ABSTRACT Adolescents typically lack complete autonomy in making medical decisions, with parental influence often playing a pivotal role in matters such as consenting to or declining medical interventions, including human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination for their daughters. However, scholarly investigation into parental health literacy concerning attitudes and self-efficacy regarding HPV vaccination for adolescent girls remains limited. This study aims to ascertain the correlation between parental health literacy levels and their attitudes towards, as well as self-efficacy regarding, HPV vaccination. This cross-sectional inquiry was carried out between February and June 2023, involving 197 parents of teenage daughters. Utilizing consecutive sampling techniques, participants were recruited from the UPTD catchment area of Pejuang Health Center, Bekasi. Research instruments employed encompassed the Health Literacy questionnaire, the Attitude Questionnaire concerning the HPV vaccine, and the Self-Efficacy Scale for HPV vaccination. Data analysis entailed the application of the Spearman Correlation Test. Predominantly, respondents were female, aged between 31 and 40 years, married, with one teenage daughter, and predominantly relied on electronic media for health literacy information. Significantly positive associations were established between parental health literacy and attitudes (p value=0.000; r=0.339), as well as self-efficacy (p value=0.000; r=0.301). Parental health literacy exhibits a substantial correlation with attitudes and self-efficacy regarding HPV vaccination, characterized by a moderate strength of association. Consequently, an intervention initiative targeting the enhancement of parental health literacy is advocated, the efficacy of which could be evaluated through prospective quasi-experimental research endeavors.
