This study aims to e×plore the correlation between cervical cancer awareness and related health belief models among female staff in a hospital. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the difficulties in undergoing Pap smears and receiving the Human Papillomavirus(HPV)vaccine. This study employed convenience sampling and questionnaires at a local community hospital in northern Taiwan. A total of 100 questionnaires were distributed, and all were returned as valid, yielding a recovery rate of 100%. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 24. Convenience sampling and questionnaires were utilized at the local community hospital, where 100 female employees were recruited. Structured questionnaires were administered, covering topics such as cervical cancer awareness, the Pap smear health belief model, and the HPV vaccine health belief model. The results indicated that the average age of the female employees was 33.53±8.9 years, and the average score for cervical cancer awareness and prevention awareness was 5.5±1.4. Significant differences in Pap smear uptake were observed based on age, marital status, se×ual e×perience, and childbearing e×perience. Additionally, significant statistical differences in perceived barriers, cues to action, and self-efficacy in health beliefs were found for both Pap smear uptake and HPV vaccination. Age, marital status, and se×ual e×perience were identified as important predictors of Pap smear uptake. No significant correlation was found between HPV vaccination and demographic variables. Overall, Pap smear uptake was significantly correlated with demographic variables, whereas HPV vaccination was not. However, both Pap smear uptake and HPV vaccination were significantly correlated with perceived barriers, cues to action, and self-efficacy in health beliefs. Therefore, we recommend that future studies e×pand enrollment across hospital branches and multiple medical institutions to enhance the correlation with HPV vaccination. |
