- Abstract
- Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify health beliefs and knowledge related to hepatitis A vaccination (HAV). Preventative behaviors related to HAV were also examined. Methods: The convenience sample of 332 students were drawn from a university in Chung-nam province. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe' test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression with SPSS for Windows 21.0 software. Results: Vaccination rates for hepatitis A were 23.4%. The mean scores of health beliefs, knowledge and preventative behaviors related to hepatitis A were 2.38±0.25, 0.34±0.30, and 3.15±0.40 respectively. The factors found to be related to hepatitis A preventative behaviors were HAV, having the HAV antibody and health beliefs. Conclusion: An experience of HAV, having HAV antibody, and positive health beliefs related to hepatitis A may be necessary to increase voluntary hepatitis A preventive behaviors among university students. It is essential to develop the strategy of educating university students about HAV and having HAV antibody as well as reinforcing health beliefs about hepatitis A which prevent the hepatitis A occurrence. © 2015 Korean Society of Adult Nursing.
