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.
