Birinci Basamağa Başvuran Doğurganlık Çağındaki Kadınların Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) ve HPV Aşısı Hakkındaki Bilgi Düzeyleri

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı doğurganlık çağındaki kadınların HPV ve HPV aşısı hakkındaki farkındalık ve bilgi düzeylerini ortaya çıkarmaktır. Materyal ve Metod: Çalışmaya 15-49 yaş aralığındaki 294 kadın dahil edildi. Yazarlar tarafından literatür taranarak hazırlanan anket formunun doldurulması istendi. Bulgular: Katılımcıların ortalama yaşı 30.5±8.9 idi. Yalnızca %24.5'i HPV enfeksiyonundan, %28.2'si ise HPV aşısından haberdardı. Katılımcılardan 188'i bilgi sorularından sıfır puan aldı. Sonuç: Bu çalışma birinci basamağa başvuran kadınların düşük bilgi düzeyinde olduklarını , bireysel ve toplumsal eğitimin gerekliliğini göstermiştir. Birinci basamak sağlık politikalarında hasta eğitimine önem verilmesi toplumun bilgi ve farkındalık düzeylerini artıracak ve kanser insidansının düşmesini sağlayacaktır.

Knowledge about Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and HPV Vaccine at Reproductive Age in Primary Care

Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the knowledge and awareness about human papilloma virus (HPV) and human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine of women in reproductive age. Material and Methods: The study covered 294 women aged between 15 and 49. A questionnaire was prepared by the researchers based on the literature review. Results: The mean age of the participants was 30.5±8.9 years. Only 24.5% had heard about HPV infection and 28.2% had heard HPV vaccine. Of the participants, 188 (63.9%) got zero point from the knowledge questions. Conclusion: This study indicates that the women who apply primary care units have low knowledge levels; it is apperent that personal and social education is needed. Paying importance to patient education on HPV and cervical cancer in primary care health politics will increase knowledge and awareness for HPV infection and HPV vaccination.
