20.500.12556/RUL-144907 Knowledge and awareness of nursing students regarding human papillomaviruses infection and vaccination Znanje i svest studenata sestrinstva o infekciji humanim papiloma virusom i vakcinaciji Background/Aim. Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are the most common cause of sexually transmitted infections. Most HPV infections are transient and asymptomatic. Routine vaccination against HPV is the best prophylaxis against HPV infection. The aim of the study was to determine knowledge and risk factors about HPV infection and the attitudes towards vaccination against HPV among nursing students. Methods. This cross-sectional study was conducted on a random sample of 175 nursing students. The students were divided into categories according to their year of studying. Statistical data analysis was done using the t-test and Mann-Whitney U test. Results. Most (93.1%) respondents knew that HPV infection might cause cervical cancer and that it was a sexually transmitted infection (80.0%). Only 31.4% were aware that HPV might cause head and neck cancer, and 22.9% were aware that smoking was a risk factor for HPV infection. Male respondents (p < 0.05) and third-year respondents (p < 0.05) were significantly aware that men could also be infected with HPV. Third-year respondents were significantly aware that early sexual intercourse increased the risk of HPV infection (p < 0.05) and that HPV infection could be asymptomatic (p < 0.05). Respondents under 26 years of age (p < 0.05) and first-year respondents (p < 0.05) were significantly aware that men could as well be vaccinated against HPV. Conclusion. The present study found that the respondents emphasized the importance of health education by nurses and vaccination against HPV. Due to the low vaccination rate of the population, preventive measures are needed to increase public awareness about vaccination against HPV, for which nurses are also responsible. Uvod/Cilj. Humani papiloma virusi (HPV) su najčešći uzrok polno prenosivih infekcija. Većina infekcija HPV je prolazna i asimptomatska. Rutinska vakcinacija protiv HPV je najbolja profilaksa od ove infekcije. Cilj studije bio je da se utvrdi znanje o HPV infekciji, faktori rizika i stav prema vakcinaciji protiv HPV među studentima sestrinstva. Metode. Studija preseka sprovedena je na slučajnom uzorku od 175 studenata sestrinstva. Studenti su svrstani u grupe prema godini studija koju pohađaju. Za statističku obradu korišćeni su testovi t-test i Mann-Whitney U test. Rezultati. Većina ispitanika (93,1%) znala je da HPV infekcija može izazvati rak grlića materice i da je to seksualno prenosiva infekcija (80,0%). Samo 31,4% ispitanika znalo je da HPV može izazvati rak glave i vrata, a 22,9% ispitanika je znalo da je pušenje faktor rizika od infekcije HPV. Ispitanici muškog pola (p < 0,05) i ispitanici treće godine studija (p < 0,05) bili su značajno svesniji da i muškarci mogu biti zaraženi HPV. Ispitanici treće godine studija su imali značajno veću svest o tome da rani seksualni odnos povećava rizik od infekcije HPV (p < 0,05) i da infekcija HPV može biti asimptomatska (p < 0,05). Ispitanici mlađi od 26 godina (p < 0,05) i ispitanici prve godine studija (p < 0,05) su imali svest o tome da se i muškarci mogu vakcinisati protiv HPV. Zaključak. Ispitanici su naglasili važnost zdravstvene edukacije medicinskih sestara i vakcinacije protiv HPV. Zbog lošeg obuhvata stanovništva vakcinacijom potrebne su preventivne mere za podizanje svesti javnosti o vakcinaciji protiv HPV, za šta su odgovorne i medicinske sestre. attitude to health humans knowledge nursing care papillomavirus Slovenia students vaccinaton odnos do zdravja ljudje znanje zdravstvena nega papiloma virus Slovenija študenti cepljenje true false true Angleški jezik Srbski jezik Članek v reviji 2023-03-22 13:08:05 2023-03-22 13:08:07 2023-03-23 03:34:36 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Str. 890-896 no. 9 Vol. 79 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2022-10-01 614.47:578.827 2406-0720 10.2298/VSP200727058M 146142979 VP_Mlinar_2022.pdf VP_Mlinar_2022.pdf 1 2585A2C397E1247B5D8398908632CC01 e21fcdd2d0d69ef2b19234411537b6254346a074e067860148f46859e33e7b7b 7f8a1518-c8ab-11ed-a314-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=167474 https://www.doiserbia.nb.rs/img/doi/0042-8450/2022/0042-84502100058M.pdf 1 205ecdd1-c8aa-11ed-a314-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=167473 Zdravstvena fakulteta 0 0 0
