Determination of Knowledge Level of Patients Regarding HPV and HPV Vaccine in Outpatient Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology Department

Abstract

To determine the knowledge level of patients in our outpatient clinics regarding Human Papilloma Virus and HPV vaccine, 336 patients over 18 years old who admitted to outpatient clinics of our department between January and March 2011 and volunteered to participate were surveyed with a questionnaire inquiring sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge, opinions and attitudes about the HPV, Pap smear, cervical cancer and HPV vaccine. Among participants 86,6% are aware of the cervical cancer, 51,8% know the pap smear. 37,8% of patient declared that the source of their knowledge were the television programs. Inquiring the opinions and attitudes of the participants, 46,1% had no idea about sexual transmission of HPV, 55,4% were unaware of the presence of the HPV vaccine. There was statistically significant correlation between groups who have idea about pap smear and who know HPV (p<0,001) and HPV vaccine (p<0,001). These data suggest that the knowledge level of patients about HPV and screening and prevention of HPV-born genital diseases is not satisfactory..
