Data collection form was prepared by the researcher and collected by face-to-face interview technique. Chi-Square test was used in statistical analyse. It was observed that 47% of the mothers have not heard about HPV but about 67% of mothers HPV vaccination. It was seen that 91% have known that HPV caused cervical cancer and 88% of the mothers have heard pap smear test, but 56% have not undergone the test. 88% of the mothers have heard pap smear test, but 56% have not undergone the test. 15% of the mothers wanted to be informed about the reliability, 9% of side effects, 14% protection level and 12% of protection duration of the vaccine. When education status of the mothers and whether they give information to their children about health issues were examined, it was increased about hearing HPV vaccine and there was a signifant difference about giving knowledge rate their children.

ÖzetAraştırma 10-15 yaş arası kız çocuğu olan annelerin rahim ağzı kanseri ve HPV aşısı hakkında bilgi, tutum, davranışlarını belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı. Araştırma tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tiptedir. Araştırmaya bir üniversite hastanesinin polikliniğine başvuran ve 10-15 yaş arası kız çocuğu olan 100 anne alındı. Veriler araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan katılımcı bilgi formuyla yüz yüze görüşme yöntemiyle toplandı. İstatiksel analizde ki-kare testi kullanıldı. Annelerin %47’sinin HPV enfeksiyonunu daha önce duymadığı ancak %67’sinin HPV aşısını daha önce duyduğu görüldü. Annelerin %91’inin HPV’ nin rahim ağzı kanserine neden olduğunu bildiği görülürken, %88’inin rahim ağzı kanserini ve papsmear testini duyduğu, ancak %56’sının pap smear testini yaptırmadığı belirlendi. Annelerin %15’i aşının güvenilirliği, %9’u yan etkileri, %14’ü koruyuculuk düzeyi, %12’si koruma süresi hakkında bilgilendirilmek istediğini ifade etti. Annelerin eğitim durumlarına göre çocuklarına sağlık konusunda bilgi verip vermediklerine bakıldığında annelerin eğitim seviyesi arttıkça HPV aşısını duyma oranlarının artışı ve çocuklarını bilgilendirme oranları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptanmıştır. Çalışan annelerin özellikle genel sağlık ile ilgili konularda bilgi verme ve HPV ile ilgili bilgi durumları arasında da anlamlı fark bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak, annelere rahim ağzı kanseri, HPV ve HPV aşısı ile ilgili eğitim programlarının planlanması ve bilgi durumlarının artması için de yaygınlaştırılması önerilmektedir.
