About this trial
Detailed Description Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the leading causes of cervical cancer and can be prevented by vaccination. However, HPV vaccination rates among young women are low, largely due to insufficient knowledge and misconceptions about HPV and the vaccine. Therefore, an effective educational program may improve both knowledge and vaccination intention.
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to examine the effect of delivering HPV education through different methods (asynchronous online education delivered via a pre-recorded video and face-to-face education) on HPV knowledge level and HPV vaccination intention among women aged 18-24 years.
The study will be conducted with women aged 18-24 years registered at Family Health Centers in the Afşin district of Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned into three groups: the video-based education group, the face-to-face education group, and the control group.
Data will be collected using the Participant Information Form, HPV Knowledge Scale, and HPV Vaccination Attitude and Intention Form. Measurements will be performed at three time points: before the education (pre-test), immediately after the education (post-test), and one month after the education (follow-up test). The video-based education group will receive the education via a pre-recorded online video, while the face-to-face group will receive the same content in person at the Family Health Center. No education will be provided to the control group; only measurements will be obtained.
Research Questions
Does HPV education delivered through different methods increase HPV knowledge levels among young women?
Does HPV education increase HPV vaccination intention compared with the control group?
Is face-to-face education more effective than video-based education in increasing vaccination intention?
Are the improvements in knowledge and vaccination intention sustained one month after the education?

Treatments tested in this trial
Video-Based HPV Education
BehavioralA structured educational video providing information about HPV infection, transmission, prevention, and HPV vaccination.
Face-to-Face HPV Education
BehavioralA structured face-to-face educational session conducted by the researcher covering HPV infection, transmission, prevention, and HPV vaccination.
Video-Based HPV Education
BehavioralParticipants will receive HPV and HPV vaccination education through a standardized educational video including information about HPV transmission, related diseases, prevention methods, and the benefits of vaccination.
Face-to-Face HPV Education
BehavioralParticipants will receive HPV and HPV vaccination education through a structured face-to-face session conducted by the researcher using standardized educational materials.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
HPV Knowledge and Vaccination Intention - Pre-Test
Young women who consent to participate in the study will complete the Participant Information Form and the HPV Knowledge and Vaccination Intention Scale before receiving any education. This stage aims to determine participants' baseline knowledge and intention to vaccinate.
Time frame
Before educationSecondary outcomes
1
HPV Knowledge and Vaccination Intention - Post-Education Test
Immediately after the intervention, the experimental groups will receive the designated educational methods (video-based education and face-to-face education), and the same scales will be re-administered. This measurement is intended to evaluate the short-term effect of the education. The control group will not receive any education at this stage, only the assessments will be conducted.
Time frame
Immediately after education2
HPV Knowledge and Vaccination Intention - 1-Month Follow-Up Test
One month after the educational intervention, all groups will complete the same scales again to assess the persistence of changes in knowledge and vaccination intention. This measurement evaluates the sustained effect of the educational interventions.
