Abstract: Objective To analyze the HPV vaccination intention of college students in Xinjiang and its influencing factors based on the information-motivation-behavior (IMB)model,and to provide a reference for the promotion of HPV vaccine among college students in Xinjiang. Methods The stratified cluster sampling was used to conduct a questionnaire survey on college students from three universities in Xinjiang to collect HPV vaccination intention,socio-demographic characteristics,attitudes towards vaccine and sexual behavior,HPV-related information,and motivation and behavioral skills to vaccinate HPV vaccine. The c2 test and t-test were used to compare the differences between groups. Unconditional multifactorial logistic regression was used to explore the influencing factors of HPV vaccination intention among college students. Results Among the 834 college students in Xinjiang,559 (67.0%)had the intention to receive HPV vaccination. College students who were female (OR=3.219),had actively searched for or consulted HPV vaccine (OR=2.630),had mild perceptual impairment (OR=0.626),and had higher social motivation (OR=1.959)had higher HPV vaccination intention (P<0.05). Conclusions The overall HPV vaccination intention of college students in Xinjiang is high,and the vaccination intention of male students needed to be further improved. Focusing on improving college students' cognitive level of HPV and social motivation for HPV vaccination,reducing college students' perceived barriers to HPV vaccination,and adjusting male HPV prevention strategies will effectively improve the HPV vaccination intention of college students in Xinjiang.
