About this study
Official title: Evaluation of Educational Interventions Targeting Beliefs About Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Among Female Employees
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of two different educational training programs on beliefs about Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in a group of female hospital employees. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Within the scope of the study, are the training programs provided to reduce misconceptions about HPV effective? • Which educational program is more effective in reducing misconceptions about HPV? Participants will • Complete a pre-test online the day before the first training date to determine the level of their misconceptions about HPV. • Receive informative messages via Whatsapp once a day for three days according to the training program they are assigned to. • Repeat the pre-test at the end of the training programs and one month later. • Receive the more effective training program after one month after the test repetition for the control group. Researchers will compare "Misbeliefs about HPV" and "Current Knowledge about HPV" titled training programs on reducing misconceptions about HPV.
Read the detailed description
The human papillomavirus (HPV) can cause health problems ranging from warts in the mouth or genital area to cervical, vaginal, vulvar, penile and anal cancers. Some beliefs about diseases or infectious agents have a negative impact on the early diagnosis and treatment of diseases, particularly by increasing the stigmatization effect of sexually transmitted diseases. Features such as the fact that mucosal contact is sufficient for transmission, that infected people can be symptom-free for a long time, that cancer often develops slowly, and that there are similarities with other sexually transmitted viruses such as HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) or herpes can have a negative impact on knowledge and beliefs about HPV.
It is known that it is crucial to emphasize correct information, not to repeat or point out inaccuracies when taking action to combat false beliefs or myths. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of this approach has been frequently emphasized in the guidance contained in the confirmatory information on misinformation and disinformation. In our study, we want to compare the effectiveness of education models in which false beliefs or myths about HPV are conveyed before or after the current information.
