■猴痘(Mpox)在传播到非流行国家后已成为全球关注的问题。世界卫生组织(WHO)已宣布这是国际关注的突发公共卫生事件,并建议在风险最高的人群中首先接种疫苗。风险认知和主观规范会影响疫苗接种的决定。因此,我们打算对我国男性人群进行横断面研究,以评估他们对水痘的风险认知和主观规范.
■我们使用Google表格测量参与者的风险认知和主观规范。使用结构化问卷获得参与者的人口统计特征。我们进行了χ2检验,比较了风险感知和主观规范感知的水平,并进行了多元逻辑回归分析,以确定研究参数与参与者的社会人口统计学特征之间的关联。
■在参与者中,93(23.72%),288(73.47%),11人(2.81%)偏高,中等,和低风险观念,分别。对于主观规范,我们观察到288(58.16%)参与者有中等,117(29.85%)有高,47人(11.99%)的主观规范水平较低,分别。大多数参与者具有中等风险感知(73.47%)和主观规范(58.16%)。此外,我们观察到中等风险感知在体重指数(BMI)水平在18.5和25之间的人群中普遍存在(73.3%),已婚(63.5%),低经济背景(94.1%),与家人生活在一起(77.1%),吸烟者(68.4%),异性恋者(99%)2019年冠状病毒病(Covid-19)对生活没有/影响很小的人(91%)。具有中等主观规范BMI水平18.5-25的人的比例(73.2%),已婚(60.5%),经济地位低(93.9%),农村(58.8%),与家人生活在一起(77.2%),不吸烟者(71.1%),以及生活中没有/几乎没有新冠肺炎影响的人(91.2%)。
■大多数参与者认为与Mpox相关的中等风险感知和主观规范。此外,我们观察到研究参数与研究参与者的社会人口统计学特征之间存在显著关联.我们建议进一步的纵向研究,以产生更准确的结果。
UNASSIGNED: Monkeypox (Mpox) has become a concern worldwide after spreading into nonendemic countries. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared this a public health emergency of international concern and recommended to get vaccinated first who are at the highest risk. Risk perception and subjective norms can influence the decision of vaccine uptake. Therefore, we intended to perform a cross-sectional
study on the male population in our country to assess their risk perception and subjective norms on Mpox.
UNASSIGNED: We measured participants\' risk perception and subjective norms using Google form. Demographic profile of participants was obtained using a structured questionnaire. We performed a χ 2 test to compare the levels of risk perception and subjective norm perception and multiple logistic regression analysis to determine the association between the
study parameters and the sociodemographic profile of the participants.
UNASSIGNED: Among the participants, 93 (23.72%), 288 (73.47%), and 11 (2.81%) had high, medium, and low-risk perceptions, respectively. For subjective norms, we observed 288 (58.16%) participants had a medium, 117 (29.85%) had high, and 47 (11.99%) had low levels of subjective norms, respectively. Most participants possessed medium risk perception (73.47%) and subjective norms (58.16%). Moreover, we observed that moderate risk perception was prevalent in people with body mass index (BMI) level between 18.5 and 25 (73.3%), married (63.5%), low economic background (94.1%), living with a family (77.1%), smokers (68.4%), heterosexuals (99%), people with no/little impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) on life (91%). Proportions of people with moderate subjective norms BMI level of 18.5-25 (73.2%), married (60.5%), low economic status (93.9%), rural (58.8%), living with family (77.2%), nonsmokers (71.1%), and people with no/little impact of Covid-19 in their lives (91.2%).
UNASSIGNED: The majority of participants perceived medium risk perception and subjective norms related to Mpox. Furthermore, we observed a significant association between the
study parameters and the sociodemographic characteristics of our
study participants. We recommend that further longitudinal studies to yield more accurate results.
