Abstract
Objectives

HPV infection is a widely acknowledged cause of infection-related cancers globally. However, HPV vaccine is a reliable and risk-free method to avert HPV infection and is advised for children aged from 9 to 14, irrespective of their gender. Therefore, when considering the vaccination for human papilloma virus (HPV), viewpoints held by parents hugely impact their decision to vaccinate their daughters. This study aims to evaluate Saudi parents' comprehension and perception of HPV (human papilloma virus) and the HPV vaccine and its acceptability.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate parents of adolescent daughters. An online questionnaire was conducted using Google form to gather information about socio-demographic data, awareness, and knowledge of HPV, and the willingness to accept the HPV vaccine.

Results

Out of 424 participants, three-quarters of the participants were mothers 319 (75.2%) and 105 (24.8%) were fathers. Over half of the respondents (53.8%) were acknowledged that HPV is a cause of cervical cancer where the relationship was found to be significant in relation to gender. Almost half of the participants (47.0%) were acknowledged that HPV vaccine is used to prevent cervical cancer which was statistically significant in relation to gender (P=.034) but (47.9%) did not know. Encouragingly, levels of vaccine acceptance were high (54.7%) although (41.0%) had a negative attitude towards the effectiveness of HPV vaccine with strong belief that the vaccine can cause serious side effects (67.0%). Parents with family history of cervical cancer and were aware that the vaccine can prevent cervical cancer were positively associated.

Resumen
Objetivos

La infección por VPH es una causa ampliamente reconocida de cánceres relacionados con la infección a nivel mundial. Sin embargo, la vacuna contra el VPH es un método confiable y sin riesgos para evitar la infección por VPH y se recomienda para niños de 9 a 14 años, independientemente de su sexo. Por lo tanto, al considerar la vacunación contra el virus del papiloma humano (VPH), los puntos de vista sostenidos por los padres tienen un gran impacto en su decisión de vacunar a sus hijas. Este estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar la comprensión y percepción de los padres saudíes sobre el VPH (virus del papiloma humano) y la vacuna contra el VPH y su aceptabilidad.

Métodos

Se realizó un estudio transversal para investigar a los padres de hijas adolescentes.; Se realizó un cuestionario en línea utilizando el formulario de Google para recopilar información sobre datos sociodemográficos, conciencia y conocimiento del VPH, y la voluntad de aceptar la vacuna contra el VPH.

Resultados

De los 424 participantes, tres cuartas partes de los participantes eran madres, 319 (75,2%) y 105 (24,8%) eran padres. Más de la mitad de los encuestados (53,8%) reconocieron que el VPH es una causa de cáncer de cuello uterino donde se encontró que la relación era significativa en relación con el género. Casi la mitad de las participantes (47,0%) reconocieron que la vacuna contra el VPH se usa para prevenir el cáncer cervical, lo cual fue estadísticamente significativo en relación con el sexo (p = 0,034) pero (47,9%) no lo sabía. Alentadoramente, los niveles de aceptación de la vacuna fueron altos (54,7%), aunque (41,0%) tuvo una actitud negativa hacia la efectividad de la vacuna contra el VPH con una fuerte creencia de que la vacuna puede causar efectos secundarios graves (67,0%). Los padres con antecedentes familiares de cáncer de cuello uterino y eran conscientes de que la vacuna puede prevenir el cáncer de cuello uterino se asociaron positivamente.
