This qualitative study was an integral part in the development of a multidisciplinary team-led school-based human papillomavirus vaccination health-promotion programme (MDL-SHPVP) aiming to increase HPV vaccine uptake in Hong Kong. Study findings will inform the design of the MDL-SHPVP by drawing on interview data regarding the expectations and needs of key stakeholders and potential programme users.
Eight mother-daughter dyads, four secondary school teachers, two school principals, three social workers and one school nurse were interviewed. All interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim for thematic analysis.
Most participants had misconceptions about HPV and the vaccine. Alhough there was no immediate perceived need for the vaccination, most participants had favourable attitudes towards HPV inoculation and vaccines in general. Factors affecting vaccine uptake included perceptions about risk of infection, vaccine availability, and cost. Participants were largely open to suggested MDL-SHPVP components (videos, digital game, and group discussions).
Findings have highlighted knowledge gaps among potential users and key stakeholders and will be used to inform the design of the MDL-SHPVP to ensure that their needs and expectations are addressed. Study findings may also aid future HPV vaccine promotion efforts and boost HPV vaccine uptake among youth in the city.
本定性研究是多学科团队主导的学校人乳头瘤病毒疫苗接种健康促进计划(MDL-SHPVP)开发的组成部分,旨在提高香港的 HPV 疫苗接种率。研究结果将通过借鉴关键利益相关者和潜在计划使用者的期望和需求的访谈数据,为 MDL-SHPVP 的设计提供信息。
对 8 对母女、4 名中学教师、2 名校长、3 名社会工作者和 1 名校护进行了访谈。所有访谈均进行了录音,并逐字转录进行主题分析。
大多数参与者对 HPV 和疫苗存在误解。尽管人们对疫苗接种没有立即的需求,但大多数参与者对 HPV 接种和一般疫苗持积极态度。影响疫苗接种率的因素包括对感染风险、疫苗供应和成本的看法。参与者对建议的 MDL-SHPVP 组成部分(视频、数字游戏和小组讨论)持开放态度。
研究结果突出了潜在使用者和关键利益相关者的知识差距,并将用于告知 MDL-SHPVP 的设计,以确保满足他们的需求和期望。研究结果还可能有助于未来的 HPV 疫苗推广工作,并提高该市年轻人的 HPV 疫苗接种率。
