- Objective: To explore youth clinic midwives role in cervical cancer prevention and their attitude to HPV vaccination.Study design:Individual interviews with 13 midwives working at youth clinics in Sweden. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analysed by qualitative content analysis.Results: Three themes were identified in the qualitative content analysis: “Cervical cancer prevention not a prioritised area”, “Ambivalence to the HPV vaccine”, and “Gender and socioeconomic controversies”. Few midwives talked spontaneously about cervical cancer prevention. The responsibility for providing information about HPV vaccination was considered as primarily that of school health nurses and parents. Midwives were positive about the HPV vaccination, but recognised certain risks, such as its potential negative impact on cervical cancer screening and increased sexual risk taking. The midwives expressed concerns with medical risks, such as side effects and unknown long-term effects of the HPV vaccine. The midwives in the study had ethical concerns that boys were not included in the program and not all families had the financial resources to vaccinate their children. Thus, weak socioeconomic groups might be excluded.Conclusion: The midwives considered cervical cancer prevention as important, but did not integrate information on the HPV vaccine into their routine work, mainly because young people visiting youth clinics had had their sexual debut and they were concerned about the medical risks and that the vaccine was too expensive.

- Since the widespread introduction of cervical cancer screening programs the incidence and mortality of cervical cancer has declined. In general, cervical cancer screening programs are viewed as a valuable component of preventive health services, but are also associated with negative effects for participants. The side effects of cervical cancer screening include anxiety, false reassurance and overdiagnosis. The purpose of the present review was to study the research literature on psychological adjustment among women undergoing cervical cancer screening. The review revealed two main areas with barriers to cervical cancer screening, the pelvic examination and Pap smear results. Women felt anxiety and embarrassment during the pelvic examination and highlighted the importance of a suitable examiner. Fear of negative results played a major role in women's decisions to participate. Fearing results of the Pap smear could be a source of distress.

- ObjectivesTo explore young women’s decision-making process for HPV vaccination and to identify their beliefs about HPV vaccination.MethodsThis study employs a qualitative design. Data was collected by audio-taped interviews with 16 HPV vaccinated Swedish women, 17–26 years old. The data was analysed using latent content analysis.ResultsThree themes emerged from the data: “Fear of cancer”, “Reliance on vaccination” and “Mother – the main motivational factor”. One of the major reasons for taking the decision to be HPV vaccinated was fear of cancer: vaccination was seen as a way to protect oneself against this. The young women’s decision-making surrounding HPV vaccination was based on reliance on vaccination and trust in health care. Support from the mothers of the young women and mothers’ sponsorship of costs initiated HPV vaccination. Other motivational factors were advertisements and friends. Despite having been vaccinated, the young women were unaware of the relation between cervical cancer, sexual behaviour and HPV.ConclusionThese HPV vaccinated young women had limited knowledge about HPV. Therefore it is important that health professionals provide comprehensible information about HPV vaccination in attaining informed consent. In order to avoid misunderstandings, health care professionals in youth clinics and schools need to initiate discussion with young women, clarifying the relation between cervical cancer, HPV and sexual transmission.

- BackgroundYoung adults are at risk for HIV/STIs because they generally have an active sex life with multiple sexual partners; moreover, they use condoms to a lesser extent. Travelling increases sexually risky behaviour, and among both women and men, sexual contacts abroad are common. Better knowledge of how young adults experience prevention efforts prior to travelling, and what they prefer, is important when planning prevention efforts to this group. Experiences of and attitudes towards prevention efforts against HIV/STI among young adults in Sweden who have travelled abroad were investigated.MethodWe conducted 12 focus-group interviews and four individual interviews with young adults (20-29 years) who had travelled abroad within the last 12 months. The interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analysed using thematic content analysis. Results were discussed from a salutogenic perspective.ResultsOnly a few had any experience of prevention efforts against HIV/STIs. The majority welcomed the idea of prevention efforts prior to travelling and would have welcomed more, preferably short reminders or links to reliable websites, or someone professional to discuss the issue with. Most of the young adults would use the Internet to search for information. They proposed the possibility of reaching young adults through social media, and the importance of better basic knowledge in school.ConclusionIt is difficult to reach young adults before their trips abroad. Prevention efforts on HIV/STI must therefore focus on the use of established forums. Setting the foundation for a positive attitude towards condom use is needed during school years. Even social media, where there is the possibility for dialogue, should be used as an information source
