Abstract

Objective: To evaluate hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine coverage and its associated factors among health science students in Vietnam. Methods: This cross-sectional study involving 459 health science students at Tra Vinh University was conducted between April and June 2022. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire with items on sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge and attitude about HBV, and vaccination status. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to explore the factors associated with vaccination status. Results: The majority of participants were female (65.8%) and enrolled at the medical school (56.2%). A total of 30.3% participants received the full dose of the HBV vaccine. The percentages of participants with sufficient knowledge and positive attitudes toward HBV infection were 75.2% and 43.4%, respectively. Vaccination was 11.8 times higher in sixth-year medical students than any healthcare student in their first-year [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 11.8, 95% CI 3.1-45.1, P<0.001], and the coverage was also significant higher in those who had sufficient knowledge (aOR 2.0, 95% CI 1.1-3.9, P<0.05) and positive attitudes (aOR 3.0, 95% CI 1.9-4.8, P<0.05) than in their counterparts. Conclusions: The majority of students were not fully vaccinated against HBV, indicating they were vulnerable to the disease. Administrators and authorities should reinforce health education messages aimed at encouraging all students to get vaccinated with the HBV vaccine, enhance their awareness and knowledge of HBV, and improve attitudes toward HBV infection prevention.
卫生科学专业学生乙型肝炎疫苗接种状况及相关因素
目的:了解越南卫生科学专业学生乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)疫苗接种覆盖率及其相关因素。方法:本横断面研究于2022年4月至6月在特拉荣大学进行,涉及459名健康科学专业的学生。数据采用结构化问卷收集,问卷内容包括社会人口学特征、乙肝病毒知识和态度以及疫苗接种状况。采用多变量logistic回归模型探讨与疫苗接种状况相关的因素。结果:大多数参与者为女性(65.8%),医学院在校生(56.2%)。总共有30.3%的参与者接受了全剂量的HBV疫苗。对HBV感染有充分知识和积极态度的比例分别为75.2%和43.4%。六年级医学生的疫苗接种率是任何一年级卫生保健专业学生的11.8倍[调整优势比(aOR) 11.8, 95% CI 3.1 ~ 45.1, P<0.001],知识充足(aOR 2.0, 95% CI 1.1 ~ 3.9, P<0.05)和积极态度(aOR 3.0, 95% CI 1.9 ~ 4.8, P<0.05)的接种率也显著高于其他学生。结论:大多数学生没有完全接种HBV疫苗,表明他们对该疾病易感。管理人员和当局应加强旨在鼓励所有学生接种HBV疫苗的健康教育信息,提高他们对HBV的认识和知识,并改善对HBV感染预防的态度。
