Abstract

               Cervical cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in Thai women which is mainly caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). Nowadays, HPV vaccines have been developed to prevent cervical cancer. It was found that in Thailand, not every group of people vulnerable to the disease have access to HPV vaccines, while nurses’ knowledge related to HPV vaccine is at a moderate level. Moreover, clients also lack sufficient information about HPV vaccines. Therefore, it is important for nurses to take a key role in increasing the success of HPV vaccination. There should be up-to-date training regarding HPV infection and vaccine for nurses. Children, teenagers and parents should be appropriately educated and receive accurate information regarding cervical cancer, advantages of the HPV vaccine, and ways vaccination should be administrated as well as its limitation. A proactive approach should be taken in providing services in order to prevent cervical cancer and administering of the HPV vaccination. Research on the causes of difficulties and barriers to receiving the vaccination should be conducted.
