This book was released on 2021 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Integrative Review Project searched relevant literature and conducted research to discover factors hindering HPV vaccination among children and young adults in America and interventions to increase HPV vaccination among individuals in this group. The importance of the HPV vaccination cannot be understated; the HPV vaccine is the most effective approach for preventing infections and decreasing risk of HPV-associated conditions such as cervical, oral pharyngeal, and rectal cancer. In the United States, HPV inoculation uptake is reported to be less than 80% for the initial dosage, and less than 40% of young males and females complete all the series dosage of the HPV vaccination. The HPV vaccination has been approved since 2006, with many countries undertaking measures and interventions to increase vaccination. HPV vaccination requires multiple shots, offered in either two or three doses; the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends an 80% uptake. The purpose of the project was to searched current literature to find out why HPV vaccination is lower in the United States in comparison to other high-income countries. The search included multiple databases: CINAHL, a conceptual framework that supports methodological rigor, PRISMA data chronology flow chart is used for the processing of the data review. The results show that increasing healthcare providers’ awareness, public education, health literacy awareness, and partnership within the healthcare system can improve HPV vaccination delivery. The project suggests that community awareness that the HPV vaccine is safe and crucial in preventing HPV infection can significantly increase HPV vaccination uptake in the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a universal health problem that is transmitted sexually, affecting both male and female. Evidence indicates that about 79 million people are affected in the United States. Every year, about 14 million Americans are infected with HPV (CDC, 2016c). It is associated with multiple diseases such as cervical cancer, vaginal and vulvar cancers, anal cancers, throat cancer and penile cancers. A safe and efficient vaccine has been approved for both boys and girls. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention announced that teens and young adult under age 26 are at a particular risk for HPV. It is essential to start the vaccination series between 9 and 17 years of age. Parental and caregivers acceptance of HPV vaccine for their children has been a problem. Despite, the HPV vaccine promotions and availability, the vaccination rates of HPV continue to low. The focus should be on parents and caregivers because parental attitudes, beliefs, knowledge, intention to vaccinate and behaviors appear to contribute to low parental acceptance of the vaccine (Gamble et al., 2010). Parental and caregiver education improved parental knowledge, intention to vaccinate and attitude towards HPV vaccination. The purpose of this project was to develop an evidence-based parental and caregiver educational intervention to improve knowledge, intention to vaccinate and attitude towards HPV vaccine, hoping to influence parents and caregivers of children ages 9 to 17 to consent to the HPV vaccine. Parental education as an intervention, focusing on HPV and HPV vaccine was found to have positive impact on parental knowledge, intention to vaccinate and parental attitude toward HPV vaccine. There was a 40%, 73%, and 33% improvement respectively on parental knowledge, attitude, and intention to vaccinate which was higher than the benchmark. Key words: Human Papillomavirus, vaccine, parent education, knowledge, attitude, intention" -- Abstract

Download or read book Investing in the Health and Well Being of Young Adults written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young adulthood - ages approximately 18 to 26 - is a critical period of development with long-lasting implications for a person's economic security, health and well-being. Young adults are key contributors to the nation's workforce and military services and, since many are parents, to the healthy development of the next generation. Although 'millennials' have received attention in the popular media in recent years, young adults are too rarely treated as a distinct population in policy, programs, and research. Instead, they are often grouped with adolescents or, more often, with all adults. Currently, the nation is experiencing economic restructuring, widening inequality, a rapidly rising ratio of older adults, and an increasingly diverse population. The possible transformative effects of these features make focus on young adults especially important. A systematic approach to understanding and responding to the unique circumstances and needs of today's young adults can help to pave the way to a more productive and equitable tomorrow for young adults in particular and our society at large. Investing in The Health and Well-Being of Young Adults describes what is meant by the term young adulthood, who young adults are, what they are doing, and what they need. This study recommends actions that nonprofit programs and federal, state, and local agencies can take to help young adults make a successful transition from adolescence to adulthood. According to this report, young adults should be considered as a separate group from adolescents and older adults. Investing in The Health and Well-Being of Young Adults makes the case that increased efforts to improve high school and college graduate rates and education and workforce development systems that are more closely tied to high-demand economic sectors will help this age group achieve greater opportunity and success. The report also discusses the health status of young adults and makes recommendations to develop evidence-based practices for young adults for medical and behavioral health, including preventions. What happens during the young adult years has profound implications for the rest of the life course, and the stability and progress of society at large depends on how any cohort of young adults fares as a whole. Investing in The Health and Well-Being of Young Adults will provide a roadmap to improving outcomes for this age group as they transition from adolescence to adulthood.
Download or read book Meta Ethnography written by George W. Noblit and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1988-02 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can ethnographic studies be generalized, in contrast to concentrating on the individual case? Noblit and Hare propose a new method for synthesizing from qualitative studies: meta-ethnography. After citing the criteria to be used in comparing qualitative research projects, the authors define the ways these can then be aggregated to create more cogent syntheses of research. Using examples from numerous studies ranging from ethnographic work in educational settings to the Mead-Freeman controversy over Samoan youth, Meta-Ethnography offers useful procedural advice from both comparative and cumulative analyses of qualitative data. This provocative volume will be read with interest by researchers and students in qualitative research methods, ethnography, education, sociology, and anthropology. "After defining metaphor and synthesis, these authors provide a step-by-step program that will allow the researcher to show similarity (reciprocal translation), difference (refutation), or similarity at a higher level (lines or argument synthesis) among sample studies....Contain(s) valuable strategies at a seldom-used level of analysis." --Contemporary Sociology "The authors made an important contribution by reframing how we think of ethnography comparison in a way that is compatible with the new developments in interpretive ethnography. Meta-Ethnography is well worth consulting for the problem definition it offers." --The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease "This book had to be written and I am pleased it was. Someone needed to break the ice and offer a strategy for summarizing multiple ethnographic studies. Noblit and Hare have done a commendable job of giving the research community one approach for doing so. Further, no one else can now venture into this area of synthesizing qualitative studies without making references to and positioning themselves vis-a-vis this volume." -Educational Studies
Download or read book Contributing Factors for Human Papillomavirus HPV Vaccine Acceptance Among African American Young Adults written by Jennifer Anne Sledge and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an epidemic of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the United States. Populations most affected by STDs are young adults, particularly those living in a high risk environment such as a college or university. African American's are disproportionately at risk for STD's. One of the most prevalent STD's on college campuses today is the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Genital HPV is a sexually transmitted disease which is primarily known for causing genital warts and cervical cancer. In 2007, the first vaccine to prevent HPV was approved. The purpose of this study was to investigate the contributing factors for HPV vaccine acceptance among African American young adults. The Health Belief Model (HBM) served as the theoretical framework to guide this study. Findings revealed that among African American young adults, perceived susceptibility to HPV, perceived benefits of HPV and perceived barriers to HPV vaccination were found to be significant factors for HPV vaccination intention. Findings further reveal a significant difference in knowledge of HPV between men and women, with women showing higher knowledge scores. Additionally, African American young adults with higher traditional masculinity ideology were less likely to accept the HPV vaccine. Findings add to the current state of the science regarding HPV knowledge and contributing factors for HPV vaccine acceptance among African American young adults.

Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2020 in the subject Health - Children and adolescents, Clark University, language: English, abstract: This study seekts to determine the factors associate with uptake of human papilloma virus vaccine in Bukomansimbi Sub-County, Bukomansimbi district. The ministry of health Uganda adopted WHO guideline on routine immunization which was included in UNEPI and ensures that all girls at the age 11-15 to receive full dose in order to have full protection how ever since the introduction of the HPV vaccine in November 2015. There has been low uptake of the vaccine in Uganda with 33,6% prevalence among women combined with low screening uptake , this lead country being one of the highest cervical cancer with incidence rate of 47,5 per 100,000 per year. At Bukomansimbi Sub County the target population of girl to be vaccinated according to the Bukomansimbi medical center records was 200 girls in the age bracket, many girls do not complete their doses as shown by the vaccination records book, girls normally hide a way during the time of vaccination and parents discourage their girls from receiving the HPV vaccine due to ignorance. Since infection by HPV is the leading predisposing factor and cause of cancers of the cervix, vagina, and vulva in women this leads to the high expenditures for the family to spend on medical expenses, government on the other hand loses too much to treat.
Download or read book Three Shots at Prevention written by Keith Wailoo and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2007, Texas governor Rick Perry issued an executive order requiring that all females entering sixth grade be vaccinated against the human papillomavirus (HPV), igniting national debate that echoed arguments heard across the globe over public policy, sexual health, and the politics of vaccination. Three Shots at Prevention explores the contentious disputes surrounding the controversial vaccine intended to protect against HPV, the most common sexually transmitted infection. When the HPV vaccine first came to the market in 2006, religious conservatives decried the government's approval of the vaccine as implicitly sanctioning teen sex and encouraging promiscuity while advocates applauded its potential to prevent 4,000 cervical cancer deaths in the United States each year. Families worried that laws requiring vaccination reached too far into their private lives. Public health officials wrestled with concerns over whether the drug was too new to be required and whether opposition to it could endanger support for other, widely accepted vaccinations. Many people questioned the aggressive marketing campaigns of the vaccine's creator, Merck & Co. And, since HPV causes cancers of the cervix, vulva, vagina, penis, and anus, why was the vaccine recommended only for females? What did this reveal about gender and sexual politics in the United States? With hundreds of thousands of HPV-related cancer deaths worldwide, how did similar national debates in Europe and the developing world shape the global possibilities of cancer prevention? This volume provides insight into the deep moral, ethical, and scientific questions that must be addressed when sexual and social politics confront public health initiatives in the United States and around the world.
Download or read book Does a Customized Website Affect HPV Vaccine Use Among Latino Adolescents and Young Adults written by Amanda F. Dempsey and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BACKGROUND: Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes a number of cancers and other diseases, several of which disproportionally affect Latinos. Unfortunately, Latinos also have poor uptake of HPV vaccines, which prevent HPV-associated diseases. There is a paucity of research on interventions to increase HPV vaccination among Latinos, which our work sought to address. OBJECTIVES: The objectives of the project were to (1) use community input to create a web-based educational intervention for Latino young adults (aged 18-26) and parents of Latino adolescents (aged 9-17) that provided individually and culturally tailored information about HPV for Latinos; (2) compare the impact of the intervention vs an untailored web-based educational intervention based on the HPV Vaccine Information Sheet from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, vs usual care (individualized physician discussion of the vaccine and/or receipt of a paper version of the on HPV Vaccine Information Sheet) on vaccine use among young adults and adolescents. METHODS: In phase I, community input representing end-users of our intervention created the intervention for Latinos. In phase II, we evaluated this new intervention, called CHICOS (Combatting HPV Infection and Cancers), in a 3-armed, randomized controlled trial conducted in the waiting rooms of 5 family medicine practices serving mainly Latinos. We assessed the relative efficacy of CHICOS vs an untailored intervention, both of which were delivered via iPad, vs usual care for their impact on HPV vaccine uptake among adolescent and young adult Latinos. Eligible participants were English- or Spanish-speaking young adult patients (aged 18-26 years) or parents of Latino adolescents (aged 9-17 years) who reported not yet completing the 3-dose HPV vaccine series (ie, 0, 1, or 2 doses). Data on the primary outcomes--6 different measures of HPV vaccine uptake--came from the clinics' medical records and the statewide immunization registry. The primary analyses were 2-way comparisons between arms (ie, tailored vs untailored, tailored vs control, untailored vs control), stratified by adolescent vs young adult vaccination. We used multiple imputation to account for missing data and analyzed data using an intent-to-treat (ITT) approach. Secondary outcomes included changes in vaccination intention from before to after viewing the iPad materials (tailored and untailored arms only), time between study enrollment and HPV vaccine doses received (all arms), and patterns of utilization of the tailored and untailored websites. RESULTS: Significant Latino community input through a series of 6 focus group and quarterly meetings with a community advisory board in phase I was used to create CHICOS. Phase II enrolled 1294 parents and young adults. In the ITT analyses, nearly all vaccination outcomes assessed in 2-way comparisons demonstrated no statistically significant differences between groups. The 1 exception was completion of the series among adolescents who entered the study with at least 1 dose. In this analysis, the tailored group performed significantly better than the untailored group (odds ratio [OR], 2.0; 95% CI, 1.1-3.8) but there were no statistically significant differences in completing the 3-dose series among this subgroup when the tailored intervention was compared against usual care (OR, 1.6; 95% CI, 0.8-3.2). Few young adults received HPV doses. Individuals in the untailored arm took a statistically nonsignificant longer time to receive vaccine doses than those in the untailored or usual care arms. The untailored and tailored interventions significantly improved vaccination intention from baseline to postintervention; the amount of change was the same in the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS: Neither the tailored intervention nor the untailored intervention improved HPV vaccination outcomes in adolescents and young adults. In young adults, the rate of HPV vaccination was uniformly low across the 3 study arms, resulting in high rates of missing data.

Download or read book College Students Attitudes Toward Human Papillomavirus Vaccination written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted virus in the world. Although HPV vaccine is an adolescent vaccine, a ‘catch-up’ vaccine is also recommended for 13 to 26 years-old females who have not been vaccinated previously and 13 to 21 years-old males who have not been vaccinated previously. The majority of Americans, however, reach adulthood without receiving the recommended HPV vaccine doses. Increasing the HPV vaccination series uptake requires theory-driven empirical understanding of factors influencing HPV-related decisions among this population. Based on the Social Cognitive Theory, the current study assessed the interaction between personal and environmental determinants of vaccine uptake and its effect on the behavioral intention to obtain the HPV vaccine. The San Diego State University Psychology Department participant pool was utilized to collect the data from 209 participants between the ages of 18 to 26 years who have not yet obtained any dose of HPV vaccine. Data were collected anonymously and analyzed using a series of seven correlation analyses, two hierarchical linear regression analyses, and three mediation analyses. The findings demonstrated that: (1) female gender and social influence (parents’ and peer endorsement of HPV vaccine) significantly predicted behavioral intentions to obtain the HPV vaccine, p
