The purpose of the study was to assess knowledge of, perceived susceptibility to, perceived seriousness of, and risk behaviors regarding human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer among female nursing students.
A 40-item survey of HPV and cervical cancer was distributed to a convenience sample of 240 female nursing students enrolled in a baccalaureate nursing program.
Female nursing students participate in high-risk sexual behaviors and have a fairly low knowledge level, low perceived susceptibility, and low perceived seriousness regarding HPV and cervical cancer. Knowledge and perceived susceptibility were positively related to number of sexual partners. This may indicate that the women who engage in riskier behavior are more knowledgeable about HPV and their risk of contracting the disease.
Results indicate that all practitioners involved in the care of women should educate them about HPV and its relationship to cervical cancer. Education should include the need to use condoms to prevent HPV and other sexually transmitted diseases.
本研究旨在评估本科护理专业的女护生对人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）和宫颈癌的了解程度、感知易感性、感知严重性以及相关风险行为。
向参加本科护理课程的240名女护生组成的便利样本发放了一份包含40个项目的HPV和宫颈癌调查问卷。
女护生存在高风险性行为，对HPV和宫颈癌的了解程度相当低，感知易感性低，感知严重性也低。知识和感知易感性与性伴侣数量呈正相关。这可能表明，从事风险更高行为的女性对HPV及其感染风险的了解更多。
结果表明，所有参与女性护理工作的从业者都应向她们宣传HPV及其与宫颈癌的关系。教育内容应包括使用避孕套预防HPV和其他性传播疾病的必要性。
