The present study examined potential predictors of parents' willingness to vaccinate their children for human papillomavirus (HPV) and physicians' intentions to encourage parents to vaccinate their children, now that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a highly effective vaccine.
Parents (n=100) and physicians (n=100) were surveyed on-line in fall 2006, 4 months after the HPV vaccine, Gardasil, was approved by the FDA as a prophylactic vaccine for females ages 9-26 years.
Religiosity, perceiving their children as susceptible to HPV, and perceived negative consequences of HPV infection were significant predictors of parents' intent to vaccinate. Physician specialty and whether or not physicians would vaccinate their own children were significant predictors of physicians' intent to encourage parents to vaccinate their children.
Campaigns aimed at increasing HPV vaccination should focus on educating parents about children's susceptibility to and the potential negative consequences of HPV infection. Furthermore, because there is now a significant body of evidence indicating that pediatricians and gynecologists have high intentions to encourage parents to vaccinate their children, the focus should be placed on strengthening the intentions of physicians in other specialties who serve children and their parents.
本研究旨在探讨父母愿意为子女接种人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗的潜在预测因素，以及医生鼓励父母为子女接种疫苗的意愿，因为美国食品和药物管理局（FDA）已批准一种高效的 HPV 疫苗。
2006 年秋季，在 FDA 批准 HPV 疫苗 Gardasil 作为 9-26 岁女性预防性疫苗后 4 个月，对父母（n=100）和医生（n=100）进行了在线调查。
宗教信仰、认为子女易感染 HPV 以及 HPV 感染的潜在负面影响是父母接种意愿的重要预测因素。医生的专业和是否会为自己的孩子接种疫苗是医生鼓励父母为子女接种疫苗的意愿的重要预测因素。
旨在提高 HPV 疫苗接种率的宣传活动应重点教育家长了解儿童对 HPV 的易感性以及 HPV 感染的潜在负面影响。此外，由于现在有大量证据表明儿科医生和妇科医生有很高的意愿鼓励父母为子女接种疫苗，因此应将重点放在增强服务儿童及其家长的其他专业医生的意愿上。
