Abstract

Objective: Since licensure of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, HPV vaccine coverage among Turkish adolescents has remained low compared with other recommended vaccines. The aim of this study was to determine parents awareness, knowledge, attitude and perceptions about HPV infection and HPV vaccine in Turkey. This information is crit ical to the development of approaches to optimise HPV vaccine uptake among this population group. Material and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out between September 2017 and February 2018. The study sample comprised of volunteering to the families of children aged 9-18 years that were evaluated at Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University Yenimahalle Training and Research Hospital Clinic of Pediatrics. A total of 1000 par ents participated in this study. The survey sought socio-demographic characteristics of their families, the level of knowledge about HPV infec tion and vaccination, attitudes and behaviors on vaccination practice. Results: 762 (76.2%) women and 268 (26.8%) men were included in this study. The mean age was 37.7 ± 6.4. 66% of the mothers were graduates of high school and university, while 80.2% of the fathers were graduates of high school and university. Only 269 (26.9%) of the parents had heard of HPV and 220 (22%) had heard of HPV vaccine. The most common source of information of parents was the print media organs. Only 55 (5.5%) of the parents reported that they were informed by pediatrician and family physician. Only 14 (1.4%) of the parents were vaccinated for HPV. Only two parents had their children get vaccinated against HPV.

Özet

Giriş: İnsan papilloma virüsü (HPV) aşısının ruhsatlandırılmasından bu yana, ülkemizde adölesanların HPV aşılanma oranları, önerilen diğer ücretli aşılara kıyasla daha düşük kalmıştır. Çalışmamızın amacı 9-18 yaş aralığındaki çocukların ebeveynlerinin HPV enfeksiyonu ve aşısı hak kında bilgi düzeyi, tutum ve davranışlarını öğrenmektir. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, ülkemizde HPV aşılanma oranlarını iyileştirmeye yönelik yak laşımların geliştirilmesi için önemlidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt Üniversitesi Yenimahalle Eği tim Araştırma Hastanesi Çocuk Polikliniklerine başvuran 9-18 yaş çocuk ların aileleriyle gönüllülük esas alınarak, anket çalışması şeklinde yürütül müştür. Ankette ailelelerin sosyo-demografik özellikleri, HPV enfeksiyonu ve aşısı hakkındaki bilgi düzeyleri, aşıyı uygulama konusundaki tutum ve davranışları sorgulanmıştır. Çalışmaya toplam 1000 ebeveyn katılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılanların 762 (%76.2)’si anne, 238 (%23.8)’i baba idi. Yaş ortalamaları 37.7 ± 6.4 idi. Annelerin 503 (%66)’ü lise ve üniversite mezunuyken, babaların 191 (%80.2)’i lise ve üniversite mezunudur. Ebe veynlerin yalnızca 269 (%26.9)’u HPV enfeksiyonu ve 207 (%20.7)’si HPV aşısı hakkında bir şeyler duymuş/okumuştu. Bilgi edinme kaynakları ara sında birinci sırada basın yayın organları, ikinci sırada ise hekimler vardı. Ebeveynlerin yalnızca 55 (%5.5)’i çocuk doktorundan ve aile hekiminden bilgi edindiğini belirtmiştir. Ebeveynlerden yalnızca 14 (%1.4)‘ü kendi sine HPV aşısı yaptırmıştı. Çocuğuna HPV aşısı yaptıran ebeveyn sayısı yalnızca ikiydi. Araştırmaya katılan ebeveynler HPV enfeksiyonu ve aşısı hakkında sınırlı bilgiye sahipti.
