“…Although college may be an opportune time to reach young adults for HPV vaccination, obstacles, including navigating parental influence, independent decision-making, and lack of awareness of vaccination status may impede vaccination during this time [17]. The perceived risk of HPV has emerged as a significant mediator in the uptake of the HPV vaccine in female college students [18]; a study in France showed different perceptions of the risks and benefits between mother and girl [19]. Wilson et al showed that being confident in their ability to initiate and guide vaccine conversations with patients and parents ensures a high uptake of the HPV vaccine in the future in the general population [20].…”

The aim of this study was to assess vaccination perception and the prevalence of the overall vaccination coverage (VC) and associated factors among university students. An online study was conducted among students of a university in Rouen (Normandy), France, in January 2021, with questions about the VC and perception of the vaccines. The convenience sample included 3089 students (response rate of 10.3%), with a mean age of 20.3 (SD = 1.9). The overall VC was 27.8% (39.2% for the healthcare students (HCS) and 21.3% for the non-HCS; p < 0.0001). Confidence (efficacy and security) was lower than the conviction of usefulness. The characteristics associated with VC were having the intention to be vaccinated against COVID-19, high perceptions of usefulness for their own health, having confidence in the vaccines’ efficacy and security, and a high estimated level of knowledge about vaccination. Education about the general interest and mechanism of action of vaccines could improve the perception of vaccines. Then, it is relevant to improve vaccination literacy and confidence in university students, who, as future adults and parents, will vaccinate themselves and their children; as well as healthcare students who are future healthcare workers and, therefore, will vaccinate and counsel their patients.

“…Participants were asked to indicate “how interactive the web page is” and “how the page allows you to perform interactive actions” on a 7-point Likert scale (7 = very much, 1 = not at all). Similarly, the effectiveness of the information presentation manipulation was measured using items adapted from Zhang and Wang [ 8 ]. Participants rated whether the information they read was supportive of obtaining the HPV vaccine using (a) narratives, for example, lay-reports or messages containing personal experiences, or (b) data visualization, for example, encouraging vaccination by providing and explaining statistical evidence or graphs (1 = narrative to 7 = data visualization).…”

“…Such women feel shielded from embarrassment and being judged when accessing health information online since it is a private and anonymous platform [ 7 ]. Against this background, governments and mass media companies now provide information related to HPV vaccination targeting women through eHealth programs with aim of encouraging them to accept HPV vaccination [ 8 ].…”

Background Currently no study has investigated whether Web-based interactive technology can influence females to adopt healthy behaviors. We investigated how and under what conditions do Web-based interactivity influence vaccination intentions among young females. Methods In this randomized controlled trail, we conduct a 2 (mode of information presentation: narrative vs. data visualization) × 2 (interactivity: interactive information vs. noninteractive information) between-groups design. A total of 180 Chinese female undergraduate students who had never received HPV vaccination were randomly allocated to 4 experimental groups. Each participant was assessed for their information avoidance behavior and vaccination intention. The hypotheses were tested using a moderated mediation model. All analyses were performed using SPSS version 22.0 with probability set at 0.05 alpha level. Results The indirect relationship between interactivity and behavioral intention though information avoidance was moderated by the mode of presentation. Under the narrative condition, interactivity (vs. non-interactivity) decreased information avoidance and increased the intention to receive HPV vaccination (B = -.23, SE = 0.10, P < 0.05). However, under data visualization condition, no significant difference was observed between the effects of interactivity and non-interactivity on intention. Conclusion The findings suggest that when young females experience difficulties in manipulating or understanding HPV-related information, their information-avoidance behavior is likely to increase. Rather than use interactive statistical or graphical information, young females are more likely to be persuaded by interactive narratives.

“…El VPH de alto riesgo (VPH-AR) es el principal agente etiológico del cáncer del cuello uterino, el cual causa la mortalidad de mujeres especialmente en países en vía de desarrollo (Grandahl et al, 2019). Un gran estudio multinacional de cáncer de cuello uterino encontró que más del 90% de todos los cánceres de cérvix son causados por 8 tipos de VPH: los tipos 16, 18 y 45 están relacionados en el 94% de los adenocarcinomas cervicales siendo el genotipo VPH 16 el de mayor magnitud de riesgo de cáncer de cérvix (Zhang & Wang, 2019).…”

El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar el conocimiento sobre el Virus del Papiloma Humano (VPH) en estudiantes universitarios de la ciudad de Guayaquil, Se realizó una investigación con alcance descriptivo y transaccional, con una población constituida por 3000 estudiantes universitarios, y una muestra probabilística de 332. La técnica empleada fué la encuesta y el instrumento de recolección de la información, un cuestionario con 15 preguntas. El conocimiento de esta enfermedad se determinó mediante una escala de valoración en las siguientes categorías: Insuficiente: de 1-3; Regular: 4-6; Bueno: 7-9; Muy Bueno; 10-12 y Excelente: 13-15. Se realizó la prueba de Kolmogorov- Smirnov para determinar la normalidad de la distribución de datos y la prueba del Chi-cuadrado para la comprobación de las hipótesis planteadas, los datos se procesaron con el paquete estadístico SPSS 21,0. Se concluye que existe una asociación significativa entre el grado de conocimiento del papiloma humano con la edad y el sexo de los estudiantes universitarios.
