Awareness among nurses concerning the human papilloma virus in the selected clinics in Vhembe district of Limpopo Province, South Africa
The study concluded that nurses have a low level of awareness of HPV infection. Furthermore, it is recommended that HPV infection screening short training programmes are designed for newly qualified nurses and experienced nurses to improve their knowledge. Limited understanding of HPV infection among nurses may contribute to patients receiving insufficient information about HPV infection.
