Human papillomavirus (HPV) is transmitted through sexual contact and can cause cervical cancer. The aim of this study was to determine knowledge, behaviors, and attitudes about human papillomavirus (HPV) in nursing students in a baccalaureate program. This study was conducted with a sample of 624 students. Data were collected via questionnaires administered during the first class time. Students' knowledge about HPV was high; 90.5% knew HPV can cause cervical cancer; 94.6% recognized it as a sexually transmitted disease. Although; 87.7% stated a vaccine is available to protect women from HPV, nearly all participants (98.1%) had not received HPV vaccination. Findings show students' level of knowledge about HPV's risk factors and modes of transmission were high. However, this knowledge did not translate into engagement in health related behaviors such as being vaccinated against HPV.
人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）通过性接触传播，可引发宫颈癌。本研究旨在确定本科护理专业学生对人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）的知识、行为和态度。本研究以624名学生为样本进行。数据通过在第一节课时间发放问卷收集。学生对HPV的知识掌握程度较高；90.5%的学生知道HPV可导致宫颈癌；94.6%的学生将其认定为性传播疾病。尽管87.7%的学生表示有疫苗可预防女性感染HPV，但几乎所有参与者（98.1%）都未接种HPV疫苗。研究结果表明，学生对HPV危险因素和传播方式的知识水平较高。然而，这种知识并未转化为参与诸如接种HPV疫苗等与健康相关的行为。
