Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Influenza infection is a health burden in children, and the influenza vaccine is an important prevention strategy for flu illness. Parents play a crucial role in children\'s influenza vaccination. The study aimed to assess parental knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to influenza illness for their children and explore factors that may impact their decisions.
UNASSIGNED: This cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary hospital in Guangzhou from November 2022 to April 2023. Answers to KAP questions regarding influenza illness and vaccination were summed, with a total KAP score of 20. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models and linear regression models were conducted to explore the factors associated with influenza vaccination. The results were presented as odds ratios (ORs), β, and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
UNASSIGNED: Overall, 530 parents were respondents, of whom 162 (30.56%) had vaccinated their children during the past year. The mean KAP score (standard deviation) was 13.40 (3.57). Compared to parents who reported non-vaccinated for their children in the past year, the parents who reported an influenza vaccination have higher knowledge scores, attitude scores, practice scores, and total scores. Child body mass index, parental education level (under college), parental work (part-time), and more than two family members over 60 years old were negatively correlated with knowledge score. Child health condition and knowledge score were positively correlated with attitude score. Parental age was negatively associated with attitude score.
UNASSIGNED: Though high awareness about influenza illness and vaccination for parents, the coverage rate of influenza vaccination in children was lower in Guangzhou. Implementing public health policies is necessary to spread knowledge about influenza illness and vaccination and to promote the practice of receiving the influenza vaccine in children. Education campaigns would help change the attitudes of parents toward vaccinating their children against the flu.

摘要：
■流感感染是儿童的健康负担，流感疫苗是流感疾病的重要预防策略。父母在儿童流感疫苗接种中起着至关重要的作用。这项研究旨在评估父母的知识，态度，与儿童流感疾病相关的实践（KAP），并探讨可能影响其决定的因素。
■这项横断面研究于2022年11月至2023年4月在广州市的一家三级医院进行。总结了有关流感疾病和疫苗接种的KAP问题的答案，KAP总分为20分。采用单因素、多因素logistic回归模型和线性回归模型探讨流感疫苗接种的相关因素。结果以赔率比(OR)表示，β,和95%置信区间(CI)。
■总的来说，530名父母是受访者，其中162人(30.56%)在过去一年中接种了疫苗。平均KAP评分（标准差）为13.40（3.57）。与过去一年报告未给孩子接种疫苗的父母相比，报告流感疫苗接种的父母的知识得分更高，态度得分,练习分数,和总分。儿童体重指数,父母教育水平（大学以下），父母工作（兼职），60岁以上的两个以上家庭成员与知识得分呈负相关。儿童健康状况和知识得分与态度得分呈正相关。父母年龄与态度得分呈负相关。
■尽管父母对流感疾病和疫苗接种有很高的认识，广州市儿童流感疫苗接种率较低。实施公共卫生政策对于传播有关流感疾病和疫苗接种的知识以及促进儿童接种流感疫苗的做法是必要的。教育运动将有助于改变父母对给孩子接种流感疫苗的态度。
