Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge and attitudes of nursing students about human papilloma virus infection and its vaccines. This descriptive study was carried out at the School of Nursing of Gulhane Military Medical Academy between February 01, and March 10, 2010. The universe of the study consisted of 314 volunteered nursing students. A questionnaire form and HPV knowledge evaluation form developed by the researchers were used for data collection. Only 55.7% and 54.8% of the participants stated that they had heard about HPV and its vaccines previously, respectively. Mean knowledge scores in the first, second, third and fourth class nursing students were 2.80±1.08, 3.66±1.22, 5.20±0.87, 6.42±1.37, respectively. There were statistically significant differences between the classes of the students in terms of mean knowledge scores. Twenty eight percent and 61.1% of the nursing students stated that they wished to be vaccinated, and were hesitant about HPV vaccination, respectively. Eighty six point seven percent of the students who did not want to be vaccinated stated that they did not want as they did not have enough information about HPV vaccines. Including more data about HPV, cervical cancer, prevention ways and associated strategies into the curriculums of both pregraduate and postgraduate education would contribute to both the nurses and nursing students to have more current information about this issue.

Key words: Nursing students, HPV vaccines, human papilloma virus



Hemşirelik yüksek okulu öğrencilerinin human papilloma virüs enfeksiyonu ve aşıları ile ilgili bilgi ve tutumlarının belirlenmesi

Özet
Bu araştırmanın amacı, hemşirelik yüksek okulu öğrencilerinin human papilloma virus (HPV) enfeksiyonu ve aşıları ile ilgili bilgi ve tutumlarının belirlenmesidir. Tanımlayıcı tipte planlanan bu çalışma, 1 Şubat ile 10 Mart 2010 tarihleri arasında GATA Hemşirelik Yüksek Okulu’nda yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın örneklemini 314 gönüllü hemşirelik yüksek okulu öğrencisi oluşturmuştur. Verilerin toplanmasında, araştırmacılar tarafindan geliştirilen soru formu ve HPV bilgi değerlendirme formu kullanılmıştır. Katılımcıların sadece %55.7’si HPV’yi ve %54.8’i HPV aşılarını daha önce duyduklarını belirtmişlerdir. Birinci, ikinci, üçüncü ve dördüncü sınıf öğrencilerinin bilgi puanı ortalamaları sırasıyla 2.80±1.08, 3.66±1.22, 5.20±0.87, 6.42±1.37’dir. Öğrencilerin bilgi puanı ortalamaları açısından sınıflar arasındaki farklılığın istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin %28.0’i aşı yaptırmak istediklerini, %61.1’i HPV aşısı yaptırmak konusunda kararsız olduklarını belirtmişlerdir. Aşı yaptırmak istemeyen öğrencilerin %86.7’si HPV aşıları konusunda yeteri kadar bilgi sahibi olmadıkları için aşı yaptırmak istemediklerini belirtmişlerdir. Hem mezuniyet öncesinde müfredatta, hem de mezuniyet sonrası hizmet içi eğitim programlarında, HPV, servikal kanser, korunma yolları ve ilişkili konulara daha fazla yer verilmesinin, hem hemşirelik öğrencilerinin, hem de hemşirelerin bu konu ile ilgili güncel bilgiye sahip olmalarına katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Hemşirelik öğrencileri, HPV aşıları, human papilloma virus
