In the study conducted by Oz et al, (2018) on students of a public university, it was determined that only 26.6% of the students heard about HPV vaccine and in a similar study by Dönmez et al, (2018), it was determined that only 17.4% of the participants heard about the HPV vaccine and in the study conducted by Afonsa et al, (2017) with the medical students, it was also determined that only 40% of the students obtained information about the HPV vaccine. The literature and the results of the present study indicate that the rate of the students, studying in health field, to be aware of the HPV vaccine is higher.…”

“…It was determined in the present study that a limited number of the students were HPVvaccinated. In the previous studies, it was reported that the number of the vaccinated people is very low (Dönmez et al, 2018;Oz et al, 2018;Yörük, Açıkgöz and Ergör 2016;Chiang et al, 2016). In addition, half of the students stated that they were not vaccinated as they did not have enough knowledge about the HPV vaccine.…”

“…No âmbito da formação profissional, ressalta-se o fato de que, segundo estudos internacionais, [11][12] o conhecimento dos discentes de enfermagem ainda é insuficiente acerca da prevenção do CCU. Tal fato é preocupante, tendo em vista que o enfermeiro, desde a graduação, precisa se autoavaliar e refletir sobre o seu papel enquanto profissional da saúde, a fim de elaborar planos de cuidados baseados nas necessidades da população.…”

Background: The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the viruses that causes high mortality rates worldwide, and if not detected and treated early, it may lead to fatal complications such as cervical cancer and breast cancer. Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge of female students regarding the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and its vaccines at a selected University in the Limpopo Province, South Africa. Methods: A quantitative approach was adopted in this cross-sectional descriptive study. The target population was all female students residing in the university residences on campus, and a sample size of 310 students was determined. A systematic sampling technique was used to select the rooms of students, and a self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Data collected was analysed using SPSS version 26, and results were presented in the form of frequency and percentages. Results: Out of the 310 respondents, 56.8% had never heard about the HPV, while 43.2% had heard about the HPV and its vaccines. The majority (82.9%) of the respondents were uncertain about the two HPV vaccines available in South Africa, while only 1.9% of the respondents knew that anal cancer is one of the health problems related to HPV. The results of the study further showed that 56.8% of the respondents did not know whether the HPV vaccines prevented cervical cancer or not, while only 6.1% disagreed that the HPV vaccines prevented cervical cancer. Conclusion: The study concludes that the female students at the selected university had insufficient knowledge regarding HPV and its vaccines. Since cervical cancer is one of the major causes of death in low and middle-income countries, knowledge regarding HPV and its vaccines is crucial, especially among the young generation, in order to promote the effective prevention of cervical cancer. Community and university radios should have programs about health promotion issues informing the communities about HPV and its vaccines.
