인유두종 바이러스와 관련된 낙인, 수치심과 검사의도의 영향요인 = Factors Associated with Human Papillomavirus related Stigma, Shame,and Intent of HPV Test

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the factors associated with HPV (Human Papillomavirus) related stigma,shame and intent to have HPV test among adult women. Methods: Data were collected from December 1, 2009 to January 31, 2010, and participants were 324 women who visited an obstetric gynecologic clinic. They anticipated testing positive for HPV. Then HPV related stigma, shame, intent to have HPV testing and HPV knowledge were measured. Descriptive statistics,Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis test and multivariate adjusted logistic regression were used for data analysis. Results:The levels of stigma and shame were higher than average. Intent to have HPV test was high and HPV knowledge was low.
Women who answered that HPV is not sexually transmitted had lower HPV stigma than did women who answered they didn't know (OR=0.20, 95%CI 0.06-0.68). Women with lower stigma showed lower intent to have HPV test than women with higher stigma (OR=0.46, 95%CI 0.26-0.82). Conclusion: Basic HPV information should be fully understood for women especially prior to HPV test. Normalizing HPV stigma is necessary for women who perceive HPV as sexually transmitted and women intending to have HPV test.
