Abstract:
Objective To analyze the willingness to receive human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine and its influencing factors among adult women in Qinghai Province, so as to provide scientific basis for the formulation of targeted health intervention strategies.
Methods A multi-stage whole cluster random sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey on the willingness to receive HPV vaccine in eight cities or states of Qinghai Province from December 2024 to January 2025. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses were used to identify the influencing factors associated with HPV vaccination willingness.
Results The results of the 923 participants participated the questionnaire survey revealed that adult women’s HPV vaccination willingness scores differed statistically significant by educational level (F=9.596, P<0.001) and occupation (F=8.494, P<0.001). The hierarchical multiple regression modeling showed that perception of susceptibility (β=0.078, P<0.05), cues to action (β=0.134, P<0.05), and subjective norms (β = 0.407, P<0.001) were positively associated with HPV vaccination willingness among adult women, while perceptual disorder (β =-0.113, P<0.001) was negatively associated with it.
Conclusion The willingness to receive HPV vaccine among adult women in Qinghai Province is influenced by perception of susceptibility, perceptual disorder, cues to action, and subjective norms. Policy makers and public health agencies should therefore adopt targeted strategies, such as optimizing health education, improving vaccine accessibility, lowering barriers to vaccination, and reinforcing supportive social networks, to increase HPV vaccine uptake and ultimately achieve the goal of effective prevention, control, and elimination of cervical cancer.
