Abstract

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination for adolescents helps within the prevention of preventable cancers caused thanks to HPV infection. However, many adolescents don't seem to be vaccinated because of a scarcity of information among parents.

Objective: This study aimed to check the extent of information and attitude of oldsters on HPV vaccination before and after the net educational intervention.

Methods: A cross-sectional pilot study was conducted among a sample of 45 parents of adolescents studying at school 7th–9th. the oldsters were selected through two-stage simple sampling and assigned randomly to a few groups with three different methods of education – an internet lecture with a PowerPoint presentation, a web short film with discussion, and a self learning online booklet. Pre  and post-intervention knowledge was assessed with a structured questionnaire and attitude with a modified Likert scale administered online. Wilcoxon and Kruskal–Wallis tests were accustomed find the statistical significance of the study.

Results: Only 36% of samples stated that they need not heard about HPV vaccination, while others had heard from healthcare workers, members of the family, friends, or television, but their knowledge was inadequate. all told the three groups, there have been significant improvements within the level of data, but there was no significant difference in attitude. The post-test knowledge countless parents educated with the short film were significantly over the opposite two interventions.

Conclusion: Online educational programs were found to be effective in improving the knowledge of fogeys on HPV vaccination and of the three methods; the short film was more practical than the opposite two methods
