The goals of the present study are (1) to identify sociodemographic and psychosocial predictors of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related stigma and (2) to examine the relationship between HPV-related stigma in predicting HPV vaccine decision-making among college males.
Six hundred and eighty college males aged 18-26 from 3 Canadian universities were recruited from September 2013 to April 2014.
Participants completed a self-report survey assessing HPV-related stigma, psychosocial predictors of HPV-related stigma, and HPV vaccine decision-making. The results were analyzed using variance analyses and linear regressions.
Ethnicity, province of residence, and perceived severity of HPV were found to significantly influence HPV-related stigma. In addition, HPV-related stigma was higher in those unaware of the availability of the HPV vaccine for males.
Promotion efforts should concentrate on Asian minorities and should avoid HPV severity messaging, as these may lead to higher HPV-related stigma, which in turn may act as a barrier to vaccination.
本研究的目标是:(1)确定人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)相关污名的社会人口学和心理社会预测因素;(2)检验HPV相关污名在预测大学男性HPV疫苗决策中的关系。
2013年9月至2014年4月,从加拿大3所大学招募了680名年龄在18 - 26岁的大学男性。
参与者完成一项自我报告调查,评估HPV相关污名、HPV相关污名的心理社会预测因素以及HPV疫苗决策。结果采用方差分析和线性回归进行分析。
种族、居住省份以及对HPV严重程度的认知被发现显著影响HPV相关污名。此外,那些不知道有针对男性的HPV疫苗的人,其HPV相关污名更高。
推广工作应集中于亚洲少数群体,应避免传递HPV严重程度的信息,因为这些可能导致更高的HPV相关污名,进而可能成为接种疫苗的障碍。
