The knowledge and attitudes of Mexican mothers in the non-acceptance of the human papillomavirus vaccine.
Abstract
Introduction. The human papillomavirus has a prevalence of 11.7% among women, and vaccination is the most effective prevention strategy; however, in Mexico it is only applied to 14.4% of all girls between 9 and 12 years of age. Objective. To identify the knowledge and attitudes of Mexican mothers in the non-acceptance of the human papillomavirus vaccine for their daughters. Methodology. Qualitative hermeneutic phenomenological study, with interviews with six Mexican mothers who did not accept the vaccine for their daughters. Purposive sampling, a guide based on the literature review was applied in 2021 with online format, transcription, thematic analysis and processing in MAXQDA software version 18.2.0. Results. Interviews were conducted with mothers between 30 and 40 years of age, most of whom had a bachelor's degree, were Catholic and were employed by government institutions. Three core categories were obtained: 1) meaning of human papillomavirus; 2) human papillomavirus vaccine; and 3) prevention and health promotion for human papillomavirus vaccine, with 9 subcategories addressing: knowledge, beliefs, misinformation, benefits, motivation, and lack of acceptance of the vaccine. Discussion. Studies show that lack of information leads to non-acceptance of the human papillomavirus vaccine, which limits timely immunization of girls, coinciding with the results found. Conclusion. Limited knowledge and lack of reliable information affect the negative attitudes of mothers who refuse the human papillomavirus vaccine for their daughters. Nursing interventions with relevant and impactful information will contribute to healthy individual and family behaviors.
