Abstract

to assess the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women towards COVID-19 vaccination and the factors that affect them.

this is a cross-sectional and analytical study with 407 pregnant women. The COVID-19 Vaccine Knowledge and Attitude Scale was used to assess the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women towards COVID-19 vaccination. Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis H tests were used for statistical analysis.

it was found that 63.88% of the sample had a negative opinion about being vaccinated against COVID-19 during pregnancy. Seventy-five percent of the pregnant women believed that the vaccine would harm their fetus. The mean subscale scores of the severity (p = 0.001) and benefit (p = 0.001) of the vaccine were significantly higher in pregnant women with a higher level of education and in the first trimester (p = 0.001). It was found that pregnant women who stated that they had sufficient information about COVID-19 had significantly higher severity (p = 0.001) and benefit (p = 0.031) subscale mean scores and had a more positive attitude against COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy.

most pregnant women had negative attitudes due to concerns that the COVID-19 vaccine would harm the fetus. Healthcare professionals should provide education about the importance of vaccination during pregnancy for maternal and infant health during pregnancy follow-up.

孕妇对COVID-19疫苗接种的知识和态度

评估孕妇对COVID-19疫苗接种的知识和态度及其影响因素。这是一项针对407名孕妇的横断面分析研究。采用新冠肺炎疫苗知识态度量表评估孕妇对新冠肺炎疫苗接种的知识和态度。采用Mann-Whitney U检验和Kruskal-Wallis H检验进行统计分析。结果发现，63.88%的样本对怀孕期间接种COVID-19疫苗持否定态度。75%的孕妇认为疫苗会伤害胎儿。在受教育程度较高的孕妇和妊娠早期，疫苗严重程度（p = 0.001）和益处（p = 0.001）的平均亚量表得分显著较高（p = 0.001）。结果发现，对COVID-19有足够信息的孕妇，其严重程度（p = 0.001）和受益程度（p = 0.031）亚量表平均得分明显更高，并且对怀孕期间接种COVID-19疫苗持更积极的态度。由于担心新冠病毒疫苗会对胎儿造成伤害，大多数孕妇持否定态度。卫生保健专业人员应提供关于怀孕期间接种疫苗对妊娠随访期间母婴健康的重要性的教育。
