This study focused on evaluating the relationship between the level of knowledge about the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and the attitude towards its vaccination in mothers of young girls, in the context of the "La Colmena" Health Center in Guayaquil. The main objective was to determine how knowledge about HPV influences mothers' attitudes towards vaccinating their daughters, considering the importance of cervical cancer prevention. The sample consisted of 108 mothers, selected through probabilistic sampling. The methodology employed included the administration of questionnaires to measure the level of knowledge and attitude towards the HPV vaccine, complemented with the collection of sociodemographic data. SPSS software version 27 was used for statistical analysis, applying chi-square tests and V de Cramer's correlation. The results showed that the majority of mothers had poor knowledge about HPV (59.26%), although 48.15% showed a positive attitude towards vaccination. A significant correlation was identified between the level of education and knowledge about HPV, as well as between income level and attitude towards vaccination. In conclusion, the study highlights the need for educational interventions and effective communication to improve knowledge about HPV and foster positive attitudes towards vaccination, emphasizing the essential role of nursing in these initiatives.
