Abstract
ABSTRACT This study aims to examine the effect of the information, motivation, and behavioral skills (IMB) model intervention on young women’s intention to get the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine. An intervention study that has a pre-test, post-test design was conducted with IMB and control groups. An intervention based on the IMB model, focusing on developing motivation and proper behavioral skills, was applied to the IMB group. A traditional approach was applied to the control group. In this study, the significant post-test differences within groups were information (both groups improved significantly, p < 0.01), individual motivation (the control group decreased significantly, p < 0.01), behavioral skills (both groups improved significantly, p < 0.01), self-management behavior (the IMB group increased significantly, p < 0.01), objective health outcome (the control group decreased significantly, p < 0.01), and subjective health outcome (the IMB group increased significantly, p < 0.0125). IMB-based interventions can help young women acquire new sexual health behaviors to prevent cervical cancer.
