| Abstract | Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted disease and causes cervical cancer. Although the HPV vaccine is available in Armenia, the coverage is low, attributed to the lack of parental knowledge and awareness about HPV and vaccine safety. The study aimed to evaluate changes in knowledge, belief and intent to vaccinate their daughters against HPV among parents of school-going girls after a video intervention in Yerevan, Armenia. The study followed a pre- and post-test design with a 10-minute multimedia intervention created using constructs of health belief model and theory of planned behavior. Parents from two randomly selected primary schools who had a daughter(s) not vaccinated against HPV and aged between 9 and 14 years participated in the study. The study used a paired t-test to analyze differences in composite knowledge and beliefs scores, and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests to compare paired responses for intention to vaccinate between the pre-test and post-test measurements. All 39 participants were mothers with a mean age of 38 years (SD = 5.90). The knowledge scores M1 = 4.51 (SD = 2.92); M2 = 9.31 (SD = 3.15) and belief scores M1 = 20.54 (SD = 3.79); M2 = 23.56 (SD = 4.51) of the participants improved significantly (p < 0.001) after the intervention by 4.80 (SD = 2.92) and 3.03 (SD = 4.58), respectively ; 34.2% of participants improved their intent to vaccinate their daughter against HPV. In conclusion, multimedia education was well received by parents and could be an efficient tool in HPV education. © 2022 Institute of Health Promotion and Education. |
