HPV VACCINE ADHERENCE AMONG ADOLESCENTS: INTEGRATIVE REVIEW

ADHESIÓN A LA VACUNA DEL VPH ENTRE ADOLESCENTES: REVISIÓN INTEGRATIVA

ABSTRACT

Objective:

to identify what factors are connected to adolescent adherence to the vaccination against Human Papillomavirus.

Method:

integrative developed using the following data base: Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online and Web of Science, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (Latin-American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences), and Base de dados de Enfermagem (Nursing Database); using the descriptors and keywords: Papillomaviridae, immunization, vaccines. The final sample had 31 original articles.

Result:

Vaccine adherence predictors were identified as: knowledge about virus infection risk, vaccination and its benefits; cervical cancer and genital warts prevention; sexual activity; being over 14 years old; mothers’ intention to adhere to vaccination; mother-child communication about sexually transmitted infections, contraception and condoms; vaccination offered in school; recommendation by teachers and health professionals; vaccine safety and effectiveness.

Conclusion:

Evidence points towards the necessity to redesign the presentation strategy of the vaccine, because despite the cultural differences among the countries where the studies were carried out, it is noticeable that society shelters adolescents aged from 10 to 14 years old, considering it early for sexual initiation and presenting difficulties to broach sexuality-related topics with children.
