Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination for adolescents helps in the prevention of preventable cancers caused due to HPV infection. However, many adolescents are not vaccinated due to lack of knowledge among parents.
This study aimed to compare the level of knowledge and attitude of parents on HPV vaccination before and after the online educational intervention.
Across-sectional pilot study was conducted among a sample of 45 parents of adolescents studying in class 7-9. The parents were selected two-stage simple random sampling and assigned randomly to three groups with three different methods of education - online lecture with PowerPoint presentation, online short film with discussion, and self-learning online booklet. Pre- and postintervention knowledge was assessed with a structured questionnaire and attitude with modified Likert scale administered online. Wilcoxon and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to find the statistical significance in the study.
Only 36% of samples stated that they have not heard about HPV vaccination, while others had heard from health-care workers, family members, friends, or television, but their knowledge was inadequate. In all the three groups, there was significant improvement in level of knowledge, but there was no significant difference in attitude. The posttest knowledge scores of parents educated with short film were significantly more than the other two interventions.
Online educational programs were found to be effective in improving the knowledge of parents on HPV vaccination and of the three methods; short film was more effective than the other two methods.
为青少年接种人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗有助于预防 HPV 感染引起的可预防癌症。然而，由于父母缺乏相关知识，许多青少年未能接种疫苗。
本研究旨在比较 HPV 疫苗接种的父母在接受在线教育干预前后的知识水平和态度。
采用横断面试点研究，对 45 名正在 7-9 年级就读的青少年的家长进行研究。采用两阶段简单随机抽样方法选取家长，并随机分为三组，采用三种不同的教育方法：在线幻灯片讲座、在线短片加讨论和在线自学小册子。采用结构化问卷评估干预前后的知识，采用改良的李克特量表评估态度，并在线进行。采用 Wilcoxon 和 Kruskal-Wallis 检验来发现研究中的统计学意义。
只有 36%的样本表示他们没有听说过 HPV 疫苗接种，而其他人则是从医护人员、家庭成员、朋友或电视上听说过，但他们的知识不足。在所有三组中，知识水平均有显著提高，但态度没有显著差异。接受短片教育的家长的后测知识得分明显高于其他两种干预措施。
在线教育计划被发现可以有效提高父母对 HPV 疫苗接种的知识水平，在三种方法中，短片比其他两种方法更有效。
