Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 400 million treatable sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as syphilis, chlamydia and human papillomavirus (HPV) occur each year in people aged 15-49, mostly in developing countries. As HPV is a sexually transmitted virus, it has been shown to be the most important aetiological factor in cervical cancer in women (99.7%). Vaccination and education of young people about sexuality and STDs are very important in the prevention of HPV. In this respect, the aim of this study was to find out the level of knowledge, concern and awareness of HPV infection among university students and to increase their awareness by informing them about the subject through their peers. The study was conducted as a pre-test and post-test one-group study. The sample of the study consisted of all final year students of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation (85 students), Nutrition and Dietetics (60 students), Audiology (35 students), Child Development (80 students), Health Management (44 students) and Social Work (45 students) studying in the spring semester of the 2023-2024 academic year. The students were trained by the Gynaecology Nursing Intern student group (9 students) of the Department of Nursing. Data were collected using the Sociodemographic Characteristics Form, the HPV Knowledge Scale and the Human Papilloma Virus Awareness and Concern Level Scale (HPV-FAS). The relevant forms and the consent form were completed by the students before, after and one month after the training.

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The training titled "The Effect of Peer Education on Human Papillomavirus (HPV) for Students in the Faculty of Health Sciences on Knowledge, Awareness, and Concern Levels" includes scientific and up-to-date information about HPV transmission methods, prevention, risk factors, treatment methods, and vaccination. The content of the training aims to provide students with accurate information about HPV, as well as highlight the negative health effects of the virus, particularly its association with serious diseases like cervical cancer. The training seeks to increase students' awareness of HPV and help them manage their levels of concern about the virus. Through the peer education method, students were able to interact with each other, thus providing a more effective learning experience.
