Kunskap om HPV och inställning till prevention och gynekologisk cellprovtagning : En webbaserad enkätundersökning bland unga kvinnor i Sverige

Ljungqvist, Ellen, Kaseva, Hannah January 2021 (has links)
Bakgrund: Humant Papillomvirus (HPV) orsakar livmoderhalscancer. Årligen drabbas 800 kvinnor och 300 män av HPV-relaterad cancer i Sverige. Både pojkar och flickor får HPV- vaccin enligt nationella vaccinationsprogrammet. Vaccin tillsammans med gynekologisk cellprovtagning kan utrota HPV-orsakad cancer. Tidigare forskning visade att kunskapsläget kring HPV varierade globalt. Syfte: Att undersöka unga kvinnors kunskap om HPV och inställning till prevention och gynekologisk cellprovtagning i Sverige.Metod: Kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie med webbenkät. Undersökt grupp var kvinnor i åldrarna 23-29 år i Sverige. Totalt 160 enkäter analyserades. Resultat: Resultatet visade goda kunskaper hos unga kvinnor avseende smittväg, prevention och att HPV orsakar livmoderhalscancer. Kunskaperna var sämre avseende HPV och könssjukdomar, att HPV kan orsaka annan cancer samt att HPV kan drabba män. Mer än hälften av deltagarna var vaccinerade mot HPV. Samtliga hade en positiv inställning till gynekologisk cellprovtagning och visste att det utförs för att upptäcka cellförändringar. Majoriteten av deltagarna hade gått på gynekologisk cellprovtagning.Slutsats: Kunskapen var generellt god hos deltagarna. Det fanns en positiv inställning till gynekologisk cellprovtagning. I utbildningsgrupperna kunde enstaka större skillnader i kunskap ses men generellt var skillnaderna små. Information om HPV kan tillgängliggöras i väntrummen på barnmorskemottagningar och ungdomsmottagningar samt i kallelsen till gynekologisk cellprovtagning. / Background: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) causes cervical cancer. Approximately 800 women and 300 men are diagnosed with HPV-related cancer annually in Sweden. Both boys and girls receive the HPV-vaccine according to the national program. Vaccines and pap tests can together exterminate all cancers caused by HPV. Research showed that knowledge about HPV is varying globally. Method: Quantitative cross-sectional study with web based surveys. The target group consisted of women aged 23-29 in Sweden. A total of 160 surveys were analyzed.Aim: To examine knowledge about HPV and attitudes towards prevention and pap testing amongst young Swedish women. Results: Young women had gratifying knowledge about the route of infection, prevention and that HPV causes cervical cancer. There was less knowledge about HPV and STIs, that HPV causes other sorts of cancers and that HPV can affect men. More than half of the participants were vaccinated. All participants had a positive attitude towards pap testing and knew that it is performed to locate pre cancerous cervical lesions. The majority of the participants had undergone a pap test. Conclusion: The knowledge was overall good in the participants. There was an entirely positive attitude towards pap testing. Only a few significant differences in knowledge were found affected by level of education, generally the differences were only slight. Information about HPV can be made available in the waiting rooms in midwife and youth clinics, and in the pap test summoning letter.
