Objective:The aim of this study was to assess the awareness level of women about cervical smears, human papilloma virus (HPV), and HPV vaccine in a rural city in the central part of Anatolia.Materials and Methods:A total of 553 patients were included in the study. A 16 item questionnaire developed by our group was completed by all participants. The first part of the questionnaire collected the demographic and socioeconomic information of the participants. In the second part, it was questioned whether this information had a relationship with HPV, HPV vaccine awareness, and cervical screening tests. In the third part, the participants were asked questions related to the acceptance of an HPV vaccine for themselves and their willingness to give consent to have their children vaccinated.Results:In our study, it was found that HPV awareness significantly increased with the level of education, occupational status and total monthly family income (p<0.001). There was a significant increase in HPV vaccine awareness as the parity (p=0.016), level of education (p=0.025), and occupational status (p=0.001) increased. Having a Pap smear significantly increased with age, income, and number of parity (p<0.001).Conclusion:Our study revealed that only 9.8% of the women had knowledge about HPV, the majority of the women reported that they would accept vaccination for themselves and for their children. These results indicate that physicians should pay attention to increasing the awareness about HPV.

“…Women's knowledge and educational interventions prevent HPV transmission, increase the acceptability of HPV vaccine, and thus help to improve HPV vaccine coverage [59][60][61][62]. Video education has been reported to increase the willingness to accept the HPV vaccine by about 20% in young women [61].…”

Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines, which were introduced in many countries in the past decade, have shown promising results in decreasing HPV infection and related diseases, such as warts and precancerous lesions. In this review, we present the updated information about current HPV vaccines, focusing on vaccine coverage and efficacy. In addition, pan-gender vaccination and current clinical trials are also discussed. Currently, more efforts should be put into increasing the vaccine’s coverage, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Provision of education on HPV and vaccination is one of the most important methods to achieve this. Vaccines that target HPV types not included in current vaccines are the next stage in vaccine development. In the future, all HPV-related cancers, such as head and neck cancer, and anal cancer, should be tracked and evaluated, especially in countries that have introduced pan-gender vaccination programs. Therapeutic vaccines, in combination with other cancer treatments, should continue to be investigated.

“…Despite the majority of statements related to the knowledge about HPV, vaccination and cervical cancer could be understood correctly by the most of respondents, most of respondents did not know the fact that the number of HPV infection in Bandung, Purwakarta and Karawang is considered to be relatively low with an annual number of 2–7 new cases, 12 compared with the prevalence of HPV infection among Indonesian women at 5.2% and total HPV infection in West Java at 15,635 cases. 5 , 17 Another previous study also reported the low awareness level of Indonesian women regarding cervical cancer issues in social media, including the annual incidence of cervical cancer. 18 Furthermore, the majority of respondents strongly agreed that preventive action is better than treatment and vaccination is good for children’s health.…”

Background Cervical cancer is the second-highest cause of death in women with cancer, which is mostly caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, specifically HPV 16 and 18. Next to Pap smear and visual inspection with acetic acid, HPV vaccination is highly recommended to support preventive measures. Objective This study aimed to determine parental acceptance of HPV vaccination in districts with high prevalence of cervical cancer and different levels of household income in West Java, Indonesia by taking several factors into account. Methods A questionnaire was delivered to 286 parents who met the major inclusion criteria of having daughters at 5th or 6th grade of elementary schools in three selected districts: Bandung, Purwakarta and Karawang. In particular, logistic regression analysis was applied to investigate the correlation of acceptance towards HPV vaccination with sociodemographic factors. Results Respondents in Bandung, Purwakarta and Karawang were willing to pay for HPV vaccine at a price range of US$ 1.38–20.69, US$ 0.07–34.48, and US$ 1.38–6.90, respectively. In addition, respondents’ spouse was the key person influencing their decision to vaccinate their children. Conclusion Education level and health beliefs toward cervical cancer have significant correlation ( p -value <0.05) with acceptance towards HPV vaccination.
