Our goal is to improve the understanding of human papillomavirus (HPV) and its vaccination among obstetrics and gynecology trainees and young specialists worldwide.
This cross-sectional study was conducted through an online survey consisting of 28 questions by the World Association of Trainees in Obstetrics and Gynecology between February and August 2023. The questionnaire collected demographic data of the study participants and assessed the respondents' knowledge and perception of HPV, HPV vaccines, and vaccine dosing schedule.
Two hundred five Ob/Gyn trainees and young Ob/Gyns from 52 countries completed the survey. The majority of respondents were trainees (158, 77.1%). Most trainees and young Ob/Gyns learned about HPV for the first time during medical school (149, 72.6%). Almost all (204, 99.5%) Ob/Gyns responded that HPV was sexually transmitted. More than half of the respondents had not received HPV vaccination (110, 53.7%). The vaccine was recommended for respondents mostly by their Ob/Gyn senior colleagues (110, 53.7%). Most of the respondents knew how to manage HPV-positive patients (179, 87.3%).
This study suggests that even though knowledge on HPV and its vaccination is satisfactory among trainees and young Ob/Gyns, HPV vaccination remains deficient. There is a need to understand, educate, and address the potential problem that lies underneath.
我们的目标是增进全球妇产科实习生和年轻专科医生对人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）及其疫苗接种的了解。
这项横断面研究通过世界妇产科实习生协会在2023年2月至8月期间进行的一项包含28个问题的在线调查开展。问卷收集了研究参与者的人口统计学数据，并评估了受访者对HPV、HPV疫苗及疫苗接种时间表的知识和认知。
来自52个国家的205名妇产科实习生和年轻妇产科医生完成了调查。大多数受访者是实习生（158名，占77.1%）。大多数实习生和年轻妇产科医生在医学院期间首次了解到HPV（149名，占72.6%）。几乎所有（204名，占99.5%）妇产科医生都回答HPV是通过性传播的。超过一半的受访者未接种HPV疫苗（110名，占53.7%）。疫苗大多是由他们的妇产科上级同事推荐给受访者的（110名，占53.7%）。大多数受访者知道如何管理HPV阳性患者（179名，占87.3%）。
这项研究表明，尽管实习生和年轻妇产科医生对HPV及其疫苗接种的知识较为令人满意，但HPV疫苗接种情况仍然不足。有必要了解、教育并解决其背后潜在的问题。
