Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate knowledge of undergraduate pharmacy students about human papillomavirus infection and their attitude towards its prevention A crosssectional survey was conducted in 270 undergraduate pharmacy students using a validated questionnaire to assess knowledge about human papillomavirus infection and cervical cancer and their attitudes towards human papillomavirus vaccines Eightyone percent of the respondents knew that human papillomavirus is a cause of cervical cancer and 878  knew that this infection is preventable The gender of the respondents showed the strongest correlations with human papillomavirus knowledge There were no significant correlations between the ethnic group of the respondents and their human papillomavirusrelated knowledge Higher perceptions of risk were associated with relationship status and respondents who were in a relationship showed greater interest in vaccinating themselves relationship status emerged as a unique predictor The results indicated a moderately high level of knowledge and positive attitude towards human papillomavirus vaccination with few disagreements The results of this study will help to develop and plan appropriate education campaigns for pharmacy students that aim to reduce human papillomavirus infection and consequently the incidence of and mortality caused by cervical cancer in Malaysia
