What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating how a structured educational program based on the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) affects first-year nursing students' knowledge about HPV, their health beliefs, and their intentions to get the HPV vaccine. The study aims to see if this personalized, stage-based education can improve students' readiness to receive the vaccine compared to students who do not receive the education. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups: an intervention group that receives the TTM-based education through five face-to-face modules delivered every two weeks over a 10-week period, and a control group that does not receive any structured education. The educational sessions include staged counseling, information about HPV and the vaccine, activities to raise awareness and motivation, and personalized feedback based on each student's readiness. All participants complete questionnaires at the start and end of the study to measure changes in their HPV knowledge, health beliefs, and vaccine intentions. The main outcome is the Vaccination Behavior Intention Scale, assessed before and after the intervention. Secondary outcomes include scales measuring HPV knowledge and health beliefs. The study involves attending educational sessions and completing surveys, with total participation lasting about 10 weeks.
