To investigate and compare the attitudes of parents who initiated their daughters’ HPV vaccination with parents who did not. Data were collected through telephone interviews with a close-end questionnaire on parents’ knowledge, attitudes towards the vaccine, and the reasons for vaccinating or not their daughters against HPV. The sample was random, stratified by geographic region and urbanization level, national, and representative of the general population of parents of girls aged 11-18 in Greece. Statistical analysis consisted of descriptives, an inferential analysis with hypothesis testing, and a logistic regression model. Overall, 996 parents were included in the analysis, 99.0% of which were women. Forty-seven percent of them initiated their daughters’ HPV vaccination, with physician recommendation stated as the most important reason for this decision (50.2%). For those who had not initiated their daughters’ HPV vaccination (53%), lack of information was the most important reason (25.6%). In the hypothesis testing, parents with unvaccinated daughters agreed more with the statements “I do not have enough information for the HPV vaccine to decide,” and “My child is very young to be vaccinated for an STD” ( < .05), but no significant difference found for the statement “It's more possible for a vaccinated girl to begin sexual activities” ( > .05). Lack of information, young age of the daughter, and perceived effectiveness of the vaccine are the most important hesitation factors. Physician recommendation is the most important reason to initiate vaccination.

是什么影响父母决定为女儿接种 HPV 疫苗？

调查并比较为女儿接种 HPV 疫苗的父母与未接种疫苗的父母的态度。通过电话访谈和封闭式调查问卷收集数据，了解家长对疫苗的了解、对疫苗的态度以及女儿是否接种HPV疫苗的原因。样本是随机的，按地理区域和城市化水平、全国进行分层，代表希腊 11-18 岁女孩父母的总体人群。统计分析包括描述性分析、假设检验的推理分析和逻辑回归模型。总体而言，996 名家长参与了分析，其中 99.0% 是女性。其中 47% 的人开始为女儿接种 HPV 疫苗，医生的建议被认为是做出这一决定的最重要原因 (50.2%)。对于那些没有给女儿开始接种HPV疫苗的人（53%），缺乏信息是最重要的原因（25.6%）。在假设检验中，女儿未接种疫苗的父母更同意“我没有足够的信息来决定是否接种 HPV 疫苗”和“我的孩子还很小，无法接种 STD 疫苗”(< .05)，但是对于“接种疫苗的女孩更有可能开始性活动”这一说法没有发现显着差异 (> .05)。缺乏信息、女儿年龄小以及疫苗的有效性是最重要的犹豫因素。医生的建议是开始接种疫苗的最重要原因。
