Midwives play a key position in the implementation of cervical cancer. This descriptive study aimed to determine the level of knowledge concerning HPV and HPV vaccination among 268 midwifery students. Data were collected between November 15 and 30, 2011, through a self-reported questionnaire. The mean age of participants was 20.75 +/- 1.60. Among all students, 44.4% had heard of HPV, while 40.4% had heard of HPV vaccinatiob. The relationship between the midwifery student knowledge on HPV and HPV vaccine and their current educational year was significant (p=0.001). In conclusion midwifery students have moderate level of knowledge about HPV and its vaccine and relevant information should be included in their teaching curriculum.Öğe Effects of Peer Education, Social Support and Self Esteem on Breast Self Examination Performance and Knowledge Level(Asian Pacific Organization Cancer Prevention, 2009) Malak, Arzu Tuna; Bektash, Murat; Turgay, Ayshe San; Tuna, Asli; Genc, Rabia EktiObjective: To estimate associations among peer education, social support and self esteem and their influences on performance of breast self-examination (BSE).
