Abstract:

 Objective: It was aimed to determine the opinions and thoughts about Human Papilloma Virus HPV and HPV vaccine and the frequency of vaccination of female students studying in the field of health. Method: The sample of the descriptive and cross-sectional study was composed of female students n:204 who received associate degree education in the field of health. Data were collected using a participant questionnaire. Number n, percentage , mean and standard deviation in data analysis; Chi-square test was used to compare categorical variables with each other. Statistical significance level was accepted as p0.05. Results: It was determined that 47.1 of the participants did not know the name of the virus that causes cervical cancer, and 42.2 did not know that HPV caused genital warts. It was determined that not all of the participants were vaccinated, 78.4 did not know about the HPV vaccine, and 89.7 did not receive information about immunization from family medicine. A statistically significant difference was determined between the participants knowledge about HPV and their knowing that HPV causes cancer and their thinking that HPV vaccine is necessary p0.05. Conclusion: It was determined that the students did not think that they had sufficient knowledge about HPV and HPV vaccine, and not all of them had HPV vaccine. For this reason, it is thought that it would be beneficial to make arrangements in the education curriculum so that students have sufficient knowledge about HPV and HPV vaccine.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı sağlık alanında eğitim gören kız öğrencilerin Human Papilloma Virüs HPV ve HPV aşısına ait görüş ve düşünceleri ile aşılanma sıklığının belirlemesidir. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipte yürütülen çalışmanın örneklemini sağlık alanında önlisans eğitimi gören kız öğrenciler n:204 oluşturdu. Veriler katılımcı soru formu kullanılarak toplandı. Verilerin analizinde sayı n, yüzde , ortalama ve standart sapma; kategorik değişkenlerin birbiri ile karşılaştırılmasında ki kare testi kullanıldı. İstatistiksel anlamlılık düzeyi p0.05 kabul edildi. Bulgular: Katılımcıların 47.1inin rahim ağzı kanserine neden olan virüsün adını, 42.2si ise HPVnin genital siğillere neden olduğunu bilmediği belirlendi. Katılımcıların tamamının aşılanmadığı, 78.4ünün HPV aşısı hakkında bilgi sahibi olmadığı, 89.7sinin aile hekimliğinden bağışıklama konusunda bilgi almadığı saptandı. Katılımcıların HPV hakkında bilgi sahibi olma durumu ile HPVnin kansere neden olduğunu bilme ve HPV aşısının gerekli olduğunu düşünme durumu arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık belirlendi p0.05. Sonuç: Öğrencilerin HPV ve HPV aşısına yönelik yeterli düzeyde bilgi sahibi olduklarını düşünmedikleri, tamamının HPV aşısı olmadığı saptandı. Bu sebeple öğrencilerin HPV ve HPV aşısına yönelik yeterli düzeyde bilgiye sahip olmaları amacıyla eğitim öğretim müfredatında düzenlenmeler yapılmasının yararlı olacağı düşünülmektedir.
