To describe rates and identify factors associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination among young adult males in college/university settings.
Study was reported according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Five electronic databases were searched for empirical studies published between 2009 and 2019 and focused on predictors for HPV vaccine uptake. Studies' methodological quality scores ranged between 12 and 23 points.
Five hundred and ninety eight titles/abstracts and 154 full-text articles were screened. Eighteen studies were included for final analysis. Results depicted participants' attitude, perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, and barriers in receiving HPV vaccine. Many participants did not perceive themselves to be susceptible to HPV infection, and barriers to receiving HPV vaccine outweighed benefits. HPV knowledge and vaccination rates were relatively low among respondents.
Prevention campaigns that increase knowledge, promote positive attitudes, change perception of susceptibility, and address barriers may result in higher HPV vaccination rates among males in college/university settings.
描述大学生群体中年轻男性接种人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)疫苗的比率,并确定相关影响因素。
本研究根据系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目进行报告。检索了 2009 年至 2019 年间发表的关于 HPV 疫苗接种预测因素的实证研究,共筛选出 598 个标题/摘要和 154 篇全文。最终有 18 项研究纳入分析。结果表明,参与者对 HPV 疫苗接种的态度、感知易感性、严重程度、获益和障碍存在不同看法。许多参与者认为自己不易感染 HPV,并且接种 HPV 疫苗的障碍大于获益。受访者的 HPV 相关知识和疫苗接种率相对较低。
预防宣传活动若能提高知识水平、促进积极态度、改变易感性认知并解决障碍,可能会提高大学生群体中男性 HPV 疫苗接种率。
