Implication

Cross-sectional study identifies factors influencing HPV vaccination and Pap smear uptake in Saudi women, indicating vaccination gaps and barriers.

Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate perceptions of the HPV vaccine among Saudi women and identify barriers to vaccination and Pap smear uptake.
  • Cross-sectional study conducted with 1334 Saudi women aged 16 to 65 years.
  • Data collected via an online questionnaire covering sociodemographic factors, beliefs about HPV vaccine, and health practices.
  • Data analysis performed using SPSS version 29.
  • Only 6% completed the vaccination series, while 37.3% planned to get vaccinated.
  • Vaccine hesitancy significantly negatively affected willingness to receive the vaccine (OR = 0.78, 95% CI 0.69–0.90, p < 0.01).
  • Pap smear uptake was an independent predictor of intent to receive the HPV vaccine (OR = 1.78, 95% CI 1.25–2.54, p < 0.01).
