Key Points

To evaluate attitudes toward HPV vaccination among mothers of adolescent girls and determine the relationship between their sexually transmitted disease knowledge and vaccination perceptions.
Conducted an online cross-sectional survey via social media platforms between October 2023 and March 2025 among mothers of daughters aged 10–18 years (N=159).
Measured vaccine attitudes using the Carolina HPV Vaccination Attitudes and Beliefs Scale (CHIAS) and knowledge using the Sexually Transmitted Diseases Knowledge Questionnaire (STD-KQ).
Reported mean CHIAS subdimension scores of 11.75±4.39 for Harms, 9.52±2.91 for Barriers, 5.23±1.79 for Effectiveness, and 7.07±1.98 for Uncertainty, alongside an average STD-KQ knowledge score of 16.98±3.72.
Identified a statistically significant moderate negative correlation between maternal STD knowledge scores and the perceived harms of the HPV vaccine (r=-0.377).
