Factors Associated With African American Mothers' Perceptions of Human Papillomavirus Vaccination of Their Daughters: An Integrated Literature Review

Oncol Nurs Forum. 2021 Jul 1;48(4):371-389. doi: 10.1188/21.ONF.371-389.ABSTRACTPROBLEM IDENTIFICATION: African American (AA) women have a higher mortality rate for cervical and other cancers and are less likely to have received the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine than White women. Mothers play a significant family role and have a unique relationship with their daughters. Mothers' positive views on HPV vaccination may enhance the HPV vaccination rate among their daughters.LITERATURE SEARCH: The review was conducted by searching literature in PubMed®, CINAHL®, ScienceDirect, Ovid MEDLINE®, and ProQuest databases. The search was limited to studies conducted in the United States and published since the inception of the HPV vaccine in 2006.DATA EVALUATION: Of 10,566 publications retrieved, 28 articles were included in the final sample.SYNTHESIS: Factors associated with HPV vaccination were approval and disapproval of HPV vaccination from physicians, family, and friends; HPV knowledge; attitude and belief about HPV vaccination; benefits of vaccination; and challenges of and barriers to HPV vaccination.IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Understanding factors related to HPV vaccination decisions among AA mothers will inform healthcare providers of the best approach to improving vaccination rates among this high-risk population.PMID:34142996 | DOI:10.1188/21.ONF.371-389
