“…The highest amount of variance was related to the external stimulus (28.01%) and perceived vulnerability (9.84%), respectively. In the study of Ali et al (2017), which was somewhat similar to the present study, EFA was not used and no variance was reported [ 32 ]. In the study by Thomas et al [ 33 ], psychometric assessment explained students’ opinions about HPV and its vaccine with 4 factors and 40% of the total variance [ 33 ].…”

Background In order to increase HPV vaccination, it is necessary to identify the factors influencing vaccination behavior among different cultures and the young adult populations. To evaluate the factors influencing HPV vaccine uptake behaviors, valid, reliable, and culture-compatible scales are required. This study was conducted with the aim of designing and psychometric assessment of the scale of factors influencing HPV vaccine uptake behaviors in Young Adults (FI(HPV)VUBYA) in Iran. Methods The present study was carried out in a mixed-method in two steps: (a) Generating items using a qualitative study and literature review and (b) Reducing items by psychometric assessment of the designed scale. The initial set of items (N = 80) was prepared based on a qualitative study and literature review. A total of 400 young adults participated in online data collection from November 2019 to February 2020. The validity (face, content, and construct) and reliability (internal consistency and stability) of the scale were evaluated. Results The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) revealed that the scale has 7 factors, explaining 57.84% of the total extracted variance. There was also a knowledge factor that EFA did not analyze, but its validity and reliability were evaluated with 7 other factors. The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed a good model fit. Convergent and divergent validity of the scale was accepted for all factors. Good reliability was also reported for the scale. Conclusion FI(HPV)VUBYA 8-factor scale has good validity and reliability among young Iranian adults. Due to its appropriate psychometric properties, this scale can be used on this population in future studies.

Purpose: In 2010, MOH, Malaysia initiated national HPV immunization programme to all girls aged 13 years and in 2018, extended free/subsidised HPV vaccination to all unmarried women born between1990-1996, yet little is known about the vaccination status and the attitude for acceptance of this vaccine. Methods: A cross-sectional study among private university students was conducted in Kedah state, Malaysia. The primary outcome measure was to estimate the HPV vaccination status among the study population. The secondary outcome was to assess their attitude and perception towards HPV vaccination and predict socio-demographic factors which favour HPV vaccination. Results: The overall response rate was 77% (N = 696). About 55% of the respondents reported to have received at least one HPV injection. However, their attitude and perception towards HPV infection and HPV vaccination was neutral. Nearly half of the unvaccinated respondents (46%) were intended to get vaccinated. Half of them were aware of the nation immunization program and 52% of them were aware that MOH is providing free / subsidized HPV vaccination to all unmarried women born between 1990 and 1996. The statistically significant (p < .05) socio-demographic factors predictive for vaccination were education (p = .033) and year of study (p = .005). Conclusion: Despite more than half of the respondents were vaccinated, still many of the respondents has not yet received the vaccine. A comprehensive and sustainable HPV and cervical cancer education should be incorporated into health education at schools from the early teen-ages in order to achieve the desired impact, which is to limit the spread of HPV infection, thus decreasing the risk for cervical cancer incidence and mortality.
