The researchers aimed to evaluate the knowledge and perceptions of first-year female nursing students about human papillomavirus (HPV), cervical cancer (CC), and HPV vaccination. The sample included 690 female nursing students from sampled universities between April and June 2015. Students were surveyed by using a pretested HPV and CC awareness questionnaire. More than half of the students (65.1%) answered questions incorrectly with a mean HPV knowledge score of 6.085 ± 3.38. The majority of students (82.6%) did not hear HPV vaccine. Only, 2.8% of the students had been vaccinated. A statistically significant relationship was found between HPV knowledge score and hearing about HPV vaccine ( = 28280.500, = .015), and believing HPV vaccine protectiveness ( = 14.153, = .001). This study highlights the lack of knowledge and low level of awareness about HPV, CC, and HPV vaccination among first-year nursing college students.
研究人员旨在评估一年级女护生对人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）、宫颈癌（CC）和 HPV 疫苗接种的知识和认知。该样本包括 2015 年 4 月至 6 月间来自抽样大学的 690 名女护生。通过使用预先测试的 HPV 和 CC 意识调查问卷对学生进行调查。超过一半的学生（65.1%）回答错误，平均 HPV 知识得分为 6.085 ± 3.38。大多数学生（82.6%）没有听说过 HPV 疫苗。只有 2.8%的学生接种过疫苗。HPV 知识得分与听说过 HPV 疫苗之间存在统计学显著关系（ = 28280.500， = .015），与相信 HPV 疫苗的保护力之间存在统计学显著关系（ = 14.153， = .001）。本研究强调了一年级护理学院学生对 HPV、CC 和 HPV 疫苗接种的知识缺乏和认识水平低。
