The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to determine factors contributing to recommending vaccination to patients, using a self-administered anonymous questionnaire given to 345 nurses working at a tertiary hospital in South Africa. The average age of the participants was 37.2 years. About three-quarters (73.3%) of the nurses were aware of HPV and among them, 38.3% knew that HPV is the most common sexually transmitted virus. Nurses had poor knowledge regarding HPV infection and the HPV vaccine. The majority (90.9%) of the nurses intended to recommend the vaccine to their patients. The nurses who mentioned that adolescents and young adults would accept HPV vaccination were more likely to recommend HPV vaccination to their patients (OR = 57.78, p = 0.031). Nurses had a low level of knowledge regarding HPV infection and vaccines but they were willing to recommend the vaccines to their patients. Nurses need to be educated before implementing HPV vaccinations nationwide.
这项横断面研究的目的是，通过向南非一家三级医院的345名护士发放一份自行填写的匿名问卷，来确定促使向患者推荐接种疫苗的因素。参与者的平均年龄为37.2岁。约四分之三（73.3%）的护士知晓人乳头瘤病毒（HPV），其中38.3%知道HPV是最常见的性传播病毒。护士对HPV感染和HPV疫苗的了解不足。大多数（90.9%）护士打算向患者推荐该疫苗。提到青少年和年轻人会接受HPV疫苗接种的护士，更有可能向患者推荐HPV疫苗接种（比值比=57.78，p=0.031）。护士对HPV感染和疫苗的了解程度较低，但他们愿意向患者推荐这些疫苗。在全国实施HPV疫苗接种之前，需要对护士进行培训。
