“…In our study, it was 38% of the respondents. The results of a study conducted by Kram et al among the parents of paediatric ward patients showed that 51.3% of respondents were aware of a vaccine against HPV and showed a desire to obtain additional information on vaccinations [31]. In our sample, 38.9% of patients knew about the availability of a vaccine against HPV.…”

Introduction: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is responsible for oral cavity lesions such as squamous papilloma, multiform epithelial hyperplasia, condylomata acuminata, giant cell fibroids or squamous cell carcinoma. Aim: To assess the patients' awareness of HPV infection's impact on oral health. Material and methods: This was a prospective study of dental patients who were treated in the Department of Oral Surgery at the Medical University of Gdańsk (Gdańsk, Poland) from January to February 2019. Inclusion criteria were as follows: Polish-speaking patients over 18 years old. Exclusion criteria were as follows: people with limited Polish language knowledge and under 18 years old. Participation was voluntary based on the written consent. Descriptive and bivariate statistics were computed and the p-value was set at ≤ 0.05. Results: Three hundred and sixty-three people (58.13%: females; 41.87%: males; mean age 21 years, range: 18-65) were included in the study. Women were more aware what HPV was (p = 0.011), the fact that HPV infection could be latent (p = 0.018), responsible for the oral cancer (p = 0.032), there was an HPV vaccine (p < 0.001), and how to prevent infection (p < 0.001); relationship between age and the fact that HPV infection may be responsible for the oral cancer (p = 0.007), HPV infection methods (p < 0.001), characteristics of the lesions caused by the HPV on the mucous membrane (p < 0.001), and how to prevent infection (p = 0.044). Conclusions: Our study suggests that patients' awareness of the influence of HPV infections on oral health is limited. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the education of the patients and to prevention programs.

“…It is also possible that the low number of vaccinated patients of the present sample are related to the poor awareness of HPV as a risk factor for oral cancer as was found in other studies although this was not an aim of the present study. [ 44 ]…”

“…16 An additional study used a modified Carolina HPV Immunization Attitudes and Beliefs Scales instrument with questions concerning head and neck cancer and HPV. 17 The remaining 3 studies used validated instruments from individual pilot studies. In addition to direct assessments of knowledge, 4 studies used focus groups to address participant comfort and knowledge of HPV, HPV-associated OPSCC, and the HPV vaccine.…”

Objective To describe the level of knowledge of human papillomavirus (HPV) and HPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) among the general population and health care providers. Data Sources Systematic search was performed on December 20, 2018, using MEDLINE (1966 to December 2018), EMBASE (1975 to December 2018), Web of Science (1900 to December 2018), and CENTRAL (1996 to December 2018) databases. English-language literature involving human subjects was used, and studies were limited to case series, case-control, cohort, and randomized controlled trial designs. Review Methods Studies were included if they assessed knowledge of HPV and HPV-associated OPSCC. The primary outcome measure was the knowledge of HPV-associated OPSCC among the general population and with health care providers. Meta-analysis of proportions was attempted using random-effects model. The PRISMA guidelines were used for accuracy of reporting. Results Thirty-two studies were included with 17,288 participants. There was a high degree of heterogeneity preventing completion of a meta-analysis. Knowledge of HPV and HPV-associated OPSCC varied between the general population and health care providers. The proportion of the general population and health care providers with knowledge of HPV ranged from 16% to 75% and 21% to 84%, respectively. Knowledge of HPV-associated OPSCC was greater in health care providers and ranged from 22% to 100% compared with the general population, which ranged from 7% to 57%. Conclusion There is a knowledge gap of HPV-associated OPSCC for both the general population and health care providers. Additional education may not only increase awareness but may also result in prevention and earlier detection.
