The influencing factors of HPV vaccination willingness among internship nursing students
Objective To understand the willingness of internship student nurses to receive HPV vaccine and analyze the influencing factors.Methods 536 student nurses from four general hospitals in Huangshan City were selected by convenience sampling method to conduct a questionnaire survey.Results Among the 536 student nurses,67.5%were willing to receive the HPV vaccine,with an overall vaccination rate of 6.9%.75.6%of 536 student nurses had heard of the HPV/HPV vaccine,and their cognitive qualification rate was 78.5%.Using binary logistic regression analy-sis,the results showed that student nurses who are female(OR=1.692,95%CI:1.032-2.772,P=0.037),undergradu-ate(OR=1.899,95%CI:1.091-3.306,P=0.023),probationary student nurses with a history of sexual behavior(OR=4.516,95%CI:2.408-8.470,Pcc<0.001),with a family history of malignant tumors(OR=7.789,95%CI:1.905-31.844,P=0.004),and cognitively qualified(OR=15.053,95%CI:7.843-28.890,P<0.001)had a higher willingness to receive HPV vaccine.Conclusion Student nurses'willingness to receive HPV vaccine is at a moderate level,and their understanding of HPV related knowledge is still not comprehensive.Therefore,it is necessary to strengthen health education on HPV related knowledge,encourage medical students to participate in peer education,and advocate for the government to optimize the appointment method of HPV vaccine and provide some support in the vaccination cost to further improve the vaccination rate.
