General health implications of religiosity and spirituality on health have been associated with health promotion, so the purpose of this study was to examine the influence of religiosity and spirituality on rural parents' decision making to vaccinate their children against human papillomavirus (HPV). The associations of religiosity and spirituality with parental HPV vaccine decisions were examined in a sample of parents residing in small rural communities (N = 37). Parents of children aged 9 to 13 years participated in focus groups held in rural community contexts. Religiosity (i.e., participation in religious social structures) was a recurring and important theme when discussing HPV vaccination. Spirituality (i.e., subjective commitment to spiritual or religious beliefs) was found to influence the ways in which parents perceived their control over and coping with health issues potentially related to HPV vaccination. Together, religiosity and spirituality were found to play integral roles in these parents' lives and influenced their attitudes toward HPV vaccination uptake for their children.
宗教信仰和精神性对健康的总体影响与健康促进相关，因此本研究的目的是考察宗教信仰和精神性对农村父母为其子女接种人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗决策的影响。在居住于小型农村社区的父母样本（N = 37）中，考察了宗教信仰和精神性与父母HPV疫苗决策之间的关联。9至13岁儿童的父母参与了在农村社区环境中举行的焦点小组。在讨论HPV疫苗接种时，宗教信仰（即参与宗教社会结构）是一个反复出现的重要主题。精神性（即对精神或宗教信仰的主观承诺）被发现会影响父母对可能与HPV疫苗接种相关的健康问题的控制感和应对方式。宗教信仰和精神性共同在这些父母的生活中发挥着不可或缺的作用，并影响了他们对子女接种HPV疫苗的态度。
