PICOT: HPV
One nursing practice that is supported by the evidence in articles from the literature review is that increasing HPV health literacy among students will help to promote HPV vaccination and thus reduce the risk of the spread of HPV infection (Perkins, Chigurupati, Apte, 2016; Lamb, Herweijer, Ploner et al., 2018). By increasing health literacy and the advancement of knowledge and information among the target population (high school students), the target population is more likely to be informed of the risks of not getting vaccinated for HPV, how the vaccinations work, and why the spread of HPV should be a concern to them in the first place (Perkins et al., 2016; Lamb et al., 2018). Possible consequences of failing to adopt the strategy of increasing health literacy regarding the evidence-based practice of HPV vaccination, which is an effective strategy for mitigating the risk of the spread of HPV (Lamb et al., 2018), are that students will fail to realize the significance and importance of addressing this issue and taking it seriously enough to take steps to safeguard and protect themselves. Uninformed students are unlikely to be safe and the more they learn about HPV and the HPV vaccination, the more likely they are to receive it.
I would disseminate information about this evidence-based practice throughout a school by printing off pamphlets, leaflets and fliers that can be posted in a school, on a bulletin board, or displayed in a school nursing office, where students may see it. If students have access to an Intranet, information could also be passed via Intranet email in the school.
Communication could also be achieved by having a presentation for students at the high school so that they are allowed face-to-face...

7. The limitations of the study are minimal, including only the fact that the study demonstrates only minimal literature review and would be strengthened by such review, specific to Uganda and not only inclusive of the whole of the region or the whole of Africa. This may be in part due the severely limited set of research information from which to pull from, but if so this is not explained
THEORETICAL APPLICATION 8Theoretical Application AssignmentPart One: The Health Belief Model and HPV Vaccination Uptake among Young AdultsCervical cancer is a fundamental health concern for nations globally. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine as an effective way to prevent HPV-related conditions, including cervical cancer (Alsulami et al., 2023). The vaccine is available for young children aged between 9 and 12, although young adults aged between 13
Women's Health Promotion: Cervical Cancer Cervical cancer is a serious women's health issue. While many women go to their doctor yearly for testing in order to detect cancer and other problems early, many other women ignore this important examination (Gadducci, et al., 2011; Harper, 2004). Additionally, women who have symptoms of cervical cancer often avoid seeing their doctor. They may not have health insurance, they may be frightened, or they may
This includes infection caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), a high-risk virus that could lead to genital warts and worse, cervical cancer (Bristow 2001). Since both types of cancers have excellent recovery prospects in their early stages, it is important for women to seek medical help as soon as these symptoms are observed. In cases where endometrial cancer is suspected, a physician would take a biopsy of the patient's uterus
HPV Case Study The author of this report has been asked to assess and reflect upon a public health dilemma. In particular, the issue is whether HPV vaccination should be mandated or at least widely encouraged on a wide-spread or targeted basis. Unlike other vaccines such as those for polio, the measles, mumps, rubella and pneumonia, HPV cannot be contracted through casual contact. Indeed, sexual contact is really the only way
S. commercial and Medicaid health plans. Reasons women resisted screening included "1) inability to pay the copayment of a screening test, and 2) lack of knowledge of the asymptomatic nature, high prevalence, and possible adverse long-term reproductive effects of Chlamydia infection" (Ahmed et al. 2009). Eliminating co-pays for STD tests might be one way to increase detection, as well female-specific education strategies. While screening for some STDs, such as HIV /
