Abstract

Objective: To find out the HPV vaccination willingness and the vaccination price preference among age-appropriate women in L Village, Longkou City, Shandong Province, and to analyze the related influencing factors. Methods: In February 2022, 168 women of appropriate age from L Village, Longkou City, Shandong Province were investigated by using a self-made questionnaire with equidistant sampling method, and analyzed by χ² test and logistic regression. Results: Among 168 respondents, the average correct rate of relevant cognitive answers was 46.8%, and 65 respondents (38.69%) were willing to receive HPV vaccination. Multi-factor logistic regression analysis showed that the willingness of vaccination rate of respondents increased with the increase of education level, income level and gynecological physical examination frequency(P<0.05). Compared with tetravalent vaccine, those with lower education level and poor cognition were more inclined to receive bivalent vaccine, while those with younger age and poor cognition were more inclined to receive nine-valent vaccine (P<0.05). Conclusion: The overall cognition level of HPV and HPV vaccine in L village of Longkou City, Shandong Province was low, and the vaccination willingness was low. Reducing the cost of vaccine and strengthening the publicity and education can improve the vaccination rate of HPV vaccine to a certain extent.
