Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is an effective strategy for preventing HPV-related diseases; however, parental knowledge and vaccination intention may influence vaccine uptake among children and adolescents. This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effect of a Health Belief Model (HBM)-based parent education intervention on HPV knowledge and HPV vaccination intention among parents of children aged 9-14 years. A total of 64 parents were enrolled and randomly assigned to an intervention group (n=32) or a control group (n=32). Following baseline assessment, the intervention group received a single, approximately 40-minute, face-to-face, nurse-led educational session based on the constructs of the Health Belief Model. The control group received no educational intervention during the five-week comparison period. HPV knowledge and vaccination intention were assessed at baseline and five weeks later. After completion of the five-week assessment, the control group received the same educational session for ethical reasons.
