Abstract
BACKGROUND
Mothers' intentions regarding the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination of their daughters are crucial, especially in societies that prioritize cultural and religious values.
OBJECTIVES
This study aimed to encourage mothers to vaccinate their daughters against HPV by enhancing their perceptions of the vaccine's benefits, susceptibility, severity, and knowledge levels, while reducing their barriers through web-based interventions and Health Belief Model-based motivational interviews.
METHODS
The study was designed as a pre-mid-post test randomized controlled experimental study. The sample included 63 mothers of female high school students (31 in the experimental group, 32 in the control group). Data were collected using a "Demographical and Descriptive Characteristics Information Form", "Health Belief Model Scale for Human Papillomavirus and Its Vaccination" and "Human Papillomavirus Knowledge Scale". Mothers in the experimental group received three HBM-based motivational interviews, web support, and follow-up.
CLINICALTRIALS
gov code is NCT04992741.
RESULTS
Following the interventions, the experimental group exhibited higher levels of knowledge, benefit, susceptibility, and severity perception of HPV vaccination, and lower perceptions of barriers compared to the control group. At the end of the study, 24 mothers from the experimental group and 5 mothers from the control group decided to vaccinate their daughters against HPV.
CONCLUSIONS
Motivational interviews, along with web support and monitoring, significantly enhanced mothers' knowledge and beliefs.
IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICES
This study provides evidence for the applicability of theory-based motivational interviewing in the acceptance of HPV vaccine by mothers. It enables the dissemination of HPV vaccination and encourages community health nurses to use theory-based motivational interviewing to recommend HPV vaccination.
