Parent Education About Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
Sponsor: KTO Karatay University
Summary
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.

Behavioral: Health Belief Model-Based HPV Education
Participants assigned to the intervention group received a single, face-to-face, nurse-led educational session based on the Health Belief Model after completion of the baseline assessment. The approximately 40-minute session addressed HPV transmission, HPV-related cancers, HPV vaccination, vaccine effectiveness, recommended vaccination schedules, screening, and common misconceptions. The educational content was structured according to the Health Belief Model constructs, including perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, cues to action, and self-efficacy. Participants were invited to return five weeks later for post-intervention assessment.
