Abstract (2. Language): 
Objective: HPV vaccine enables primary prevention for cervical cancer. However, for its acceptance and usage by families, espe¬cially family physicians' recommendation is an important factor due to characteristics of the discipline. At this point physicians' level of knowledge can effect its recommendation. Our aim is to determine the level of knowledge about cervical cancer and HPV vaccine of primary care physicians. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional designed study was car¬ried out with physicians working in Family Healthcare Centers in Izmir. A questionnaire including participants' demographic characteristics, and 18 questions about cervical cancer and HPV vaccine was applied. Data were analyzed by SPSS 15.0 software with chi-square, t-test, and ANOVA; p<0.05 was considered statistical¬ly significant. Results: Of the physicians, 61.3% were male. Their mean age and professional experience were 44.22±6.56 and 19.37±6.34 years, respectively. 22.0% of physicians thought their female population aged 15-49 years often had sexually transmitted diseases; however, 30.7% didn't recommend the vaccine to the target group. The most important barrier for the vaccine is believed to be its cost by 72.0%. Physicians' mean score of knowledge was 7.29±3.02 out of 18 points. Conclusions: Training of physicians about HPV vaccine enables them to develop correct attitudes and behaviors.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Amaç: HPV aşısı, serviks kanserinden birincil korumayı sağlamaktadır; ancak aşının aileler tarafından kabulü ve kullanımı için, disiplinin özelliği nedeniyle aile hekimince önerilmesi önemlidir. Hekimin bilgi düzeyi, aşının önerilmesini etkileyebilir. Amacımız birinci basamakta çalışan hekimlerinin serviks kanseri ve HPV aşısı ile ilgi¬li bilgi düzeyini saptamaktır. Yöntem: Kesitsel tanımlayıcı olarak planlanan araştırma, izmir kentindeki aile sağlığı merkezlerinde çalışan hekimlerle yürütülmüştür. Katılımcılara demografik özellikleri, serviks kanseri ve HPV aşısı ile ilgili 18 bilgi sorusunu kapsayan bir soru formu uygulanmıştır. Araştırma verileri SPSS 15.0 programında ki-kare, t-testi ve ANOVA ile analiz edilmiş, p<0.05 anlamlı kabul edilmiştir. Bulgular: Hekimlerin %61.3'ü erkektir, yaş ortalaması ve meslekteki ortalama süreleri sırasıyla 44.22±6.56 ve 19.37±6.34 yıldır. Hekimlerin %22'si kendilerine bağlı 15^49 yaş arası kadınlarda cinsel yolla bulaşan hastalığın sık olduğunu düşünmekle birlikte %30.7'si HPV aşısını gereksinimi olan gruba hiç önermemektedir. Hekimlerin %72.0'si maliyeti aşı uygulamasının önündeki en önemli engel olarak görmektedir. Hekimlerin toplam bilgi puanı 18 puan üzerinden ortalama 7.29±3.02 bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Hekimlerin HPV aşısı ile ilgili doğru tutum ve davranış geliştirmeleri için bilgilendirilmeleri gereklidir.
