Brief Summary

Health education is one approach to influencing individuals, groups, or communities to achieve better health. The literature indicates that increasing awareness of HPV, along with participation in early screening and vaccination programs, can positively influence attitudes and behaviors. Therefore, this research will be conducted to determine the effect of education using the card game method on the knowledge and health beliefs of hearing-impaired individuals regarding Human Papilloma Virus (HPV).

Conditions

Human Papilloma Virus (HPV); Hearing Disability

Keywords

HPV; Hearing impaired individual; health belief; health belief, information

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Pre-test

  HPV Knowledge Level The HPV Information Form: The form is a short form containing 7 information statements. For each statement, 1 point is awarded for a correct answer; no points are awarded for incorrect answers or "I don't know." The total knowledge score is calculated by adding the number of correct answers. A higher score indicates a higher level of knowledge.

  Before the card game, individuals will be given an HPV Information Form.

• Pretest

  HPV Health Belief Level HPV Infection and Vaccination Health Belief Model Scale: Participant responses are scored based on item scores, and the total score for each subsection is calculated. The calculated total score is divided by the number of items in the subsection to calculate the individual's severity, barrier, susceptibility, and benefit scores. The average score for each subsection ranges from 1 to 4. A high benefit perception score indicates that a participant believes the HPV vaccine is beneficial; a high severity perception score indicates that HPV infection is a serious problem; a high barrier perception score indicates that the barriers to vaccination are numerous; and a high susceptibility perception score indicates significant sensitivity to this issue.

  Before the card game, the Health Belief Model Scale on HPV Infection and Vaccination will be administered.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Post-test

  One month after the card game, the HPV Information Form will be applied to the individuals.

• Post-test

  One month after the card game, the Health Belief Model Scale on HPV Infection and Vaccination will be administered.
