Health Belief Model-based Education and Motivational Interview Regarding the HPV Vaccination Decision

This research is a single-blind, randomized, parallel-controlled experimental study designed to determine the effect of Health Belief Model (SIM)-based motivational interviews given to mothers of high school students on mothers' knowledge, beliefs and attitudes towards HPV vaccine. . The hypotheses of the research; The experimental group that received training and motivational interviews within the framework of SIM had higher knowledge and perception of HPV infection and vaccination in the posttest than the control group that did not receive any application.

Methods: In order to determine the sample size of the study, it was planned to work with a total of 54 patients, at least 27 patients in each group, in the power analysis performed by taking the reference information of the statistician and previous studies, and the study was completed with a total of 63 people (31 in the experimental group, 32 in the control group). The Health Belief Model-based motivational interview will be conducted over the phone and will last 15-20 minutes. One week after each motivational interview, a questionnaire and scale form will be applied to the mothers. After the third meeting, the study will be completed by applying the questionnaire and scale forms. Finally, the questionnaire for measurement will be filled and the research will be completed.

The control group will be subjected to routine processing without any intervention. Questionnaire forms were applied to the control group simultaneously with the experimental group. At the end of the study, a single-session motivational interview will be held by the researcher, since the patients in the control group have equal ethical rights. The primary result expected from the study is that mothers' perceptions of the benefit, sensitivity and severity of HPV vaccine increase, and their perception of barriers decreases. The secondary result expected from the study is the increase in mothers' knowledge about HPV infection and vaccination. The tertiary expected outcome of the study is that the mother sees her daughter at risk of HPV infection and decides to have her daughter vaccinated against HPV.
