| الوصف: | In Romania, cervical cancer is the second most frequent neoplasm among women of 15 to 44 years of age, mainly due to a lack of prevention efforts. The purpose of this study is to assess the current knowledge and attitude towards HPV infection and immunization among medical students. Such information is vital in order to properly assess the current shortcomings of our medical system in the struggle of lowering cancer incidence. A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was carried out in 2016 and in 2018 on a total of 1,133 participants (median age of 21.9 years, 572 students in 2016 and 562 in 2018). No statistical differences between males and females regarding knowledge of HPV vaccine were found (chi-square 0.046, df = 1, p = 0.83). Moreover, between the 2016 and the 2018 groups, no noticeable changes in HPV awareness and information were observed (2016: chi-square: 0.003, df = 1, p = 0.955; and 2018: chi-square: 0.061, df = 1, p = 0.805). Even though the participants have noted reliable media and medical staff as their main sources of information, our study revealed poor general knowledge, no improvement in perception, and a lack of prophylactic action. |
