Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of education about human papilloma virus and its vaccine on awareness and attitude of healthcare workers and nursing students.
Design: This was a quasi-experimental study.
Methods: The sample size was 250 (155 healthcare workers and 95 students), and both groups received educational intervention. Questionnaires were used to collect data before, after, and also 3 months following the intervention.
Findings: The mean age of participants was 30.1 ± 10.23 years. Results showed a significant increase in knowledge (P < .001), overall attitude (P = .000), and perceived behavior (P < .001) of the participants after the educational intervention.
Conclusion: Educational intervention was effective in knowledge, attitude, and behavior of students and healthcare workers.
Clinical evidence: Educational intervention can be one of the strategies to prevent individuals from acquiring the virus and to increase vaccine compliance.
