| Popis: | Human papilloma virus is the main cause of cervical cancer around the world. In November 2008 the Romanian Health Ministry has started the national health program organizing the anti-HPV vaccination of girls aged 12-14. In our study we tried to answer why the participation was so low and we analysed the information level of mothers about cervical cancer, the efficiency and the secondary effects of anti-HPV vaccine. The majority of mothers of 12-14 aged girls from some schools from Targu Mures have insufficient knowledge about the relationship between HPV and cervical cancer, and more than two-third of them have irrational fear because of secondary effects and are distrustful regarding the efficiency of vaccination. The study shows that the participation in screening was of a higher percentage at the women with a higher educational level than at the mothers with a lower educational level. In conclusion it is underlined the role of right information offered by specialists and mass media. |
