Abstract
Purpose: Globally, there is minimal literature on the knowledge, awareness, and uptake of the human papilloma virus vaccine and cervical cancer prevention. Specifically, in the Syrian-American female community residing in the United States, there is no research done on knowledge, awareness, and human papilloma virus vaccine intent uptake. The purpose of this project was to develop and implement an educational program on cervical cancer prevention in the Syrian-American female community to increase knowledge and vaccine intent uptake.
Methodology: It includes a 1-hour community based educational session on the human papilloma virus, risks, cervical cancer prevention, HPV vaccination and recommendations. It was followed by a 30-minute open forum discussion as a question-answer strategy teach back method.
Results: 32 women between the ages of 18-26 participated. Mean scores increased and reached level of significance p<0.0015. The themes included fear and side effects, benefit, lack of knowledge, doctors and parents.
Implications for Practice: The overall project supports the major influence of providers providing evidenced based information, in the patient’s knowledge and decision for intent to vaccinate.
