The goal of this study was to examine knowledge level of human papillomavirus (HPV), cervical cancer, and vaccination status among Korean mothers' with a daughter in high school.
A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with a convenience sample of 234 Korean mothers.
The mean score of HPV knowledge level was 4.21 out of 20, and cervical cancer knowledge was 3.88 out of 7. There were low levels of daughters' who received HPV vaccination (3.8%) and high levels of mothers' intention to get their daughters' vaccinated with HPV (85.0%). The major barrier to HPV vaccination was the concern for side effect from the vaccination. The most effective recommendation for HPV vaccination came from health care providers.
HPV educational programs targeting mothers of daughters in high school is needed. Future studies need to determine actual HPV vaccination rates and factors related to high uptake using a larger sample from various socioeconomic background.
本研究的目的是调查韩国有高中女儿的母亲对人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）、宫颈癌的知晓水平以及疫苗接种情况。
对234名韩国母亲的便利样本进行了横断面描述性研究。
HPV知识水平的平均得分在20分中为4.21分，宫颈癌知识在7分中为3.88分。接受HPV疫苗接种的女儿比例较低（3.8%），而母亲希望女儿接种HPV疫苗的意愿较高（85.0%）。HPV疫苗接种的主要障碍是对疫苗副作用的担忧。HPV疫苗接种最有效的建议来自医疗保健提供者。
需要针对有高中女儿的母亲开展HPV教育项目。未来的研究需要使用来自不同社会经济背景的更大样本，确定实际的HPV疫苗接种率以及与高接种率相关的因素。
