infection and 2.08% participants had HPV vaccine knowledge. 35.95% participants agreed that their parents would pay for vaccine and 79.17% participants agreed for vaccination, if it would be free of cost. In total, most of the participants in the sample were found to have a positive attitude towards the vaccine.Conclusions: Although the knowledge and awareness of cervical cancer and its prevention through HPV vaccination, was poor among adolescent girls of Eastern UP region, it was encouraging to find, that most of them had a positive attitude towards HPV vaccination. It was also concluded, that the acceptability would increase, if the Government includes HPV vaccination in the National Immunization Program. If the cost constraint is dealt with, this completely preventable disease could be controlled in our country.

Abstract Background Nurses and midwives play important roles in educating the public on cervical cancer prevention strategies. Aim This study sought to assess nurses’ and midwives’ knowledge of, attitudes towards, and acceptance of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in relation to their background characteristics. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional study using questionnaires was conducted with a convenience sample of 318 female nurses and midwives, ages 20 to 59, at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Ghana. The data were summarised using frequencies, percentages, chi-square tests, and Fisher’s exact tests. Results The results indicated that 41.5% (n = 132) of the participants had high levels of knowledge about cervical cancer risk factors, and 17.6% (n = 56) of the respondents had received at least one dose of the HPV vaccine. Reasons for receiving the HPV vaccination included advice from a colleague (12.9%, n = 41) and perceived threat of cervical cancer (11.7%, n = 37). Of the 262 respondents who had not been vaccinated, 24.45% (n = 78) strongly agreed and 28.0% (n = 89) agreed with the statement that there was limited information on HPV vaccination. Also, there were statistically significant associations between age (X2 = 23.746, p = 0.001), marital status (X2 = 14.758, p = 0.005), completed level of education (X2 = 21.692, p = 0.001), and duration of working at the hospital (X2 = 8.424, p = 0.038) and acceptance of HPV vaccination. Conclusions This study demonstrated gaps in knowledge about cervical cancer risk factors and attitudes towards HPV vaccination, indicating the need for targeted measures to improve knowledge and attitudes. Also, measures to increase acceptance of HPV vaccination among nurses and midwives should consider their sociodemographic characteristics.

Cervical cancer rates in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are amongst the highest worldwide. All three of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines (9-valent, quadrivalent and bivalent HPV vaccine) provide primary protection against the most common cancer-causing strains of HPV (types 16 and 18) that are known to cause 70% of cervical cancers. Over the last five years, there has been an increase in Sub-Saharan African countries that have introduced the HPV vaccine. The majority of research has been conducted on supply-side barriers and facilitators to HPV vaccination uptake in SSA, yet little research has been conducted on demand-side or end-user perspectives of, and decisions around, HPV vaccination. In order to complement existing research, and inform current and future HPV vaccination implementation approaches, this qualitative systematic review explored Stakeholders’ understandings of HPV vaccination in SSA. This review searched the following databases: Embase (via Scopus), Scopus, MEDLINE (via PubMed), PubMed, EBSCOhost, Academic Search Premier, Africa-Wide Information, CINAHL, PsycARTICLES, PsycINFO, SocINDEX, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials (CENTRAL) and found a total of 259 articles. Thirty-one studies were found eligible for inclusion and were analyzed thematically using Braun and Clarke’s methods for conducting a thematic analysis. The quality of included studies was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklist. Three major themes emerged from this analysis; knowledge of HPV vaccination and cervical cancer is intertwined with misinformation; fear has shaped contradictory perceptions about HPV vaccination and gender dynamics are relevant in how stakeholders understand HPV vaccination in SSA.
