Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to identify mothers' intention of HPV vaccination with junior high school daughters whose age is optimal for the vaccination and analyse influential factors using the Theory of Planned Behavior(TPB) in order to present basic data for development of educational programs which can enhance their intention of vaccination. Method: The subjects of the study were 198 mothers whose daughters are junior high school students in grade 2 and 3 in Gwangju. The questionnaire was composed of 14 questions on TPB, that is, attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control, and vaccination intention. The data were analysed with uses of the following instruments: SPSS Program, Descriptive Statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Turkey, Pearson`s correlation, and Stepwise multiple regression. Results: 1. The scores of HPV vaccination intention was a means of 16.86 and when they were changed into percentage, they were 80.29 points, which was relatively high. 2. 91.4% of the subjects had intention to vaccinate their daughters for HPV and 29.8% responded they would vaccinate within six months. and 70.2% responded that they would vaccinate after six months. 31% responded they did not vaccinate their children because of financial burden and 96.5% responded that they would vaccinate their children if the medical insurance is applied for the vaccination. 3. There were significantly positive correlations between attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control, and intention to vaccinate. 4. As a result of the stepwise multiple regression analysis, attitude had the most influence on intention to vaccinate, followed by subjective norms and perceived behavior control . The regression model explained 84.3% of the HPV vaccination intention and it was statistically significant(F=352.929, p<.001). Conclusion: As a result of the study, the HPV vaccination intention of mothers who had junior high school daughters was relatively high, but only 27.3% responded that they would vaccinate their daughters within six months and mothers thought that the optimal age of HPV vaccination is a means of 17.74. Also, as it was discovered that attitude to HPV vaccination, subjective norms and perceived behavior control variables are important influential factors of the vaccination intention, it is suggested that promotion programs and social atmosphere to encourage mothers to think it positively and perceive it easy and convenient should be developed.
