Objective:
This study seeks to determine parents' intentions to accept HPV vaccination for their daughters in the 5th and 6th grades elementary school in Indonesia to support future HPV vaccine acceptance.
Methods:
Eligible participants from all provinces in Indonesia were recruited using a 25-item questionnaire. We summarized the sociodemographic data and mortgage scores of the participants using descriptive statistics. To identify independent determinants of vaccination intentions, we conducted bivariate and multivariate ordinal logistic regression analysis.
Result:
A total of 1,000 parents responded. Overall, only 48.7% intended to receive HPV vaccination. In addition, 56.3% exhibited negative attitudes, 50.3% reported negative subjective norms, and 60.5% demonstrated negative perceived behavioral control. Subjective norms were significantly associated with HPV vaccination acceptance intentions (p-value = 0.000; Exp(B) 7.020).
Conclusion:
Participants demonstrated moderately high intentions to refuse HPV vaccination, with subjective norms being a significant influencing factor. Therefore, to increase vaccine acceptance, targeted interventions aimed to improving subjective norms are essential.
