This study was conducted to determine women's health beliefs about HPV and HPV vaccination and factors associated with health beliefs. This cross‐sectional study was conducted with 300 women aged 21–64 in Turkey. Data were collected using the human papillomavirus (HPV) knowledge scale (HPV‐KS) and the health belief model scale for human papillomavirus and its vaccination (HBMS‐HPVV). The mean age of the women who participated in the study was 35.16 ± 9.52 years. Of them, 72.3% heard of the HPV test, 30.3% had an HPV test, 62% heard of HPV vaccination, and 9.7% had HPV vaccination. Educational level, hearing about the HPV vaccine, and HPV knowledge level were significant predictors of perceived benefit (p < .001). HPV knowledge level significantly predicted perceived susceptibility (p < .001). HPV knowledge level and hearing about HPV tests and vaccines were significant predictors of perceived severity (p < .001). A high level of education, a high level of HPV knowledge, and hearing about HPV tests and the HPV vaccine positively affect women's health beliefs. Health belief model‐based education programs should be used to improve women's HPV knowledge and health beliefs about HPV and the HPV vaccine. In addition to women's health beliefs, cervical cancers can only be prevented by including the HPV vaccine in national immunization programs and increasing the coverage of HPV screening tests.

土耳其女性样本中与 HPV 和 HPV 疫苗接种相关的健康信念和相关因素：一项横断面研究


本研究旨在确定女性对 HPV 和 HPV 疫苗接种的健康信念以及与健康信念相关的因素。这项横断面研究针对土耳其 300 名 21-64 岁的女性进行。使用人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）知识量表（HPV-KS）和人乳头瘤病毒及其疫苗接种健康信念模型量表（HBMS-HPVV）收集数据。参与研究的女性平均年龄为 35.16 ± 9.52 岁。其中，72.3%的人听说过HPV检测，30.3%的人做过HPV检测，62%的人听说过HPV疫苗，9.7%的人接种过HPV疫苗。教育水平、了解 HPV 疫苗的情况以及 HPV 知识水平是感知益处的重要预测因素 (p < .001)。 HPV 知识水平可显着预测感知易感性 (p < .001)。 HPV 知识水平以及有关 HPV 检测和疫苗的了解是感知严重程度的重要预测因素 (p < .001)。高水平的教育、高水平的 HPV 知识以及了解 HPV 检测和 HPV 疫苗对女性的健康信念产生积极影响。应利用基于健康信念模型的教育项目来提高女性的HPV知识以及对HPV和HPV疫苗的健康信念。除了女性的健康信念外，宫颈癌的预防只有将HPV疫苗纳入国家免疫规划、提高HPV筛查检测覆盖率。
