“…The principal finding of this study showed that although the participants of the study had limited knowledge about HPV vaccine, majority of individuals were willing to vaccinate their child. This acceptance rate was consistent with the study findings of Nigeria (88.9%) [17], and Tanzania (93%) [21], but higher than rates noted in a South African (80%) study [12], Gondar (Northern Ethiopia) study (81.3%) [10], and Bench-Sheko zone, south-west Ethiopia (79.5%) study [15]. The highest vaccine acceptance rate in the present study could be partly due to the current national campaign for HPV vaccination in Ethiopia.…”

“…Four hundred thirty (430) samples were estimated by using single population proportion formula by taking 95% confidence interval, 4% margin of error, 79.5% proportion of HPV vaccine acceptance in Bench-Sheko zone, south-west Ethiopia [ 15 ] and adding up 10% non-response rate. Two-stage sampling technique was employed to recruit the participants for the study.…”

“…In a study conducted in Gondar (North-west Ethiopia), 81.3% accepted to vaccinate their daughters for HPV [ 10 ]. Another study in Bench-Sheko zone, south-west Ethiopia, reported that 79.5% of parents have accepted to vaccinate their daughters for HPV [ 15 ]. Both studies revealed that parental acceptance to vaccinate their daughters is affected by the knowledge and attitude of the parents.…”

“…Ethiopia launched HPV vaccine for the first time in 2018 for all 14 year old girls through a school-based approach and in health centers [9]. Nevertheless, studies reported that unsubstantiated rumors about side effects or adverse outcomes that are not related to the vaccine negatively impacted public trust and have led to suspension of the HPV vaccination program [10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

Background Cervical cancer is one of the most diagnosed and deadly cancers in women globally. Though vaccination is an effective way to reduce cervical cancer, people’s knowledge and acceptance of the vaccination remains a challenge in low and middle-income countries. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the level of knowledge and acceptance of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccination and its associated factors among parents of daughters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among parents or guardians whose daughters are in the age group of 9–17 years and residing in Akaki-Kalty sub-city in Addis Ababa. A multistage sampling technique was used to select the study participants (n = 430). Face-to-face interview was conducted by using a structured questionnaire. Factors associated with the acceptance of HPV vaccination was identified by multivariable binary logistic regression and expressed by adjusted odds ratio (aOR), and respective 95% confidence interval. Results Complete response was obtained from 422 (98.1%) of the participants and their mean age was 39.0 years (SD ± 9.9). Out of the study participants, 41.7% and 72.0% had poor knowledge on cervical cancer and HPV, respectively. More than a quarter (27.0%) of the participants has never heard about HPV vaccine. One-third (36.5%) of the participants had negative attitude towards the HPV vaccine. Overall, 94.3% of the study participants were willing to vaccinate their daughters for HPV. Vaccine acceptability was associated with higher monthly income (aOR = 2.48, 95% CI 1.08–6.34), good knowledge on HPV (aOR = 2.32, 95% CI 1.56–4.87) and the vaccine (aOR = 2.24, 95% CI 1.12–8.60), and positive attitude towards the vaccine (aOR = 5.03, 95% CI 1.63—9.56). Conclusions The overall HPV vaccine acceptance was high. However, two out of five and one-thirds of the parents had poor knowledge on cervical cancer and negative attitude towards the HPV vaccine, respectively. Higher monthly income, good knowledge on HPV and the vaccine, and positive attitude towards the vaccine were associated with acceptance of HPV vaccination. To ensure sustainable acceptance of HPV vaccination, it is crucial to increase the community awareness in a sustainable manner.

“…Though Ethiopian women are willing to vaccinate their children for HPV 54,55 still there are challenges that affect its effective utilization. Ineffectiveness of the recently provided vaccine (HPV2 and HPV4) for other prevalent strains of HPV (HPV‐52, 56,57 HPV‐56, 57,58 HPV‐58, 57 and HPV‐31 57 ) in Ethiopia, high vaccine costs, inadequate delivery system, and lack of community involvement to create awareness about CC and early screening tools are challenges that hinder effective utilization HPV vaccination in Ethiopia 31,40,59–61 .…”

Cervical cancer screening uptake and determinant factors among women in Ambo town, Western Oromia, Ethiopia: Community‐based cross‐sectional study

et al. 2021

Background: Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related death in Ethiopian women. About 77.6% of women died of 6294 new cases reported in 2019. Early screening for cervical cancer has substantially reduced morbidity and mortality attributed to it. In Ethiopia, most of the women visit the health facilities at the late stage of the disease in which the offered intervention is not promising. Therefore, we aimed to assess the level of cervical cancer screening uptake and its determinant among women of Ambo town, Ethiopia. Methods: Community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 422 women aged 20-65 years. An interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25. Estimates were presented using an odds ratio (OR) with 95% CI. Statistical significance was declared at a p value of <0.05. Results:In the present study, 392 women were participated giving a response rate of 93%. Only 8.7% (34) of the study participants were received cervical cancer screening in their lifetime. Being in the age group of 30-39 years (AOR = 3.2, 95% CI: 1.22, 8.36), having cervical cancer-related discussions with a healthcare provider (AOR = 3.5; 95% CI: 1.17, 10.7), and knowing the availability of cervical cancer screening service (AOR = 2.8; 95% CI: 1.03, 7.87) were significantly associated with uptake of cervical cancer screening. Conclusion:In this study, cervical cancer screening uptake is very low. Our study identifies clues for determinants of cervical cancer screening uptake. Thus, further studies using a better study design might be helpful to explore determinants of low utilization of CC screening services and suggest an appropriate intervention that increases CC screening uptake in the study area.

The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is the primary causative agent of cervical cancer. Vaccination against the HPV infection is an effective prevention measure for HPV-related diseases. This study aimed to assess parents’ willingness to vaccinate their daughters with Human Papillomavirus vaccine and associated factors in Debre Tabor town. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among parents of daughters in Debre Tabor town, and a cluster sampling technique was used to select 738 study participants. A structured and interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. Data were entered into EPI data version 4.6 and exported to SPSS version 26 for analysis. Multivariable logistic regression was done and a p-value of ≤ 0.05 was used to declare the level of significance. In this study, parents’ willingness for HPV vaccination was found to be 79.10% (95% CI: 76.00, 82.00). Parents having media exposure, had good knowledge of HPV infection, and HPV vaccine, positive attitude, and positive perceived behavioral control toward the HPV vaccine had statistically significant association with willingness for the HPV vaccination of their daughters. Parents’ willingness to HPV vaccination for their daughters was higher compared with a previous study done in the setting. Parental knowledge and their beliefs on HPV vaccination, and media exposure play an important role in the HPV vaccination of adolescents. Strengthening community-based education and effective promotion through multimedia on HPV infection and its prevention, addressing parental safety concerns and promoting their positive beliefs about the vaccine are important to increase parents’ willingness.
