Patient’s knowledge, attitudes and practices related to Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines: A systematic literature review.

The development of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine led to a reduction in the incidence of cervical cancer in women. But in low- and middle-income countries, the adoption of HPV vaccine is low. Hence why women are more likely to develop cervical cancer in those areas. There is a lack of understanding of the patient’s point of view regarding prevention by vaccination. This may have an impact on the implementation of HPV vaccination programs. By performing a systematic literature review with the patient’s perspective, we will be able to identify the limits regarding the optimal adoption of the HPV vaccine. Through this internship, the partner organization can participate in knowledge dissemination.
