ABSTRACT

The objective of this dissertation was to explore the awareness of human papillomavirus (HPV) and HPV vaccine, medical beliefs about HPV infection, and vaccination willingness of female college students in Guangxi, to analyze the factors influencing female students' willingness to receive HPV vaccination, and to propose countermeasures and recommendations on various aspects to promote scientific HPV vaccination of female college students, while adding new evidence and data to the knowledge base in this area, which will provide a solid theoretical foundation for subsequent research on intervention strategies. The questionnaire was distributed via WeChat and QQ, using the Health Belief Model as the theoretical framework and the questionnaire developed in previous work as the research instrument. The content of the questionnaire included general demographic characteristics of the study population, basic knowledge of HPV and HPV vaccine, and basic ways to obtain HPV and HPV vaccine. By using the statistical software package SPSS 26.0 for data description and statistical analysis, the HPV vaccination situation could be analyzed and appropriate recommendations made. A total of 210 questionnaires were distributed and 205 valid questionnaires were received, with a response rate of 97.61%, which is high and meets the theoretical requirements. The study results show that the knowledge level of female students about human papillomavirus (HPV) and HPV vaccine in this study is 82.14%, and the knowledge of HPV is high, as well as the number of female students who have been vaccinated with HPV vaccine. The percentage of female students who were vaccinated with HPV vaccine was 42.34%.
