Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: COVID-19 vaccines are vital tools for infection prevention and control of the pandemic. However, coronavirus immunization requires acceptance among healthcare workforces and by the community. In Ethiopia, studies focused on determinants of vaccine acceptance, knowledge, attitude, and prevention practices (KAP) contrary to the novel coronavirus among healthcare staff are limited. Hence, closing this gap requires research.
UNASSIGNED: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 844 governmental healthcare workers. A stratified, simple random sampling technique was used to select the respondents. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Binary and multivariable logistic regression statistical models were used to analyze the data.
UNASSIGNED: This study indicated that only 57.9% of the participants had good COVID-19 vaccine acceptance, meaning they took at least a dose of the vaccine themselves. We found that 65%, 60.9%, and 51.3% of the participants had good knowledge, prevention practices, and attitude against the pandemic. The novel coronavirus vaccine acceptance rate was 2.19 times more likely among females (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.19 with 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.54-3.10) than among male participants. Further, respondents who did not report having any chronic diseases were 9.40 times higher to accept COVID-19 vaccines (AOR = 9.40 with 95% CI: 4.77, 18.53) than those who reported having a chronic condition. However, healthcare workers who had a habit of chewing khat at least once per week were 4% less likely to take the vaccine (AOR = 0.04 with 95% CI: 0.01, 0.32) than those who had no habit of chewing khat.
UNASSIGNED: Many core factors influencing COVID-19 vaccine acceptance were identified. A significant number of participants had poor vaccine acceptance, KAP against COVID-19. Therefore, the government should adopt urgent and effective public health measures, including public campaigns to enhance public trust in COVID-19 vaccines. In addition, continuous, timely, and practical training should be provided to healthcare workers.
摘要:
未经授权:COVID-19疫苗是预防和控制感染的重要工具。然而,冠状病毒免疫接种需要医疗保健工作人员和社区的接受。在埃塞俄比亚,研究集中在疫苗接受度的决定因素上,知识,态度,与新型冠状病毒相反的预防措施(KAP)在医护人员中是有限的。因此,缩小这一差距需要研究。
未经评估:对844名政府医护人员进行了一项横断面研究。一个分层的,使用简单随机抽样技术选择受访者。使用结构化问卷收集数据。采用二元和多变量logistic回归统计模型对数据进行分析。
UNASSIGNED:这项研究表明,只有57.9%的参与者对COVID-19疫苗的接受度很好,这意味着他们自己至少接种了一剂疫苗。我们发现65%,60.9%,51.3%的参与者有良好的知识,预防措施,以及对流行病的态度。女性的新型冠状病毒疫苗接受率是男性参与者的2.19倍(调整后优势比[AOR]=2.19,95%置信区间[CI]:1.54-3.10)。Further,未报告患有任何慢性病的受访者接受COVID-19疫苗的比例是报告患有慢性病的受访者的9.40倍(AOR=9.40,95%CI:4.77,18.53)。然而,有每周至少一次咀嚼卡塔叶习惯的医护人员接种疫苗的可能性比没有咀嚼卡塔叶习惯的医护人员低4%(AOR=0.04,95%CI:0.01,0.32).
未经批准:确定了许多影响COVID-19疫苗接受度的核心因素。相当数量的参与者对疫苗的接受度很低,KAP对抗COVID-19。因此,政府应采取紧急有效的公共卫生措施,包括提高公众对COVID-19疫苗信任的公共运动。此外,连续,及时,应向医护人员提供实践培训。
