METHODS: We conducted an analytical cross-sectional study between March 12 and May 9, 2022 among all consenting/assenting community members aged 15 years and above in 28 randomly selected geographical clusters. A structured interviewer-administered electronic questionnaire in KoBoCollect installed in android devices was used to collect data which was analysed using descriptive statistics and bivariate and multivariate generalized estimating equations.
RESULTS: Of the 10,825 community members surveyed: only 31.6% had strong COVID-19 experience and perception, 72.2% had good COVID-19 vaccination expectation and perception, and only 54.2% had positive COVID-19 vaccination process experience and perception. The most important predictors of the extent/level of COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccination and the vaccination process experiences and perceptions were level of attitude towards COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccination and level of knowledge about COVID-19. Other important predictors were marital status, educational level, and main occupation.
CONCLUSIONS: This study\'s evidence, including the identified predictors, will inform subsequent policy actions regarding COVID-19 in the strategies to improve the COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccination and the vaccination process experiences and perceptions of community members (and their use of preventive/control measures) in Ebonyi state and Nigeria, and other similar contexts. It will also inform future policy actions/strategies regarding similar diseases.
方法:我们于2022年3月12日至5月9日在28个随机选择的地理集群中,对所有15岁及以上的同意/同意社区成员进行了分析性横断面研究。使用安装在Android设备中的KoBoCollect中的结构化面试官管理的电子问卷来收集数据,并使用描述性统计以及双变量和多变量广义估计方程进行分析。
结果:在接受调查的10825名社区成员中:只有31.6%的社区成员具有很强的COVID-19经验和感知能力,72.2%有良好的COVID-19疫苗接种预期和感知,只有54.2%的COVID-19疫苗接种过程经验和感知呈阳性。COVID-19和COVID-19疫苗接种程度/水平以及疫苗接种过程经验和看法的最重要预测因素是对COVID-19和COVID-19疫苗接种的态度水平和对COVID-19的知识水平。其他重要的预测因素是婚姻状况,教育水平,主要职业。
结论:这项研究的证据,包括确定的预测因子,将在Ebonyi州和尼日利亚改善COVID-19和COVID-19疫苗接种的战略以及社区成员的疫苗接种过程经验和看法(及其对预防/控制措施的使用)中通报有关COVID-19的后续政策行动,和其他类似的背景。它还将为未来关于类似疾病的政策行动/战略提供信息。
