BACKGROUND
There is no Government endorsed HPV vaccine immunisation program in Nigeria. The Vaccine has been available at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) in Benin City for more than 7 years.
OBJECTIVES
The aim was to evaluate awareness about HPV, the prevalence of HPV immunisation and its associated factors among the study population.
METHODS
A cross-sectional study using interviewer-administered questionnaires among 215 females attending secondary schools in Benin city, Nigeria. Participants were selected using multi-stage stratified sampling. The primary outcome measure was HPV immunisation of the girls.
RESULTS
The majority of the participants were between 14 to 18 years (58.6%). Almost all the participants (>97%) had not heard of HPV, HPV Vaccines and Cervical cancer. In addition, 2 (0.9%) persons correctly identified that the virus can be transmitted sexually while only 1 person (0.5%) had received the HPV vaccine. The respondents all agreed that they needed to be enlightened about HPV, HPV vaccines and Cervical cancer. Majority (49.3%) of the girls suggested that this could be done through the mass media (49.3%) or their parents (32.1%).
CONCLUSION
HPV immunisation, knowledge of HPV vaccines and Cervical cancer among the study population was very low. We recommend interventions in Schools to increase knowledge about cervical cancer and HPV vaccines.
背景
尼日利亚没有政府认可的 HPV 疫苗免疫接种计划。这种疫苗在贝宁市的贝宁大学教学医院（UBTH）已经供应了 7 年多。
目的
旨在评估研究人群对 HPV 的认识、HPV 免疫接种的流行情况及其相关因素。
方法
这是一项在尼日利亚贝宁市的中学里，通过访谈者管理的问卷进行的横断面研究，共对 215 名女性进行了调查。采用多阶段分层抽样选择参与者。主要的结果衡量指标是女孩的 HPV 免疫接种情况。
结果
大多数参与者的年龄在 14 至 18 岁之间（58.6%）。几乎所有的参与者（>97%）都没有听说过 HPV、HPV 疫苗和宫颈癌。此外，仅有 2 人（0.9%）正确地识别出该病毒可以通过性传播，只有 1 人（0.5%）接种了 HPV 疫苗。受访者都认为他们需要了解 HPV、HPV 疫苗和宫颈癌。大多数女孩（49.3%）建议可以通过大众媒体（49.3%）或父母（32.1%）进行宣传。
结论
在研究人群中，HPV 免疫接种、HPV 疫苗和宫颈癌的知识非常低。我们建议在学校开展干预措施，以提高对宫颈癌和 HPV 疫苗的认识。
