“…Health care providers, as professionals, are the transmitters of medical information to the audience. Therefore, their knowledge and perceptions are important factors in influencing vaccine acceptability [43]. Many studies emphasized the need for more education for providers on HPV-related topics [14,25,27].…”

The limited access to vaccination and vaccine hesitancy are prevalent even among health care providers in less developed countries. This study assessed the relationships between (i) health care providers’ knowledge on human papillomavirus (HPV) and vaccination for HPV and (ii) their perceptions, demographic characteristics, and the use of information sources. In this large-scale online survey, participants (n = 1394) were recruited from hospitals of three big cities in China (Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen). Descriptive analysis, the chi-square test, and logistic regression analysis were used to answer different research questions. Health care providers’ overall knowledge scores are consistent with their perceptions about HPV and HPV vaccine. Occupation, specialty, the type of hospitals, and the frequency of participants’ search for information using professional informational sources are the most significant characteristics that are closely associated with their knowledge of HPV and its vaccine. Targeted educational interventions are needed to improve health care providers’ engagement in the promotion of the HPV vaccine. Such interventions, besides increasing knowledge, should also emphasize the importance of appropriate information sources to acquire information.

“…These results were similar to those in some other studies worldwide applying the same intervention approaches for short periods of time. 13 There should be a plan on sustaining the integration of the intervention into the existing comprehensive health-care program, as well as monitoring and supporting the intervention sites for longer periods of time in order to make expected behavioral changes.…”

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is identified as the leading cause of cervical cancer which is the second most common cancer of females in the world. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a community-based intervention on knowledge and practice of HPV prevention among married females aged 15 to 49 in rural areas, Vietnam. This study used a quasi-experimental design with serial cross-sectional surveys at one intervention commune (Chi Linh, Hai Duong) and one control commune at other province (Thanh Thuy, Phu Tho). Number of participants in these surveys were respectively 317 and 320 in Chi Linh and 334 and 335 in Thanh Thuy at pre- and postintervention period. The time of intervention was 15 months from April 2015 to June 2016. The study used behavior models to build up a logical framework for identifying related factors of knowledge and practice among females and developing intervention strategies. A difference-in-differences analysis approach was used to evaluate the effects of this intervention program. The study identified that the intervention had a significant change of knowledge of HPV prevention among married females after the intervention (odds ratio = 3.16, 95% confidence interval: 1.3-7.66) after adjusting for other confounders but no any significant change of practice of HPV prevention (eg, condom use, numbers of sexual partner, HPV vaccination, and screening test for cervical cancer). This might be caused by a short intervention program that did not lead to changes of practice but only change of knowledge.

“…It is consistent with the studies which have indicated 74% in nurses and 86.8% in doctors, 86.7% in nurses did not go for pap smear. 17,18 A study conducted among female doctors and nurses found out that only 13.9% of them had regular pap smear done. 19 It is obvious that the number of women having Pap smear tests is very low, even among health care personnel.…”

Background: Cervical cancer is the second most common cause of cancer in females Worldwide and nearly 85% of the cervical cancer cases are diagnosed in developing countries. The health care providers can play an important role in promoting cervical cancer screening and knowledge about HPV vaccination. So this study was conducted to assess the knowledge, attitude and practices regarding cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination and to analyze the factors influencing the knowledge about HPV vaccination, among nursing staff.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 143 nurses and 75nursing students (total 218) at ESIPGIMSR MGM Hospital, Parel Mumbai. Data was collected using Questionnaire, designed based on the study objectives.Results: 73 (33.49%) of the nurses did received education on cervical cancer and HPV in the past. Most of the nurses, 184 (84.4%) considered that they were at no risk of cervical cancer. 143 (65.60%) nurses knew that Pap smear can be done to screen patients. Out of 141 married nurses, only 39 (27.28%) regularly had a gynaecological examination and 105 (74.47%) had never done Pap smear. In addition, 119 (54.59%) participants did not know at what age Pap smear should commence. Only 73 (33.49%) nurses knew about the route of transmission of HPV and 57 (26.15%) knew about HPV vaccine. 215 (98.62%) nurses did not receive an HPV vaccine.Conclusions: The nurses and nursing students did not have prior adequate education on cervical cancer, HPV, and vaccine and the desired level of knowledge on risk factors and signs of cervical cancer and prevention of the disease.
