摘要
Abstract Background Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a major cause of cervical cancer, and effective vaccines have been developed to combat its impact. However, there is a lack of awareness among Egyptian women regarding HPV and its preventive measures. Methods This cross-sectional quantitative study aimed to explore factors influencing HPV awareness among Egyptian women. A survey was conducted to participants recruited from clinics at Alexandria University Hospitals in 2021. Inclusion criteria included being a woman aged 18 years or older. Data analysis involved a multivariable logistic regression model to assess associations between covariates and HPV awareness. Results The study included 99 participants, ranging from 18 to 55 years of age. The majority were married, had an education below high school, and had a monthly income between $100–300. Unmarried participants, those with higher education levels, and higher incomes demonstrated higher levels of HPV awareness. The logistic regression model indicated that education level and religiosity score were significant predictors of HPV awareness. Participants with higher education levels had 6.84 times higher odds of being aware of HPV, while those with higher religiosity scores had lower odds. Conclusion The results of this study highlight the need for programs that target less educated and highly religious populations to raise awareness about HPV and encourage HPV vaccination. Further studies should be conducted to better understand the complex interplay of demographic, cultural, and religious factors that influence HPV awareness and vaccination uptake.
