To explore the experience and attitudes of physicians in clinics, and to facilitate physicians' promotion of HPV vaccination.
Primary data collected from conducting semi-structural in-depth interviews from May to June 2010 with 12 physicians in one district in Hong Kong to understand their experience of providing HPV vaccines, the difficulties in promoting HPV vaccines, and their attitudes towards HPV vaccination.
Physicians identified 4 categories of factors related to their experiences of and attitudes to providing HPV vaccination: (a) background information on HPV vaccination provided by physicians, (b) factors influencing women to receive vaccination, (c) physicians' recommendations to the public on HPV vaccines, and (d) physicians' perspectives on HPV vaccine promotion.
Our findings show that public knowledge on HPV and cervical cancer is insufficient and the role of government in vaccine promotion is unclear. Promotion strategies such as physicians' recommendation, financial assistance and health education provided by the government will influence HPV vaccination and its promotion.
探讨临床医生的经验和态度，促进医生对人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗接种的推广。
2010年5月至6月对香港某一区的12名医生进行半结构化深度访谈收集的原始数据，以了解他们提供HPV疫苗的经验、推广HPV疫苗的困难以及他们对HPV疫苗接种的态度。
医生们确定了与他们提供HPV疫苗接种的经验和态度相关的4类因素：（a）医生提供的HPV疫苗接种背景信息，（b）影响女性接种疫苗的因素，（c）医生向公众推荐HPV疫苗，以及（d）医生对HPV疫苗推广的看法。
我们的研究结果表明，公众对HPV和宫颈癌的了解不足，政府在疫苗推广中的作用不明确。医生推荐、政府提供的财政援助和健康教育等推广策略将影响HPV疫苗接种及其推广。
