Genç Erişkinlerin Human Papilloma Virüs (HPV) ve HPV Aşısına İlişkin Bilgi ve Görüşleri: Kesitsel Bir Çalışma

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı genç erişkinlerin Human Papilloma Virüs (HPV) enfeksiyonu ve HPV aşısına ilişkin bilgi ve görüşlerini belirlemektir. Yöntem: Analitik kesitsel tipteki bu çalışma, 2020 yılının Ocak ve Nisan ayları arasında, İstanbul’da yaşayan 18-45 yaş aralığındaki 600 bireyle çevrim içi platformda kartopu yöntemi kullanılarak yapıldı. Çalışma verileri, araştırmacılar tarafından literatür doğrultusunda ve uzman görüşleri alınarak geliştirilen 55 soruluk veri toplama formu ile elde edildi. Araştırmada tanımlayıcı istatistikler; ortalama, standart sapma, sayı ve yüzde olarak hesaplandı. Kategorik değişkenlerin analizinde Pearson ki-kare testi yapıldı. Sonuçlar %95 güven aralığında anlamlılık p<0,05 düzeyinde değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 27,07±10,01 (min:18; max:45) idi. Katılımcıların %33,2’sinin HPV hakkında bilgisi yoktu, %75,8’i HPV’nin bulaşıcı bir enfeksiyon olduğunu, %68,4’ü HPV’nin kan yoluyla bulaşmadığını, %85,0’i cinsel yolla bulaştığını ve %81,6’sı fiziksel temas yoluyla bulaşmadığını bildiğini ifade etti. Katılımcıların %62,7’si HPV’nin kadınlarda serviks kanserine, %38,7’si ise penis kanserine neden olduğunu bildirdi. Katılımcıların %60,7’si HPV aşısını daha önce duymuş ve %1’i HPV aşısı yaptırmıştı. Human Papilloma Virüs, HPV’nin fiziksel temasla bulaşmaması durumu, HPV’nin serviks ve penis kanserine neden olma durumu, Pap smear, HPV aşısı ve HPV aşısının ücreti konularında kadınların erkeklerden daha fazla bilgiye sahip olduğu belirlendi. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada genç erişkinlerin HPV enfeksiyonu ve aşısı ile ilgili kısmen yeterli bilgiye sahip olduğu sonucu elde edilmiştir. Toplumun çok yaygın görülen bir cinsel yolla bulaşan enfeksiyon olan HPV enfeksiyonu ve aşısıyla ilgili farkındalığının oluşturulması sağlanmalıdır.

Knowledge and Attitude of Young Adults on HPV Infection and HPV Vaccine: A Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the knowledge and opinions of young adults on Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection and HPV vaccine. Methods: The analytical cross-sectional study was collected by snowballing online platform with 600 individuals between the ages of 18-45 living in Istanbul between January and April 2020. The study data were obtained by the 55-question data collection form developed by the researchers in line with the literature and taking expert opinions. Descriptive statistics in research; It was calculated as mean, standard deviation, number and percentage. Pearson's chi-square test was used for the analysis of categorical variables. The results were evaluated at a significance level of p <0.05 at a 95% confidence interval. Results: The mean age of the participants was 27.07 ± 10.01 (min: 18; max: 45). 33.2% of the participants did not know about HPV, 75.8% stated that HPV is a contagious infection, 68.4% HPV is not transmitted through blood, 85.0% is sexually transmitted and %81.6 of them stated that they knew that they were not transmitted through physical contact. 62.7% of the participants stated that HPV causes cervical cancer in women, and 38.7% of them penile cancer. 60.7% of the participants had heard of the HPV vaccine before and 1% had the HPV vaccine. It was determined that women have more information than men about the level of knowledge about Human Papilloma Virus, the state that HPV is not transmitted by physical contact, the state of HPV causing cervical and penile cancer, the level of knowledge about Pap smear, HPV vaccine and the cost of HPV vaccine. Conclusion: In this study, it was concluded that young adults partially have sufficient knowledge about HPV infection and vaccine. It should be ensured that the public's awareness about HPV infection and vaccine, which is a very common sexually transmitted infection, should be raised.
