The Impact of Perceived Barriers on Self-Efficacy for HPV Preventive Behavior

Conclusion: This study showed the importance of considering perceived barriers of HPV preventive behavior related to self-efficacy. However, different from HBM, modifying factors, such as knowledge, perceived susceptibility, and individual demographics were not related to self-efficacy. Based on these findings, future research should investigate self-efficacy and HPV preventive behavior among individuals who do not participate in HPV preventive behavior.
