This study aimed to determine knowledge and attitude of women to HPV and its association with cervical cancer and prevention methods. In a cross-sectional study, 500 women, aged between 20 and 50 presenting to local health centers in Tehran, were asked about demographic factors and questioned about cervical cancer, HPV, and prevention methods. Responses were tabulated and summarized. Although knowledge of HPV, its relation to cervical cancer and prevention methods among Iranian women is not enough, their attitude towards education in this regards is extremely high. The results reflect the need of advertising and educational programs for public about HPV prevention methods, to reduce the prevalence of this infection and its severe consequences.
本研究旨在确定女性对人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)的了解和态度,及其与宫颈癌的关联和预防方法。在一项横断面研究中,对500名年龄在20至50岁之间、前往德黑兰当地健康中心就诊的女性询问了人口统计学因素,并就宫颈癌、HPV和预防方法进行了提问。对回答进行了列表整理和总结。尽管伊朗女性对HPV及其与宫颈癌的关系和预防方法的了解不足,但她们在这方面对教育的态度非常积极。结果表明,需要针对公众开展关于HPV预防方法的宣传和教育项目,以降低这种感染的发生率及其严重后果。
