One of the most prevalent conditions affecting the vaginal organs is the human papilloma virus (HPV). Human papillomavirus (HPV) knowledge and attitudes have been the subject of numerous studies in Saudi Arabia. However, there are only a few studies that have examined university students' attitudes and knowledge of the human papillomavirus and the vaccine that is associated with it.
To predict the level of knowledge and attitudes regarding HPV and its related vaccine among undergraduate nursing students.
This was descriptive cross-sectional research. After being selected from Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University's College of Nursing, 307 nursing students agreed to take part and completed an online survey that was self-administered.
The majority of the participants (73.5%) had a low level of knowledge of HPV with a mean score of 2.77 ± 1.78. In addition, more than half of the participating nursing students (57%) had a moderate attitude toward HPV vaccination with a mean score of 51.18 ± 11.16. The study results also verified that there was a highly significant correlation between the nursing students' demographics and their knowledge and attitudes toward HPV ( < 0.001). According to the SEM, nursing students' knowledge regarding HPV accounted for 48% of the variance in students' attitudes.
Nursing students' knowledge regarding HPV vaccination is an important predictor of students' attitudes regarding HPV.
影响阴道器官的最常见病症之一是人类乳头瘤病毒（HPV）。在沙特阿拉伯，人类乳头瘤病毒（HPV）的知识和态度一直是众多研究的主题。然而，仅有少数研究调查了大学生对人类乳头瘤病毒及其相关疫苗的态度和知识。
预测本科护理专业学生对HPV及其相关疫苗的知识水平和态度。
这是一项描述性横断面研究。从努拉公主本·阿卜杜勒拉赫曼大学护理学院挑选出307名护理专业学生，他们同意参与并完成了一项自我管理的在线调查。
大多数参与者（73.5%）对HPV的知识水平较低，平均得分为2.77±1.78。此外，超过一半的参与调查的护理专业学生（57%）对HPV疫苗接种持中等态度，平均得分为51.18±11.16。研究结果还证实，护理专业学生的人口统计学特征与他们对HPV的知识和态度之间存在高度显著的相关性（<0.001）。根据结构方程模型，护理专业学生对HPV的知识占学生态度差异的48%。
护理专业学生对HPV疫苗接种的知识是学生对HPV态度的重要预测指标。
