Abstract

Purpose: To assess and improve school nurse knowledge of HPV-associated cancers. Design: An experimental quality improvement study. Methods: At a continuing education regional conference, an interactive HPV education session was provided. Pre- and post-education surveys were completed by attendees. Findings: After the educational intervention, 89.9% of nurses indicated a change in knowledge and 83.2% indicated a planned change in practice. Conclusions: An education intervention aimed at school nurses can be impactful in broadening the understanding of HPV oncogenesis. Clinical Evidence: Educational interventions can be a strategy to increase school nurse knowledge and subsequently patient knowledge about HPV associated cancers.
