摘要

目的:COVID-19疫苗对保护孕妇及其婴儿至关重要,但许多外国出生的妇女在接种疫苗方面面临独特的挑战。本研究探讨了北三角国家(美国的萨尔瓦多、危地马拉和洪都拉斯)与covid -19相关的恐惧和疫苗接受度。方法:本横断研究旨在确定影响中美洲(特别是萨尔瓦多、危地马拉和洪都拉斯)居住在美国的外国出生孕妇接种COVID-19疫苗的因素。结果:该研究包括93名妇女(平均妊娠期:23.3周),其中大多数在美国生活了至少10年,文化适应程度较低。超过三分之二(66.7%)的人完全接种了疫苗。推动疫苗接受的关键因素包括卫生保健可及性、社区卫生倡议和可信提供者建议。强调家庭保护的文化价值观和对COVID-19的脆弱感也有助于提高疫苗接种率。然而,33.3%的人表示犹豫,特别是由于对政府的不信任、对针头的恐惧以及对疫苗快速发展的担忧,危地马拉的参与者表现出最高的犹豫。结论:研究结果强调了卫生保健提供者在疫苗接种决策中的关键作用,针对文化和情感因素的量身定制的沟通策略对于提高疫苗接种率至关重要,特别是在移民社区。

Exploring COVID-19 Vaccine Concerns, Uptake, and Hesitancy Among Pregnant Central American Immigrant Women in the United States During the Pandemic.

Objective: The COVID-19 vaccine is vital for protecting pregnant women and their babies, yet many foreign-born women face unique challenges in vaccine uptake. This study explores COVID-19-related fears and vaccine acceptance among from the Northern Triangle countries-El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras in the United States (U.S.).

Methods: This cross-sectional study aimed to identify factors influencing COVID-19 vaccination among foreign-born pregnant women from Central America, specifically El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, living in the U.S.

Results: The study included 93 women (mean gestation: 23.3 weeks), most of whom had lived in the U.S. for at least 10 years and had low acculturation. Over two-thirds (66.7%) were fully vaccinated. Key factors driving vaccine acceptance included healthcare access, community health initiatives, and trusted provider recommendations. Cultural values emphasizing family protection and a heightened sense of vulnerability to COVID-19 also contributed to higher vaccination rates. However, 33.3% expressed hesitancy, particularly due to distrust in government, fear of needles, and concerns about the vaccine's rapid development, with Guatemalan participants showing the highest hesitancy.

Conclusions: Findings underscore the critical role of healthcare providers in vaccination decisions, and tailored communication strategies addressing cultural and emotional factors are essential to improving vaccine uptake, particularly in immigrant communities.
