Abstract

Objective

To determine the extent to which human rights considerations influence the attitudes of healthcare providers in Brazil with regard to access to the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine for females over 13 and males of all ages.

Methods

From May to August 2015, we conducted a cross-sectional study among healthcare providers in eight public health clinics in the city of Mauá, Brazil. Frequency analysis was conducted across three subject areas: access, knowledge, and attitudes.

Results

A total of 154 surveys were analyzed. Providers reported their perception that Brazilians do not have equal access to health (80%) and the vaccine exclusions limit an individual's right to health (72%). Providers stated it is medically effective to vaccinate females over the age of 13 (77%), these females should be vaccinated (84%), and they would vaccinate them (82%). Similar responses were reported for males.

Conclusion

Cervical cancer is the 4th leading cause of cancer among females in Brazil. Most cervical cancer cases are caused by persistent HPV infection, preventable through HPV vaccination. Limiting access to the HPV vaccine when medically efficacious is a perceived infringement of an individual's right to health. Brazil has a constitutional responsibility to reduce these access barriers.

从人权角度了解提供者对人乳头瘤病毒疫苗的知识和态度,巴西圣保罗
目的:确定人权因素在多大程度上影响了巴西医疗保健提供者对13岁以上女性和所有年龄段男性获得人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)疫苗的态度。方法2015年5月至8月,我们对巴西莫市8家公共卫生诊所的医疗服务提供者进行了一项横断面研究。频率分析是在三个主题领域进行的:获取、知识和态度。结果共分析问卷154份。服务提供者报告说,他们认为巴西人没有平等获得保健的机会(80%),而疫苗排除限制了个人的健康权(72%)。提供者表示这是医学上有效接种13岁以上的女性(77%),这些女性应该接种疫苗(84%),他们将接种疫苗(82%)。男性也有类似的反应。结论宫颈癌是巴西女性癌症的第四大杀手。大多数宫颈癌病例是由持续的HPV感染引起的,可通过HPV疫苗预防。在医学上有效的情况下,限制获得人乳头瘤病毒疫苗是对个人健康权的侵犯。巴西有宪法责任减少这些准入障碍。
