It was determined that students (100.0%) received their HPV knowledge from their school education, (70.5%) did not receive information about the HPV vaccine, students (56.4%) were unaware that HPV was a risk factor for cervical cancer, (98.5%) did not get the HPV vaccine. The seriousness perception scores of those who had HPV knowledge beforehand were significantly higher than those who did not.

Bu araştırma, sağlık hizmetleri meslek yüksekokulu öğrencilerinin HPV ve aşısına ilişkin bilgi düzeylerini ve sağlık inançlarını belirlemek amacı ile planlanmıştır. Araştırma, tanımlayıcı tiptedir. Ağustos- Ekim 2020 tarihleri arasında bir devlet üniversitesinin sağlık yüksekokulunda yürütülmüştür ve 275 öğrenci katılmıştır. Araştırma verileri “Katılımcı Bilgi Formu” ve “Human Papilloma Virüs Enfeksiyonu ve Aşılamasına ilişkin Sağlık İnanç Modeli Ölçeği” ile toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler SPSS 24 programında frekans tabloları ve tanımlayıcı istatistikler kullanılarak yorumlanmıştır. Öğrencilerin tamamının (%100.0) HPV bilgisini okul eğitimlerinden aldığı, %70.5’inin HPV aşısı hakkında bilgi almadığı, %56.4’ünün HPV’nin serviks kanseri risk faktörü olduğunu bilmediği, %98.5’inin ise HPV aşısı yaptırmadığı belirlenmiştir. HPV ile ilgili bilgi sahibi olanların, bilgi sahibi olmayanlara göre ölçek puanlarının daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışmada öğrencilerin HPV ve aşısı ile ilgili bilgilerinin sınırlı olduğu bulunmuştur. Bu sonuçların öğrencilere HPV ile ilgili verilecek eğitim programlarının planlanmasına katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
