Book excerpt: "Parental knowledge about Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and HPV vaccine is an important predictor factor for their children's HPV vaccine status. Studies suggest that there is the need for educational intervention to increase HPV vaccine acceptability. At a private pediatric practice in northeastern Maryland, many parents were observed to opt out of the vaccine for their children possibly due to lack of knowledge. The aims of this project were to assess parents' knowledge and to evaluate the effect of a short educational intervention on improving parents' knowledge of HPV and HPV vaccine. Changes in total knowledge score before and after the intervention were measured using a content validated HPV knowledge questionnaire, while changes in the vaccine acceptance were measured by comparing aggregate data from the same month one year prior to the start of the project. Fifty parents were recruited for this evidence based practice change project, all participants completed both pre- and post-intervention questionnaires. Parents' knowledge about HPV vaccine increased after the intervention compared to the baseline results. The pre-intervention mean score was 15.44 (30.88%) and post-intervention mean score was 19.74 (38.88%) indicating a 4.30 (8.60%) increase, and an overall increase of 48% of HPV vaccine accepted. The results of data analysis suggested that increasing parental knowledge on HPV and HPV vaccine led to an increase in the vaccine acceptance. Further projects assess whether the knowledge was retained are warranted. Key words: HPV vaccine; Parental acceptance; Patient Education; Parental knowledge. " -- Abstract.

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.

Download or read book The Effect of Promotora Delivered Education on HPV and HPV Vaccine Knowledge in Hispanic Parents written by Sasha Gorecki and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) causes nearly all cervical cancers, 90% of anal cancers, and 60-70% of penile, vaginal, valvular, and oropharyngeal cancers (CDC, 2020). Hispanics have the highest cervical cancer incidence rate of any minority group and a mortality rate 26% higher than Whites (CDC, 2021; American Cancer Society, 2018). HPV vaccination completion rates in the Hispanic population (62.7% of adolescents aged 13 to 17) are much below Healthy People 2030's goal of 80% of 13- to 15-year-olds up to date with HPV vaccinations (Healthy People 2030, n.d.). There is a lack of culturally appropriate interventions to increase HPV vaccine uptake. Prior studies suggest that promotora led education is an effective strategy to increase health behavior activities. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of a culturally appropriate educational intervention, promotora delivered education, on HPV and HPV vaccine knowledge and intention to vaccinate with the HPV vaccine in Hispanics. The dependent variables are HPV and HPV vaccine knowledge level and intention to vaccinate. This study is significant to advanced practice nursing because providing culturally appropriate education and interventions will help combat ethnic and racial health disparities to ultimately decrease the incidence and mortality rates of HPV related cancers in Hispanics.

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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human papillomavirus (HPV) infects approximately 14 million people annually. a crucial role of all health care providers is to reduce the risk of exposure through primary prevention. In order to lessen the risk of people contracting the virus, education regarding the virus must be passed from health professionals to patients - primary the first interaction via the nursing staff. This will in turn - provides the opportunity to increase vaccination rates, increase HPV knowledge, and confirm information about the virus. Using evidence-based practice to answer questions is a vital component for nursing interactions in a clinical setting. However, they must be educated foremost to achieve appropriate outcomes. Delivering fact-based information helps thwart parents and patients from believing false information. Having nursing staff participate in educating parents - as opposed to only the healthcare provider - helps improve the information that parents receive and helps parents make informed decisions for their adolescent. The Larrabee Model for Evidence-Based Practice Change outlines the approach to enhance the education process for the nursing staff at the selected pediatric clinic. EBS resources and the incorporation of nursing staff provide a multi-person approach and reduce previously failed approaches to provide accurate education. The evidence-based framework model selected helped identify the foundation of the project in order to produce best possible outcomes. The method used included a pre-test questionnaire, PowerPoint educational in-service, and a post-test questionnaire. Through a pre-test questionnaire, the nursing staff answered questions related to HPV, the vaccine, and statements related to the virus. A post-test questionnaire following the intervention was used to evaluate and determine if knowledge increased because of the educational intervention. The results of the questionnaire displayed growth, but through interaction via the inservice, this signified that the base knowledge of nursing staff is limited in relation to HPV and the HPV vaccine. Scores from pret-test questionnaires to post-test questionnaires increased by 57%. This project identified the lack of education the nursing staff has received about HPV and the vaccine, and how improving knowledge can affect long-term manangement of nursing staff to further educate their patient population. In conclusion, including the nursing staff and utilizing rapport built with parents will further influence parents and patients to make informed decisions can based on evidence-based information. Informed patients can accomplish several things: they can prevent parents them from potentially making misinformed judgements, can increase vaccination rates, and can overall increase cognizance of a virus that affects persons on a global level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educating College Students About Human Papillomavirus Background: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the US affecting almost 60% of college women ages 20 to 24 years. At one west coast community college, two thirds of males and half of females were unaware of HPV vaccine recommendation through age 26 years. Objectives: This aim of this project is to determine if an evidence-based online educational video about HPV and HPV vaccine would increase knowledge of HPV and intent to receive the vaccine among community college students enrolled in urban and suburban community colleges in Southern California. Measured outcomes of interest included HPV knowledge and intent to receive HPV vaccine. Methods: A quasi-experimental, one-group pre-posttest design was used to determine the effect of the HPV educational video on a sample of 24 gender and ethnically diverse community college students ages 18 through 26 years. Knowledge changes were measured using an online Student HPV-Knowledge Assessment immediately before and after video education. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, paired t-test, and the McNemar chi-square test for paired dichotomous variables. Results: Study results revealed all participants were aware of HPV and a majority was aware of the vaccine. Findings confirmed increased knowledge of HPV, perception of risk, and increased intent to get HPV vaccine in participants who were previously aware of disease following the intervention. These results support the utility of an online educational intervention to increase knowledge of HPV and intent of HPV vaccine uptake. Conclusion: HPV infection is common. Awareness of vaccines as protection from disease is increased during the pandemic, providing opportunity for influence of increased HPV vaccine uptake. The impact of HPV vaccine education through an educational video may be an effective method to reach young college students to heighten awareness and increase knowledge of HPV leading to increased HPV vaccine uptake. Future studies may examine if widespread education on vaccination as disease prevention during pandemic conditions could have impact on other vaccine uptake, specifically HPV vaccine, or if perception of risk from HPV infection might be overshadowed by perception of risk for COVID-19 and thus affect vaccine interest.

Abstract: Human papillomavirus (HPV), a family of viruses with more than 40 genotypes is known to infect genital tract of males and females. High-risk HPV including genotypes 16, 18 can cause cervical cancer while low-risk HPV including genotypes 6, 11 can cause benign or low grade cervical lesions and genital warts. Considering HPV infection is the most common sexually transmitted infection worldwide, as well as in Macao, with prevalence up to 8.1%, and given that cervical cancer is the top ten most frequent female cancer which causes high burden in our health care system, it is important to have a comprehensive intervention for control HPV and cervical cancer. Since the HPV vaccine for preventing cervical cancer has been available in Macao, it is worth to know the willingness to be vaccinated among target population. Base on findings from previous studies, the parental attitudes and acceptance is the key factor of vaccination for young girls. Other potential factors, such as the HPV knowledge, vaccine safety and efficacy, cost, the age of daughter and the physician's attitudes, may also affect parental acceptance. Given that no previous study on this topic has been conducted, this study is aimed to understand the knowledge, attitudes and acceptability of HPV vaccination, and to explore and identify the affecting factors for acceptance among school girls and their parents. A school-based simple cluster random sampling method was used. Data was collected by anonymous self-administrated questionnaires among 574 school girls aged at 12-22 and 702 parents aged at 30-65. About 47% of the school girls had heard of HPV and 88.3% had heard of HPV vaccine, while 57.1% of parents had heard of HPV and 83.2% had heard of HPV vaccine. Although the HPV-related knowledge was poor among young girls and their parents, 92% of girls indicated a positive intention to be vaccinated for herself and 88% parents would willing to consent daughter to be vaccinated if the HPV vaccine became in routine immunization. However, the parental vaccination acceptability for daughters decreased to 40% and only 30% of mothers would willing to accept for themselves, if they had to pay a full course for three doses of HPV vaccine. About 97% of school girls and 95% of parents supported that HPV vaccine should be included in government immunization programme. We also found that young girls and parents are more favor in later HPV vaccination rather than vaccination at recommended age. Cost is the dominant affecting factor in determining parental acceptability of HPV vaccination. In addition, daughter's age, vaccine safety concern, Pap smear attendance and HPV knowledge are significantly associated with HPV vaccine acceptance. It may be worthwhile to further investigate the reasons for the delay vaccination among the young adolescent girls and among their parents, to examine if any underlying factors were unexpressed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Low HPV vaccination rates in adolescents are a significant problem locally in Utah. The outcome of missed HPV vaccination can lead to poor health outcomes including HPV-related precancers, HPV-related cancers, genital warts, and increased spread of the virus. A possible solution to the low HPV vaccination rates is nurse/provider education on evidence-based strategies to improve HPV vaccination receipt and the standardization of an educational patient handout on HPV. Improving HPV vaccination among children will lead to the prevention of thousands of cancers each year in Utah and the United States. Evidence-Based Framework: To increase HPV vaccination rates in adolescents aged 9 to 18 years old, a quality improvement project was conducted at two Salt Lake County Public Health Vaccination Clinics. This included an educational in-service for staff and an HPV educational handout tool for patient education. The Clinical Scholar Model and Pender's Health Promotion Theory were used as the evidence-based practice model and theory to develop and guide this project. Method: Approval from the health department management and Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions' IRB was obtained. Interventions were implemented at two public health clinics to improve provider practice strategies for HPV vaccination delivery. Specifically, the intervention included two components: (1) implementation of a staff educational in-service on the HPV vaccine and how to provide a strong HPV vaccination recommendation; (2) standardization of an HPV educational handout given to eligible adolescent patients and parents. The goal of the project was to increase HPV immunization rates in patients aged 9 to 18 years old and improve vaccination nurse knowledge and confidence surrounding HPV vaccination. Pre- and post-intervention HPV vaccination rates were compared to evaluate the project. Nurse knowledge and confidence were assessed with pre- and post-surveys. Data were collected using a retrospective chart review and a self-made pre/post-collection tool. Pre- and Post-intervention rates of HPV immunizations were compared to evaluate the project. Findings: The implementation of staff education and a standardized patient educational handout was associated with a significant increase in immunization rates of 2.7% pre-intervention to 27.2% post-intervention. Nurse knowledge and confidence on HPV vaccination also improved. Conclusion/Recommendations: The implementation of the educational interventions HPV adolescent vaccination rates, nurse HPV knowledge, and nurse confidence. Therefore, the results of this quality improvement project indicate a provider educational in-service on HPV and the implementation of an HPV educational handout can produce favorable outcomes in a public health vaccination clinic setting. Areas for future study include additional vaccination settings and varied age ranges.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is a research breakthrough to prevent HPV-related cancers and morbidity. Despite assured vaccine efficacy and safety, adolescent vaccine receipt remains suboptimal. At a Convenient Care clinic in Central New Jersey, several missed clinical opportunities to offer HPV vaccination to adolescent patients were observed due to poor provider vaccine recommendations. An evidence-based practice change project was implemented to improve vaccine recommendations practices among providers. The intervention involved an individualized educational program focusing on HPV vaccine as a method of cancer prevention. A validated tool, the HPV knowledge and attitudes survey (HKAS), was utilized to assess provider knowledge of HPV disease, HPV vaccination and vaccine recommendation intent. Nurse Practitioner providers (n=29) were recruited, and all participants completed a pretest, posttest and knowledge retention survey. Knowledge retention was measured four weeks after intervention with the same tool. Using comparative means analysis, intended project outcomes were determined to be met based on selected benchmarks. Findings revealed an 18% increase in provider HPV disease knowledge, a 19% increase in HPV vaccine knowledge and a 33% higher likelihood to recommend HPV vaccination post intervention. Retention scores at 4 weeks post-intervention demonstrated a 1.12% knowledge increase. Therefore, providers retained knowledge gained. The educational programs directed at increasing providers HPV knowledge and promoting vaccine recommendation practices was an effective approach to closing the missed clinical opportunities to recommend HPV vaccination. Findings from this project support that widespread provider HPV education is warranted as a step towards improving the low adolescent vaccination rates.
