Resumen
Los adolescentes constituyen un grupo en riesgo de contraer el virus del papiloma humano en las
conductas sexuales inadecuadas, por lo que deben poseer información sobre el tema y plena
aceptación de la vacuna preventiva. Objetivo: Determinar la relación entre el nivel de
información y la aceptabilidad de la vacuna del Virus de Papiloma Humano en estudiantes
varones de una Institución Educativa Pública. Material y Métodos: Investigación cuantitativa,
transversal, con nivel correlacional y diseño no experimental, con muestra a 232 adolescentes
varones que participaron de una encuesta, como instrumento se aplicó un cuestionario validado
por expertos y con buena confiabilidad. Resultados: La mayoría presentó nivel bajo de
información sobre el virus del papiloma humano 56.9%; por dimensiones predominó el nivel
medio de información en las generalidades sobre el virus del papiloma humano 51.7%, y nivel
bajo de información sobre la vacunación contra el virus del papiloma humano 60.3%. El rechazo
de la vacuna predominó en el 65.5%; por dimensiones el 55.2% presentó aceptación cognoscitiva,
y el 75.9% rechazo afectivo. Se halló relación entre las variables (p=0.000), observándose que el
rechazo de la vacuna predominó en quienes tuvieron bajo nivel de información (51.7%).
Asimismo se halló relación entre la aceptabilidad de la vacuna y las dimensiones del nivel de
información (p=0.000). Conclusiones: El nivel de información se relaciona significativamente
con la aceptación de la vacuna del virus del papiloma humano en estudiantes varones de una
Institución Educativa Pública.
Adolescents are a group at risk of contracting the human papillomavirus through inappropriate sexual behavior, so they must have information on the subject and full acceptance of the preventive vaccine. Objective: To determine the relationship between the level of information and the acceptability of the Human Papillomavirus vaccine in male students of a Public Educational Institution. Material and Methods: Quantitative, cross-sectional research, with a correlational level and non-experimental design, with a sample of 232 male adolescents who participated in a survey, as an instrument a questionnaire validated by experts and with good reliability was applied. Results: The majority presented a low level of information about the human papillomavirus 56.9%; by dimensions, the medium level of information predominated in generalities about the human papillomavirus 51.7%, and a low level of information about vaccination against the human papillomavirus 60.3%. Likewise, the rejection of the vaccine predominated in 65.5%; By dimensions, 55.2% presented cognitive acceptance, and 75.9% affective rejection. A relationship was found between the variables (p=0.000), observing that the rejection of the vaccine predominated in those with a low level of information (51.7%). Likewise, a relationship was found between the acceptability of the vaccine and the dimensions of the level of information (p=0.000). Conclusions: The level of information is significantly related to the acceptance of the human papillomavirus vaccine in male students of a Public Educational Institution.
