Objective: The aim is to investigate the knowledge, awareness, attitudes, and behaviors of mothers of children in terms of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, its association with cervical cancer, and HPV vaccination. It is estimated that cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women worldwide, and it is one of the most preventable diseases, according to World Health Organization reports.
