“…A later study that collected data among 972 college women from 2007 to 2009 showed that 49% of the participants received at least one dose of an HPV vaccine (Roberts, Gerrand, Reimer, & Gibbons, 2010). Similarly, a study published in 2010 reported that 43.6% of the participants received at least one dose of the HPV vaccine (Licht et al, 2010). In November, 2010, a survey conducted at a large, public university in California showed that only 30% of women aged 18 to 26 had received at least one dose of HPV vaccine (CSULB, 2011 …”

“…Despite the challenges of comparing findings across studies, many of the studies suggested that most participants (80.7-93.5%) believed that contracting HPV would be severe and having cervical cancer would be devastating (Holguin, 2009;Lopez & McMahan, 2007;Zimet, Weiss, Rosenthal, Good, & Vichin, 2010). However, many participants (50-84.4%) did not feel that they were at risk for HPV (Bynum, Wright, Brandt, Burgis, & Bacon, 2009;Conroy et al, 2009;Licht et al, 2010;Roberts et al, 2010). This significant underestimation of personal risk can lead college-aged women to deter Pap tests and to decide not to get the HPV vaccine.…”

Participants were a convenience sample of college women (n=384) ages 18 to 26 attending a large, public university in Southern California. An electronic self-administered survey was utilized to collect data. The theory of planned behavior provided a framework for understanding the factors associated with vaccine uptake and with post-vaccine sexual behaviors. Results: College women had good HPV/HPV vaccine knowledge. Over 90% of vaccinees and non-vaccinees knew that Pap test is still needed after the vaccination and an HPV vaccine does not protect against all STIs. Both groups also had positive attitudes toward mandatory vaccination. However, knowledge and attitudes toward the vaccine were not directly linked to the outcome predictors-intention to obtain the vaccine and vaccine uptake. While attitude toward getting vaccinated, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control were correlated with the outcome predictors, subjective norms consistently predicted intention to obtain HPV vaccine and vaccine uptake. There were no significant differences in sexual behaviors (numbers of sexual partners in a life time, numbers of sexual partners in the past 12 months, condom use, condom use frequency) between non-vaccinees and vaccinees. The numbers of sexual partners before and after vaccination among vaccinees were also not significantly different. Conclusions: Strategies to ensure that those who are eligible for catch-up vaccination are vaccinated should include attention to college women's subjective norms. Vaccine mandatory proposal would not be unacceptable to this population and concerns that the HPV vaccine encourages unsafe sexual behaviors and practices among college aged women may be disregarded.

“…The studies that have investigated young adult women's HPV vaccination perceptions, intentions, and behaviors have been primarily focused on university students in urban environments (Allen et al, 2009;Bennett, Buchanan, & Adams, 2012;Bynum, Brandt, Sharpe, Williams, & Kerr, 2011;Crosby, Schoenberg, Hopenhayn, Moore, & Melhan, 2007;Gerend & Shepherd, 2012;Hopfer & Clippard, 2011;Juraskova, O'Brien, Mullan, Bari, Laidsaar-Powell, & McCaffery, 2012;Krawczyk et al, 2012;Licht et al, 2010;Moore, Crosby, Young, & Charnigo, 2010;Roberts, Gerrard, Reimer, & Gibbons, 2010). Unfortunately, behavioral and psychosocial factors that influence uptake of the HPV vaccine have not been investigated among young adult women in low-income, medically underserved communities, such as those in rural Appalachia.…”

Predictors of Initial Uptake of Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Uptake Among Rural Appalachian Young Women

et al. 2013

Women in Appalachian Kentucky experience a high burden of cervical cancer and have low rates of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination. The purpose of this study was to identify normative influences predicting initial HPV vaccine uptake among a sample of young women in southeastern Kentucky. Women (N = 495), ages 18 through 26 years, were recruited from clinics and community colleges. After completing a questionnaire, women received a free voucher for HPV vaccination. Whether women redeemed the voucher for Dose 1 served as the primary outcome variable. Hierarchical logistic regression was used to estimate the influence of healthcare providers, friends, mothers, and fathers on vaccine uptake. One-quarter of the total sample (25.9 %) received Dose 1. Uptake was higher in the clinic sample (45.1 %) than in the college sample (6.9 %). On multivariate analysis, women indicating that their healthcare provider suggested the vaccine, that their friends would "definitely" want them to be vaccinated, and that their fathers would "definitely" want them to receive the vaccine all were 1.6 times more likely to receive Dose 1. Interaction effects occurred between recruitment site (clinic vs. community college) and all three of the normative influences retaining multivariate significance, indicating that the associations only applied to the clinic sample. HPV vaccine interventions may benefit from highlighting paternal endorsement, healthcare provider recommendation, and peer support.

Purpose A review of the literature to identify modifiable influences on female human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine uptake relevant to clinical practice in order to support nurse practitioners (NPs) in the prevention of cervical cancer. Data sources PubMed, CINAHL, reference lists of publications that surfaced in the electronic search. Conclusions Six influences are modifiable and potentially amenable to being addressed at the clinic encounter level: (a) cost and insurance coverage, (b) provider recommendation, (c) vaccination opportunity, (d) HPV and HPV vaccine knowledge, (e) vaccine safety concerns, and (f) HPV risk. Implications for practice NPs have an important role in improving HPV vaccine uptake and research suggests several areas they can address to increase vaccination during clinic visits.

Is use of the human papillomavirus vaccine among female college students related to human papillomavirus knowledge and risk perception?

Abstract: These findings suggest knowledge deficits and misperceptions about HPV risk as potential themes for educational campaigns encouraging the greater use of the preventive HPV vaccine among this subgroup.
