Official title
The Effect of Health Belief Model-Based Education and Motivational Interviewing on Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Infection Knowledge Level and HPV Vaccine Awareness Among Women
Overview
This study aims to evaluate the effect of an educational intervention based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) combined with motivational interviewing on women's knowledge about Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection and their awareness of HPV vaccination. The study will be conducted among women aged 18-45 who have not received the HPV vaccine. Participants in the intervention group will receive structured education and motivational interviews, while the control group will receive no intervention. Changes in HPV knowledge and vaccine awareness will be measured before and after the intervention using validated scales. The goal is to improve preventive behaviors and increase vaccine uptake through behavior-based education.
Detailed description
This randomized controlled trial is designed to assess the impact of education and motivational interviewing grounded in the Health Belief Model (HBM) on women's knowledge regarding HPV and awareness of the HPV vaccine. The study population consists of 18-45-year-old literate women who have not previously received HPV vaccination.
Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group will receive a 3-session structured education program based on HBM constructs (perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, cues to action, and self-efficacy), supported by motivational interviewing techniques. The control group will receive no intervention.
Data collection will include pre- and post-intervention assessments using a validated HPV knowledge scale and vaccine awareness questionnaire. The expected outcome is a statistically significant improvement in knowledge and awareness in the intervention group.
This study aims to contribute to public health efforts in HPV prevention and vaccination promotion by utilizing a behavioral model in community education.
