Özet
Bu çalışma 18-45 yaş arası erkek hastaların HPV ve HPV aşısı ile ilgili farkındalık ve bilgi düzeylerinin belirlenmesi ve arttırılması amacıyla yapıldı. Bu çalışma tek merkezli, tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel nitelikte bir çalışma olarak planlandı. Çalışmaya Tekirdağ Namık Kemal Üniversitesi Hastanesi Aile Hekimliği Polikliniğine başvuran hastalardan 255 hasta dahil edildi. Veriler 01.07.2023-01.12.2023 tarihleri arasında, yüz yüze yapılan anket formu ile toplandı. Anket formunun içeriğinde katılımcılarla ilgili sorular, literatür taranarak hazırladığımız ve kapsam geçerlilik indeksi 0.98 olan HPV ve HPV aşısı ile ilgili farkındalık ve bilgi anketi yer aldı. Elde edilen veriler Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 15.0 istatistik paket programında değerlendirilmiştir. Tanımlayıcı istatistikler sayısal değişkenler için ortalama, standart sapma, ortanca, kategorik değişkenler için sayı ve yüzde olarak verilmiştir. Geçerlik ve güvenirliğin değerlendirilmesinde Açımlayıcı Faktör analizi uygulanmış olup maddelere ilişkin faktör yükleri, madde toplam korelasyon değerleri, Cronbach alfa değeri hesaplanmıştır. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi R studio paket programı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Verilerin normal dağılıma uygunluğu Kolmogorov-Smirnov testi ile değerlendirilmiş olup verilerin normal dağılıma uymaması nedeni ile Mann-Whitney U testi ve Kruskal Wallis testleri kullanılmıştır. İstatistiksel anlamlılık düzeyi p<0,05 olduğunda anlamlı kabul edilmiştir. Erkeklerin 152'si(%59,6) HPV ile ilgili bilgi edinmemiş olduğunu, 250'si (%98,0) HPV aşısı olmadığını, 102'si (%40,0) HPV aşısı olmayı düşünmediğini, 144'ü (%56,5) HPV aşısına ulaşmanın zor olduğunu düşündüğünü bildirdi. Çalışma grubunda yer alan erkeklerin anketten aldıkları puan ortancası (min-maks) 24,0(6,0-32,0) olup ortalaması (SS) 23,20 olarak saptandı. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları erkeklerin yarısından fazlasının HPV aşısını duymadığını, erkeklerin tamamına yakınının HPV aşısını yaptırmadığını ve çoğunluğunun aşıya ulaşmanın zor olduğunu düşündüğünü gösterdi. Bununla birlikte, erkeklerin genel HPV bilgileri ortalama ve mevcut HPV aşılama programına yönelik bilgileri ise düşük seviyede idi. Ayrıca erkeklerin HPV ve HPV aşısı ile ilgili farkındalık ve bilgi anketi puanları ortalama düzeyde idi ve HPV bilgisi erkeklerin tutum ve davranışlarını etkiliyordu. Erkeklerin genel HPV ve HPV aşısına yönelik bilgilerinin artırılmasına yönelik girişimlerin gerçekleştirilmesi önerilebilir. Böylece erkeklerinde aşılama oranları arttırılarak HPV' nin eliminasyonuna katkı sağlayacak sürü bağışıklığı oluşması sağlanabilir. Koruyucu hekimlik hizmetlerinde rol alan aile hekimleri olarak toplumun sağlık bilincini artırmak, hastalıkları önlemek ve erken teşhis ile tedavi etmek gibi önemli bir rol üstlenmekteyiz. Bilgi eksikliğinin giderilmesi de bu sürecin önemli bir parçasıdır. Yapılacak olan sürekli eğitimler ve bilgilendirmeler ile HPV aşısına ilginin ve farkındalığın artacağını düşünmekteyiz.
This study was conducted to determine and increase the awareness and knowledge levels of male patients between the ages of 18-45 about HPV and the HPV vaccine.This study was planned as a single-center, descriptive and cross-sectional study. 255 patients who applied to Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University Hospital Family Medicine Polyclinic were included in the study. The data was collected between 01.07.2023 and 01.12.2023 with a face-to-face survey form. The content of the survey form included questions about the participants, an awareness and knowledge survey about HPV and the HPV vaccine, which we prepared by scanning the literature and whose content validity index was 0.98. The data obtained were evaluated in the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 15.0 statistical package program. Descriptive statistics are given as mean, standard deviation, median for numerical variables, and as number and percentage for categorical variables. Exploratory factor analysis was applied to evaluate validity and reliability, and factor loadings of the items, item total correlation values, and Cronbach's alpha value were calculated. Confirmatory factor analysis was carried out with the R studio package program. The suitability of the data for normal distribution was evaluated with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and since the data did not comply with the normal distribution, Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis tests were used. Statistical significance level was considered significant when p<0.05.152 (59.6%) of the men stated that they did not have information about HPV, 250 (98.0%) stated that they had not received the HPV vaccine, 102 (40.0%) stated that they did not consider getting the HPV vaccine, and 144 (56,5%) stated they thought it was difficult to access the HPV vaccine. The median (min-max) score of the men in the study group from the survey was 24.0 (6.0-32.0) and the mean (SD) was 23.20. The results of this study showed that more than half of the men had not heard of the HPV vaccine, almost all of the men had not received the HPV vaccine, and the majority thought it was difficult to access the vaccine.However, men's general HPV knowledge was average and their knowledge of the current HPV vaccination program was low. In addition, men's awareness and knowledge survey scores about HPV and the HPV vaccine were at an average level, and HPV knowledge affected men's attitudes and behaviors.It may be recommended to take initiatives to increase men's knowledge about general HPV and the HPV vaccine. Thus, by increasing the vaccination rates in men, herd immunity can be achieved, which will contribute to the elimination of HPV. As family physicians who take part in preventive medicine services, we play an important role in increasing the health awareness of the society, preventing diseases and treating them with early diagnosis. Eliminating the lack of information is also an important part of this process. We think that interest and awareness of the HPV vaccine will increase with continuous training and information.
