The purpose of this study was to compare knowledge level of those clinical nurses who received HPV vaccine and those who did not and their perception of the relatedness of HPV vaccine to causes of cervical cancer.
A total of 249 clinical nurses were surveyed from June to July, 2009. The questionnaire originally developed by Kim & Ahn (2007) examined HPV-related knowledge originally and the tool for perception of the causes of cervical cancer was originally developed by Kim (1993). The total number of subjects equaled to: vaccination group of 52 (20.9%) and non-vaccination group of 197 (79.1%).
Vaccination group showed significantly higher score of both knowledge of HPV vaccination and the perception of the cause of cervical cancer in comparison to the nonvaccination group at (p<.05). Among 4 subscales of the perception of causes of cervical cancer, destiny and constitution subscale scores were significantly different between the two groups at (p<.05).
Clinical nurses need to constantly update with current knowledge of HPV and be prepared with currently changing cancer prevention strategies, especially in cervical cancer.
本研究旨在比较接种人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)疫苗的临床护士与未接种者的知识水平,以及他们对HPV疫苗与宫颈癌病因相关性的认知。
2009年6月至7月,共对249名临床护士进行了调查。最初由Kim和Ahn(2007年)编制的问卷用于调查HPV相关知识,而宫颈癌病因认知工具最初由Kim(1993年)编制。受试者总数为:接种组52人(20.9%),未接种组197人(79.1%)。
接种组在HPV疫苗知识和宫颈癌病因认知方面的得分均显著高于未接种组(p<0.05)。在宫颈癌病因认知的4个分量表中,两组在命运和体质分量表得分上存在显著差异(p<0.05)。
临床护士需要不断更新HPV的最新知识,并为当前不断变化的癌症预防策略做好准备,尤其是在宫颈癌方面。
