Brief Summary
This study aims to examine the effects of education provided to mothers of children aged 9-15 within the framework of the Health Belief Model on mothers' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors about Human Papillomavirus (HPV), and their willingness to have their children vaccinated against HPV. The study, designed with a randomized controlled experimental design, will be conducted at three different Family Health Centers in Gaziantep and will consist of both experimental and control groups. Mothers in the experimental group will receive a three-session visually supported education program prepared by Yıldız USCA, while the control group will receive routine information using HPV brochures from the Ministry of Health. Data collection tools include a personal information form, an HPV knowledge scale, and an HPV Health Belief Model scale.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change in HPV Knowledge Score
Health Belief Model Scale(HPVA-SIM): The scale consists of 14 items and four sub-dimensions: perceived benefit (Items 1-3), perceived sensitivity (Items 4-5), perceived seriousness (Items 6-9), and perceived barrier (Items 10-14). The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient was calculated as .78 for perceived benefit, .72 for perceived sensitivity, .78 for perceived severity, and .71 for perceived barrier in the sub-dimensions of the scale http://dx.doi.org/10.1016 HPV Knowledge Scale (HPV-KÖ): The HPV-KÖ includes three sub-dimensions of 29 items.Factor 1: General HPV knowledge, Factor 2: Knowledge of HPV screening tests, Factor 3: General HPV vaccine knowledge, Factor 4: Knowledge of the current HPV vaccination program. The Cronbach α value for the 29 items of the original scale was reported as 0.83, and the consistency of the scale was reported to be high for this value doi.org/10.4274/jtgga.galenos.2023.2022-10-9

In social psychology, the health belief model (HBM) is a psychological framework used to explain and predict individuals' potentially detrimental behaviors, attitudes and beliefs on their health. Developed in the 1950s by social psychologists at the United States Public Health Service, the model examines how perceptions of susceptibility to illness, the severity of health conditions, the benefits of preventive care, and barriers to healthcare influence behavior. The HBM is widely used in health behavior research and public health interventions to understand and promote engagement in health-protective behaviors
