摘要

目的本研究旨在调查昆士兰地区大学健康科学专业学生对麻疹、腮腺炎和风疹的知识、态度和信念，以及他们对职业免疫要求的理解。方法采用横断面调查法，于2023年7月至2024年5月通过在线问卷收集定量数据。结果学生对麻疹、腮腺炎和风疹（MMR）的传播、严重程度和治疗知识有限。67.27% （n=37）的人认识到MMR的严重性，只有40.38% （n=21）的人认识到感染可获得终身免疫。尽管存在知识差距，59% （n=23）的人支持为缺乏MMR抗体的人接种疫苗，75% （n=30）的人建议进行免疫检测。结论卫生科学专业学生在MMR知识和职业免疫意识方面存在严重差距。卫生科学专业学生在MMR知识方面的差距对临床实习期间的公共卫生构成风险。加强卫生课程中的免疫教育，促进免疫检测和疫苗接种，对于确保未来的卫生保健工作者做好充分准备，保护自己和患者，并防止在卫生保健环境中传播疫苗可预防的疾病至关重要。

Attitudes, beliefs, and knowledge about MMR vaccination among university students: Findings from a cross-sectional survey

Objective

This study aims to examine the knowledge, attitudes and beliefs of health science students at a regional Queensland university regarding measles, mumps, and rubella, as well as their understanding of occupational immunisation requirements.

Methods

A cross-sectional survey was conducted, collecting quantitative data via an online questionnaire from July 2023 to May 2024.

Results

Students demonstrated limited knowledge of measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) transmission, severity and treatment. While 67.27 % (n=37) recognised the seriousness of MMR, only 40.38 % (n=21) understood that infection confers lifelong immunity. Despite knowledge gaps, 59 % (n=23) supported vaccination for those lacking MMR antibodies, and 75 % (n=30) would recommend immunity testing.

Conclusions

There are critical gaps in MMR knowledge and awareness of occupational immunisation among health science students.

Implications for Public Health

Gaps in MMR knowledge among health science students present a risk to public health during clinical placements. Strengthening immunisation education in health curricula and promoting immunity testing and vaccination are vital for ensuring future healthcare workers are adequately prepared to protect themselves and their patients, and to prevent transmission of vaccine-preventable diseases in healthcare settings.

期刊介绍： The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health (ANZJPH) is concerned with public health issues. The research reported includes formal epidemiological inquiries into the correlates and causes of diseases and health-related behaviour, analyses of public policy affecting health and disease, and detailed studies of the cultures and social structures within which health and illness exist. The Journal is multidisciplinary and aims to publish methodologically sound research from any of the academic disciplines that constitute public health.
