To evaluate the effect of education about human papilloma virus and its vaccine on awareness and attitude of healthcare workers and nursing students.
This was a quasi-experimental study.
The sample size was 250 (155 healthcare workers and 95 students), and both groups received educational intervention. Questionnaires were used to collect data before, after, and also 3 months following the intervention.
The mean age of participants was 30.1 ± 10.23 years. Results showed a significant increase in knowledge ( < .001), overall attitude ( = .000), and perceived behavior ( < .001) of the participants after the educational intervention.
Educational intervention was effective in knowledge, attitude, and behavior of students and healthcare workers.
Educational intervention can be one of the strategies to prevent individuals from acquiring the virus and to increase vaccine compliance.
