This study aimed to describe the status quo of human papilloma virus (HPV)-related knowledge and attitude among Chinese male college students and explore the factors influencing HPV vaccination intention. A national, cross-sectional online survey was conducted among male college students in China to investigate their HPV-related information, knowledge, attitudes, and vaccine recommendation intentions. Path analysis based on the information, knowledge, attitude, and intention model was used to assess the relationships between predictors. In total, 823 male college students participated in the survey. More than 80% of the respondents believed that the HPV vaccine was necessary for their female partners, whereas 136 (16.52%) respondents knew nothing about HPV or HPV vaccines. Information exposure was a positive predictor of HPV-related knowledge. Knowledge subsequently had a positive impact on trust in HPV vaccines, and sufficient knowledge and a positive attitude increased the intention to recommend HPV vaccination ( < .001). Among the demographic characteristics, age and a major in medicine were positively associated with the information score ( .05). The male college students' HPV-related knowledge was inadequate and negatively influenced their vaccine recommendation intentions. If we take advantage of the Internet and individual sources to increase students' exposure to information, we will improve their HPV-related knowledge and attitudes; thus, the intention to recommend HPV vaccination will ultimately be stronger.
本研究旨在描述中国男大学生 HPV 相关知识和态度的现状，并探讨影响 HPV 疫苗接种意愿的因素。采用全国性、横断面在线调查的方法，对中国男大学生进行 HPV 相关信息、知识、态度和疫苗推荐意愿的调查。基于信息、知识、态度和意向模型的路径分析评估了预测因素之间的关系。共有 823 名男大学生参与了调查。超过 80%的受访者认为 HPV 疫苗对其女性伴侣是必要的，而 136 名（16.52%）受访者对 HPV 或 HPV 疫苗一无所知。信息暴露是 HPV 相关知识的正向预测因素。知识随后对 HPV 疫苗的信任产生积极影响，充足的知识和积极的态度增加了推荐 HPV 疫苗接种的意愿（<0.001）。在人口统计学特征中，年龄和医学专业与信息评分呈正相关（<0.05）。男大学生 HPV 相关知识不足，对其疫苗推荐意愿产生负面影响。如果我们利用互联网和个人资源增加学生对信息的接触，将提高他们对 HPV 的相关知识和态度；从而最终更强的推荐 HPV 疫苗接种的意愿。
