Abstract

Human papilloma virus (HPV) infection, which is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases, is a public health problem for our country as well as all over the world. Awareness of young people, especially health care workers, needs to be increased in this regard. For this purpose, in our study, we planned this survey study in which the students of Vocational School of Health Services were included in order to determine the situation. In our study, 49.1 % of the participants stated that they were aware of HPV infection, 52.7 % of them stated that they had not heard of the HPV vaccine. The most correctly answered questions were that HPV can cause genital warts and cervical cancer. However, in general, correct response rates did not exceed 50 %. As a result, in our study, HPV awareness and vaccination rates were found to be at a very low level compared to the publications in both our country and international literature. There is a need for studies in order to raise awareness on this subject, especially educational activities.

Abstract

Cinsel temasla sık bulaşan hastalıklardan biri de Human papilloma virus (HPV) enfeksiyonu olup, tüm dünyada olduğu gibi ülkemiz için de önemli bir halk sağlığı problemidir. Bu konuda sağlık çalışanları başta olmak üzere gençlerin farkındalığının artırılması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışma, durum tespiti yapmak amacıyla Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksek Okulu öğrencilerinin Human papilloma virus (HPV) konusunda bilgi, tutum ve davranışlarını ölçmek amacıyla planlanmıştır. Çalışma, araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulmuş anket formu ile yapılmıştır. Çalışmamızda katılımcıların % 49,1’i HPV enfeksiyonundan haberdar olduğunu, % 52,7’si HPV aşısını duymadığını ifade etmiştir. En fazla doğru yanıtlanan sorular; HPV’nin genital siğil ve serviks kanserine neden olabileceğidir. Ancak, genel anlamda doğru yanıt oranları % 50’nin üzerine çıkmamıştır. Sonuç olarak çalışmamızda HPV farkındalığı ve aşılanma oranları, gerek ülkemizdeki gerekse uluslararası literatürdeki yayınlara bakıldığında oldukça düşük düzeyde saptanmıştır. Bu konuda eğitim faaliyetleri başta olmak üzere farkındalığın arttırılması amacıyla çalışmalara ihtiyaç olduğu görülmüştür.
