“…HPV is suspected to play causal roles in a variety of malignancies, but mainly in cervical cancer. HPVrelated cervical cancer affects millions of women and is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality worldwide [22,23]. In order to effectively implement cervical and other genital cancer prevention strategies; it is important to understand the current knowledge in the population about the disease, risk factors and prevention.…”

“…It is suggested that educating men about HPV is important because screening in this population is not a standard clinical practice. Men typically do not know they are infected and men's sexual behavior; particularly the number of previous sexual partners, plays a substantial role in the transmission and acquisition of HPV infection especially for women [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28].…”

Background: Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide and majority of cervical cancers are attributed to HPV. Men's sexual behavior plays a large role in the transmission of HPV and consequently cervical cancer. Awareness among men of HPV and the risks it poses for their female partners is therefore crucial especially because HPV is asymptomatic, and men are unlikely to know if they have been infected. In this study, it is aimed to identify the knowledge and attitudes of young male adults about HPV. Methods: The research was conducted in Gulhane Military Medical Academy in Ankara during April 2010-May 2011. Research group consisted of 874 private participants who agreed to participate. Data were collected with a form developed by the researchers including sociodemographic characteristics and knowledge level about HPV. In statistical analysis; frequencies and chi-square tests were utilized. For all the analysis, 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results: Participants had an average age of 23.4+2.9 and the average age of first sexual intercourse was 17.6+2.2. Three quarters of the participants (70.8%) didn't hear HPV, 71.3% didn't know that sexual partner can spread HPV without warts and 70.9% didn't know that HPV causes cervical cancer in women and penile cancer in men. However, 6.1% of the respondents stated to have genital warts at any one time. 57.6% of the respondents stated that HPV spread through sexual intercourse. 17.3% of the respondents stated that they did not know whether they had HPV suspected sexual partners. Conclusions: As a result, knowledge level of the respondents was found to be quite low and three of every four respondents were found to have no idea about HPV. In this context, nurses are believed to have an important role in informing young male adults about HPV.

“…The Health Belief Model (HBM) attempts to explain and predict health behaviours, and is used in assessing health-behaviour interventions by focussing on the attitudes and beliefs of individuals. The HBM has been used extensively to study vaccination beliefs and behaviours, and has also been used in vaccination research to identify people's perceptions of disease and vaccination [7,10,11].…”

In Italy HPV vaccination was implemented for girls since 2007 but its coverage was lower than recommended level. Sicily is one of the Italian administrative regions with lower vaccination coverage, ranging in the birth cohorts 1996–1999 from 59% to 62%. Aim of the study was to investigate factors associated with refusal of anti-HPV vaccination among young adult women of Palermo, Italy. A cross-sectional study was conducted through the administration of a telephone questionnaire, consisting of 23 items on HPV infection and vaccination knowledge based on Health Belief Model framework. The eligible population were young women with at least a previous vaccination among all included in Sicilian Vaccination schedule, without starting or completing anti-HPV vaccination schedule. Overall, 141 young women were enrolled, of them 84.4% were unvaccinated and 15.6% had at least one dose of HPV vaccine. In multivariate analysis, factors associated with the failure to perform the HPV vaccination were degree as school level (OR = 10.2, p = 0.041), lower participation at school seminar on HPV (OR = 0.2, p = 0.047) and lower perception of anti-HPV vaccine benefits (OR = 0.4, p = 0.048). Public health educational program focusing and tailored on benefits perception of anti-HPV vaccine and HPV disease severity, especially if carried out at school, can improve HPV vaccination uptake.

“…In Korea, the number of women with cervical cancer under 35 years of age is increasing rapidly. Human papilloma virus (HPV) infection, which has been reported to account for 70% of cervical cancers, has become a common health problem for young women worldwide (McCree & Dempsey, ; Montgomery & Smith‐Glasgow, ).…”

“…Even with a recently‐developed vaccine against HPV, many studies have consistently confirmed that regular Papanicolaou (Pap) testing has led to early detection and decrease in the mortality rate of cervical cancer by 70% in the past 40 years (Duffett‐Leger, Letoumeau, & Croll, ; Liou, Ling, Feng, Guo, & Chen, ; Mosavel, ). Women who do not undergo a Pap test at the recommended interval are more frequently diagnosed at an advanced stage because of late detection (Decker et al, ; Montgomery & Smith‐Glasgow, ; Prendergast & Hunter, ).…”

In this study, we identified the factors influencing behavioral intention to undergo Papanicolaou testing among Japanese and Korean women in early adulthood. Their behavioral intentions were compared in this cross-sectional descriptive study. In total, 887 women (Japanese = 498, Korean = 389) aged 20-39 years participated in this study. Using a self-report questionnaire, knowledge, attitudes, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and behavioral intention were surveyed. There were significant differences between Japanese and Korean women's scores on all main variables. For Japanese women, all the variables moderately correlated with behavioral intention. In comparison, for Korean women, all independent variables, except for knowledge, moderately correlated with behavioral intention. Through a multiple regression analysis, age, undergoing Papanicolaou testing, attitudes, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control were identified as significant predictors of behavioral intention among Japanese women. Among Korean women, job status, undergoing a Papanicolaou test, attitudes, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control were demonstrated as significant predictors of behavioral intention. Health professionals should consider these factors to encourage Papanicolaou testing in women in early adulthood.
