To determine men's attitudes toward receiving the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.
Five hundred seventy-one men read a 1-page informational sheet about HPV and the HPV vaccine before completing a 29-item questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were calculated on all variables.
Of these men, 33% wanted to receive the HPV vaccine, 27% did not, and 40% were undecided. The main reasons for wanting the vaccine included a desire to stay healthy (67.4%); prevention of cancer in my sexual partner(s) (52.9%); prevention of anal, penile, and head and neck cancer (41.0%); fear of cancer (33.4%); and prevention of genital warts (32.8%). Being in a monogamous relationship and not at risk (18.9%), not interested (13.8%), and not enough evidence yet to prove that it will help men (8.2%) were the main reasons for not wanting to be vaccinated.
Although many men want to receive the HPV vaccine, more remain undecided. Pending favorable safety and efficacy results from a clinical trial for men, substantial factual education will likely convince many ambivalent men to receive the HPV vaccine.
确定男性对接种人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)疫苗的态度。
571名男性在完成一份包含29个项目的问卷之前,阅读了一份关于HPV和HPV疫苗的1页信息单。对所有变量进行描述性统计分析。
在这些男性中,33%希望接种HPV疫苗,27%不希望接种,40%未决定。希望接种疫苗的主要原因包括希望保持健康(67.4%);预防性伴侣患癌症(52.9%);预防肛门癌、阴茎癌以及头颈癌(41.0%);害怕患癌症(33.4%);预防尖锐湿疣(32.8%)。处于一夫一妻制关系且无风险(18.9%)、不感兴趣(13.8%)以及尚无足够证据证明其对男性有帮助(8.2%)是不希望接种疫苗的主要原因。
尽管许多男性希望接种HPV疫苗,但仍有更多人未决定。在男性临床试验获得良好的安全性和有效性结果之前,大量的事实教育可能会说服许多犹豫不决的男性接种HPV疫苗。
