This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the digital storytelling (DS) method in increasing human papilloma virus (HPV) awareness.
The study was conducted in the gynecology and obstetrics outpatient clinic of a state hospital between April and December 2023. The universe of the study consisted of women who applied to the outpatient clinic between these dates and volunteered. A total of 80 women who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study (n = 40 for each group). Data for the study were gathered using Personal Introduction Form and Human Papilloma Virus Knowledge Scale. Repeated measures ANOVA method was used to determine the difference between the pre-training, post-first training and post-second training measurement scores according to the intervention and control groups. For significant ANOVA results, measurements with differences were compared pairwise using Bonferroni correction. All statistical analyses were examined at the p < 0.05 significance level.
Socio-demographic characteristics and HPV awareness levels of women in the intervention and control groups were similar before training (p > 0.05). After the activity conducted with the digital story method in the intervention group, the HPV awareness levels of women in this group increased significantly (p < 0.05). Considering the development in each group, an increase in posttest scores is observed in both groups. However, when the increase amounts in each group in the intervention and control groups were examined, it was determined that all awareness levels increased more in the intervention group. In the intergroup comparison, it was determined that the mean measurements of general HPV knowledge, general HPV vaccine knowledge, and knowledge of the current HPV vaccination program of women in the intervention group at the first and second follow-ups after the training were higher than those in the control group.
The DS method was effective in raising HPV awareness given to the intervention group. Health professionals and researchers can benefit from DS in providing health education and consultancy services such as HPV awareness.
本研究旨在确定数字故事讲述（DS）方法在提高人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）知晓率方面的有效性。
该研究于2023年4月至12月在一家国立医院的妇产科门诊进行。研究总体包括在这些日期之间申请门诊并自愿参与的女性。共有80名符合纳入标准的女性被纳入研究（每组n = 40）。研究数据通过个人介绍表和人乳头瘤病毒知识量表收集。采用重复测量方差分析方法，根据干预组和对照组确定训练前、第一次训练后和第二次训练后测量得分之间的差异。对于显著的方差分析结果，使用Bonferroni校正对有差异的测量进行两两比较。所有统计分析均在p < 0.05的显著性水平上进行检验。
干预组和对照组女性的社会人口学特征和HPV知晓水平在训练前相似（p > 0.05）。在干预组采用数字故事方法开展活动后，该组女性的HPV知晓水平显著提高（p < 0.05）。考虑到每组的发展情况，两组的测试后得分均有所提高。然而，在检查干预组和对照组每组的提高幅度时，发现干预组的所有知晓水平提高得更多。在组间比较中，确定干预组女性在训练后的第一次和第二次随访中，其一般HPV知识、一般HPV疫苗知识以及当前HPV疫苗接种计划知识的平均测量得分高于对照组。
DS方法在提高干预组的HPV知晓率方面是有效的。卫生专业人员和研究人员可以从DS中受益，以提供诸如HPV知晓等健康教育和咨询服务。
