Description
Summary:•Findings suggest that multi-component approach in HPV vaccination and addressing misconception among adolescents improves vaccination uptake.•Healthcare professional’s own vaccine concerns, hesitancy and inadequate knowledge hinders them from effectively playing their role as HPV-vaccine promotors signifying the need for further support and education.•Healthcare professional’s role are of critical importance in improving HPV vaccination uptake among adolescents. Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination coverage remains suboptimal with a global vaccination rate ranging from 12 to 90%. This review examined the approaches used by healthcare professionals in improving the uptake of HPV vaccine and reducing vaccine misconceptions among adolescents. A systematic review of literature between 2007 and 2021 was conducted using five databases: CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycInfo, Scopus and ASSIA. Studies that examined healthcare professional’s promotional strategies in improving the HPV vaccine uptake in adolescents were included. Two researchers independently reviewed study selection, data extraction, and study methodological quality. Results were analysed and synthesised using narrative synthesis. Twelve studies met the inclusion criteria. Studies reported on effective approaches used by healthcare professionals to improve vaccine uptake including the use of multi-settings to target hard-to-reach vulnerable adolescents; consistently recommending the vaccine; and initiating the vaccine before the age of eleven. In addressing vaccine misconceptions, open-communication, motivational approaches, and sexual health education were effective strategies used. This review found that healthcare professionals need to be better informed and educated on HPV vaccine to reduce their own vaccine hesitancy. Uptake of HPV vaccine can be improved by adopting better communication, engagement, supportive information resources, and training for healthcare professionals.
