Summary
Mobile-based blended learning significantly improved nursing students' knowledge of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination. This approach enhances future healthcare providers' ability to promote cervical cancer prevention.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Public Health
- Vaccinology
Background:
- Knowledge gaps in human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination among healthcare students can hinder cervical cancer prevention efforts.
- Nursing students require comprehensive knowledge to effectively promote HPV vaccination programs.
- Assessing the impact of innovative educational strategies on nursing students' understanding of HPV vaccination is crucial.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of a mobile-based blended learning approach in enhancing nursing students' knowledge and attitudes towards HPV vaccination.
- To determine if technology-enhanced education can improve the preparedness of future healthcare providers in promoting HPV vaccination.
- To investigate the potential of blended learning for sustained knowledge improvement in HPV vaccination.
Main Methods:
- An experimental study involving 200 B.Sc. nursing students in India utilized a pretest-post-test design.
- A 2-week intervention combined mobile-delivered educational videos (via social media) with interactive classroom sessions.
- Validated questionnaires assessed knowledge (12 items) and attitudes (5 items) pre- and post-intervention, with a 15-day follow-up.
Main Results:
- Significant increase in knowledge scores by 24.1% (p=0.001), indicating a moderate effect size (Cohen's d = 0.54).
- Four specific knowledge domains remained statistically significant after Bonferroni correction.
- Attitude scores showed a positive trend but did not reach statistical significance (p=0.214).
Conclusions:
- Mobile-based blended learning is a valuable strategy for improving nursing students' knowledge of HPV vaccination.
- The observed knowledge gains were sustained post-intervention, suggesting long-term benefits.
- Technology-enhanced educational strategies can better equip future healthcare professionals to support cervical cancer prevention initiatives.

Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...
