Abstract

ABSTRACT: Purpose: To examine factors associated with overall human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination status, completion of HPV vaccination, and intention to receive vaccination among nursing students. Design: A Cross-sectional, correlational study Methods: Data from 86 students were analyzed using logistic and multiple regression. Findings: Among knowledge, attitudes and beliefs, and recommendation, more positive attitudes and beliefs were the only factors associated with initiation and/or completion of HPV vaccination and the intention to receive HPV vaccination. Conclusions: More positive attitudes and beliefs need to be enhanced for HPV vaccination. Clinical Evidence: Changes in attitudes and beliefs can be important targets of interventions to increase HPV vaccination.
