Factors associated with the intention to recommend human papillomavirus vaccination among Korean school health teachers

Abstract

Findings suggest a need for more education to promote a greater understanding of HPV and HPV vaccination among Korean school health teachers.

An appraisal of theoretical approaches to examining behaviours in relation to Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination of young women

“…Internal consistency by grouping constructs was reported by 19 studies ( Bowyer et al, 2014 , Reiter et al, 2009 , Dempsey et al, 2006 , Natan et al, 2011 , Reynolds and O'Connell, 2012 , Askelson et al, 2010a , Askelson et al, 2010b , Askelson et al, 2011a , Askelson et al, 2011b , Gainforth et al, 2012a , Gainforth et al, 2012b , Kahn et al, 2005 , Kahn et al, 2009 , Ogilvie et al, 2007 , Teitelman et al, 2011 , Fahy and Desmond, 2010 , Choi et al, 2013 , Marlow et al, 2009 , Thomas et al, 2013 ), of which ten studies ( Bowyer et al, 2014 , Reiter et al, 2009 , Dempsey et al, 2006 , Brawner et al, 2013 , Ogilvie et al, 2007 , Teitelman et al, 2011 , Fahy and Desmond, 2010 , Kahn et al, 2005 , Askelson et al, 2010a , Askelson et al, 2010b ) indicated lower internal consistency by some constructs (range: 20% to 65%). Lower explanatory power (< 70%) of theoretical models was identified within ten studies ( Bowyer et al, 2014 , Natan et al, 2011 , Askelson et al, 2010a , Askelson et al, 2011a , Askelson et al, 2011b , Teitelman et al, 2011 , Kahn et al, 2005 , Choi et al, 2013 , Marlow et al, 2009 , Thomas et al, 2013 ) (range: 10% to 68%). Higher explanatory power (≥ 70%) was reported in seven studies ( Reiter et al, 2009 , Reynolds and O'Connell, 2012 , Brawner et al, 2013 , Gainforth et al, 2012a , Teitelman et al, 2011 , Fahy and Desmond, 2010 , Askelson et al, 2010b ) (range: 70% to 96%).…”

“…Thirty-one studies were identified which reported using at least one health behaviour theoretical model or framework ( Bowyer et al, 2014 , Spleen et al, 2012 , Morales-Campos et al, 2013 , Reiter et al, 2009 , Dempsey et al, 2006 , Natan et al, 2011 , Reynolds and O'Connell, 2012 , Roberto et al, 2011 , Askelson et al, 2010a , Askelson et al, 2010b , Askelson et al, 2011a , Askelson et al, 2011b , Brawner et al, 2013 , Gainforth et al, 2012a , Gainforth et al, 2012b , Hertweck et al, 2013 , Kahn et al, 2005 , Kahn et al, 2009 , Ogilvie et al, 2007 , Teitelman et al, 2011 , Stretch et al, 2009 , Fahy and Desmond, 2010 , Brewer and Fazekas, 2007 , Choi et al, 2013 , D'Souza et al, 2011 , Marlow et al, 2009 , McRee et al, 2012 , Rose et al, 2012 , Thomas et al, 2013 , Shafer et al, 2011 , McSherry et al, 2012 ). The most widely reported were the theory of planned behaviour ( Ajzen, 1985 , Ajzen, 1991 ) (n of studies = 15, 44.1%) and the health belief model ( Rosenstock et al, 1988 , Hochbaum, 1958 ) (15, 44.1%).…”

“…The health belief model ( Rosenstock et al, 1988 , Hochbaum, 1958 ) encompasses six main constructs to predict preventative behaviours: perceived susceptibility; perceived severity; perceived benefits; perceived barriers; self-efficacy; and call to action ( Rosenstock et al, 1988 , Hochbaum, 1958 ). Fifteen studies ( Bowyer et al, 2014 , Spleen et al, 2012 , Morales-Campos et al, 2013 , Reiter et al, 2009 , Dempsey et al, 2006 , Reynolds and O'Connell, 2012 , Kahn et al, 2009 , Brewer and Fazekas, 2007 , Choi et al, 2013 , D'Souza et al, 2011 , Marlow et al, 2009 , McRee et al, 2012 , Rose et al, 2012 , Thomas et al, 2013 , Shafer et al, 2011 ) were identified as to which reported using the health belief model. In a systematic review of USA-based studies, the authors reported that parental acceptability of the HPV vaccine related to beliefs in effectiveness, susceptibility to HPV infection, and physician recommendation and barriers included cost and promotion of adolescent sexual behaviour ( Brewer and Fazekas, 2007 ).…”

“…One study found that parents' perceived barriers and harms of the HPV vaccine, and perceived likelihood of their daughter developing cervical cancer, were related to vaccination status of their daughter ( Reiter et al, 2009 ). Korean school health teachers' intentions to recommend vaccination ( Choi et al, 2013 ), parental intentions to have their daughter vaccinated against HPV ( Reynolds and O'Connell, 2012 , Kahn et al, 2009 , Rose et al, 2012 ), and information seeking behaviour ( McRee et al, 2012 ) were examined using the health belief model.…”

“…It appeared that the theory guided and directed the various phases of the research process which could be tracked throughout the article ( Bradbury-Jones et al, 2014 ). There were seven studies that appeared (from the information presented in the paper) to inconsistently use theory ( Spleen et al, 2012 , Morales-Campos et al, 2013 , Dempsey et al, 2006 , Stretch et al, 2009 , Choi et al, 2013 , Rose et al, 2012 , Katz et al, 2013 ). One did not justify the selected theory within the manuscript ( Rose et al, 2012 ).…”
