Abstract

The government of Malaysia has developed and executed several initiatives, including vaccination, to reduce the number of cervical cancer cases, which is the second most common malignancy among Malaysian women (after breast cancer). Although the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine has been available for some time, uptake among college-aged women is still dismal. An uptick in HPV awareness among university students is promising since it may play a role in educating the entire population. This study set out to examine factors associated with HPV vaccination intention among female university students in Kuantan, Pahang which simultaneously the respondents in this quantitative study are them. Among female university students in Kuantan, Pahang, this study indicates that all of the independent variables (attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavior control, and anticipated regret) were substantially associated with HPV vaccination intention.
