Abstract(s)
Enquadramento: O Vírus do Papiloma Humano é o vírus mais comum entre a população sexualmente ativa. Estima-se que cerca de ¾ da população sexualmente ativa já sido exposta à infeção por HPV. Destarte, destaca-se a importância da prevenção, nomeadamente a vacinação contra esta IST. Normalmente associada ao cancro cervical, a vacina foi, desde início, direcionada ao público feminino. Todavia e tendo em conta a recomendação da vacinação contra o HPV ao sexo masculino (em 2009), o nosso objetivo é saber qual o conhecimento dos homens sobre a vacina do HPV.
Métodos: Optámos por seguir uma revisão integrativa da literatura de acordo com as etapas delineadas pelo modelo da JBI. Dos 392 estudos encontrados, incluímos 19 segundo os critérios de inclusão previamente definidos.
Resultados: Conseguimos constatar, através dos estudos analisados, que há falta de conhecimento dos homens sobre a vacina do HPV, principalmente quando comparado com o conhecimento das mulheres sobre a mesma. Verificámos que o conhecimento do sexo masculino sobre a vacina é mais baixo entre os homens mais velhos.
Conclusão: Cremos que este estudo contribui para a ampliação de conhecimento científico para a Enfermagem, nomeadamente na área dos Cuidados de Saúde Primários. É imperativo que os enfermeiros orientem as suas práticas baseadas na evidência. Sugerimos, no entanto, uma metodologia diferente como é o caso da meta-análise, permitindo obter resultados mais reais e estatísticos relativamente ao conhecimento dos homens sobre a vacina do HPV.
Context: Human Papilloma Virus is the most common virus among the sexually active population. It is estimated that about ¾ of the sexually active population has been exposed to HPV infection. This highlights the importance of prevention, including vaccination against this STI. Usually associated with cervical cancer, the vaccine was, from the outset, targeted at the female audience. However, given the recommendation of HPV vaccination to males (in 2009), our goal was to know what men know about the HPV vaccine. Methods: We chose to follow an integrative literature review according to the steps outlined by the JBI model. Of the 392 studies found, we included 19 according to the previously defined inclusion criteria. Results: We found, through the studies analyzed, that there is a lack of knowledge of men about the HPV vaccine, especially when compared with women's knowledge about it. We found that male knowledge about the vaccine is lower among older men. Conclusion: We believe that this study contributes to the expansion of scientific knowledge for nursing, particularly in the area of Primary Health Care. It is imperative that nurses guide their practices based on evidence. However, we suggest a different methodology, such as meta-analysis, allowing for more real and statistical results regarding men's knowledge of the HPV vaccine.
