ARE WOMEN AWARE OF THE VACCINE AGAINST HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS? A HOSPITAL-FOCUSED CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY

Abstract

Objective Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the causative agent of cervical cancer. However, the disease can be prevented by vaccination. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the level of knowledge about HPV vaccination among women who applied to gynecology outpatient clinics in Kars, Turkey. Materials and Methods This cross-sectional study included women who were admitted to the gynecology outpatient clinics of Kars Harakani State Hospital in December 2020. Overall, 380 women were included in the study, and they were asked if they knew about the existence of the HPV vaccine. Results We observed that the risk of being uninformed about the HPV vaccine increased by 4.013 times in women aged <34 years, by 8.640 times in households with insufficient income, and by 3.375 times in women with education of ≤8 years. Conclusion Based on the findings, it could be concluded that the level of knowledge about the availability of HPV vaccine against cervical cancer is insufficient.
