Assessment of human papillomavirus literacy among midwifery students: a cross-sectional study
The study found that midwifery students have a high level of human papillomavirus literacy. The majority reported acquiring their knowledge through school and media, highlighting the positive impact of formal education and media on human papillomavirus awareness. The findings emphasize the importance of integrating human papillomavirus education into the curriculum. Additionally, community-based education programs can be effective in reaching broader populations, increasing awareness, and promoting preventive health behaviors.
