摘要

背景:母亲对儿童疫苗接种的知识、态度和实践是预防传染病流行的最充分的工具。对免疫知识、态度和做法的研究将有助于我们理解影响父母免疫决策的变量。目的和目的:评估芒格洛尔Bantwal Taluk农村地区5岁以下儿童母亲在免疫接种方面的知识、态度和做法。材料和方法:这是一项基于横断面问卷的研究,于2021年11月至2022年1月在芒格洛尔农村地区对486名5岁以下儿童的母亲进行了调查。数据是使用预先测试的半结构化问卷收集的。使用描述性统计、卡方检验和以频率、比例和百分比表示的结果对数据进行分析。结果:99.8%的母亲知道接种疫苗可以预防儿童感染性疾病及其并发症。23.2%的母亲有误解,认为多次接种同一种疫苗对孩子的免疫力并不重要。4.4%的母亲认为为孩子接种疫苗的疫苗接种运动并不重要。相当大比例(26.3%)的人认为同时接种多种疫苗会对孩子产生负面影响。大多数母亲认为儿童接种疫苗很重要,接种疫苗弊大于利。77%的人认为,一旦接种疫苗,孩子就不会感染这种疾病。99.6%的儿童在出生时接种了疫苗,98.8%的儿童完全接种了疫苗。大多数儿童没有接种选择性疫苗。结论:大多数母亲意识到接种疫苗的必要性,对相同和令人满意的免疫接种做法持积极态度。大多数儿童已经完成了同龄儿童的免疫接种,这反过来又反映了母亲的足够知识。
