Abstract

Ethnic minority healthcare workers (EMHCW) are at high risk of COVID-19 infection and adverse health outcomes, but vaccine uptake is low among ethnic minority communities, including EMHCW. We explored the views of EMHCW towards COVID-19 Vaccine Education (CoVE), a digital training resource to improve knowledge and confidence for promoting the COVID-19 vaccine. Thirty EMHCW completed CoVE, then participated in a semi-structured qualitative interview. Principles of framework analysis were used to deductively analyse data using concepts from the Kirkpatrick New World Model of training evaluation. CoVE was viewed to be engaging, accessible and relevant to EMHCW. This training increased EMHCW perceived knowledge and confidence to provide evidence-based information to others, dispel myths, and reduce vaccine hesitancy. Participants reported changes in vaccine promotion behaviours and vaccine uptake. CoVE could be used to help improve vaccine literacy among EMHCW, enhance health communications about vaccines, and ultimately help facilitate uptake of occupational vaccination programs.

少数族裔医护人员对 COVID-19 疫苗教育（CoVE）的看法定性研究，以支持疫苗推广和使用

少数民族医护人员（EMHCW）是 COVID-19 感染和不良健康后果的高危人群，但包括少数民族医护人员在内的少数民族社区对疫苗的接种率却很低。我们探讨了少数族裔医护人员对 COVID-19 疫苗教育（COVE）的看法，COVE 是一种数字培训资源，旨在提高推广 COVID-19 疫苗的知识和信心。30 名幼儿保健工作者完成了 CoVE，然后参加了半结构化定性访谈。采用框架分析原则，利用柯克帕特里克新世界培训评估模型中的概念对数据进行演绎分析。人们认为，"社区保健教育 "很有吸引力，易于接受，而且与幼儿保健工作者息息相关。这项培训增加了幼儿保健工作者的知识和信心，使他们能够向他人提供以证据为基础的信息，消除误解，并减少对疫苗的犹豫。参与者报告了疫苗推广行为和疫苗接种率的变化。CoVE 可用于帮助提高幼儿保健工作者的疫苗知识水平，加强有关疫苗的健康传播，并最终帮助促进职业疫苗接种计划的实施。

期刊介绍： New Solutions delivers authoritative responses to perplexing problems, with a worker’s voice, an activist’s commitment, a scientist’s approach, and a policy-maker’s experience. New Solutions explores the growing, changing common ground at the intersection of health, work, and the environment. The Journal makes plain how the issues in each area are interrelated and sets forth progressive, thoughtfully crafted public policy choices. It seeks a conversation on the issues between the grassroots labor and environmental activists and the professionals and researchers involved in charting society’s way forward with the understanding that lack of scientific knowledge is no excuse for doing nothing and that inaction is itself a choice.
