摘要
背景:在COVID-19大流行期间,疫苗犹豫再次成为一个关键的公共卫生问题。目的:本研究评估COVID-19康复患者对疫苗接种的担忧及疫苗犹豫的预测因素。方法:这是一项对沙特阿拉伯319名从COVID-19康复的成年患者进行的横断面研究。该试验于2020年5月1日至10月1日在利雅得阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王医疗城进行。每个参与者在康复后6-12个月使用疫苗接种态度检查量表进行访谈。收集了COVID-19疾病严重程度、社会人口统计学特征、慢性病史和COVID-19后疫苗接种的数据。根据百分比平均评分(PMS)评估疫苗接种关注水平。结果:大多数(85.3%)新冠肺炎康复患者对疫苗接种表示中度总体担忧(PMS = 68.96%)。对疫苗益处不信任的担忧最高(PMS = 90.28%),其次是自然免疫偏好(PMS = 81.33%)和对疫苗副作用的担忧(PMS = 60.29%)。对商业暴利的担忧较低(PMS = 43.92%)。45岁以上的患者(t = 3.12, P = 0.002)和经历过严重COVID-19疾病的患者(t = 1.96, P = 0.05)对疫苗接种的担忧总体PMS显著高于对照组(t = 3.12, P = 0.002)。结论:预防接种总体关注度高,个别关注度高。应在出院前针对COVID-19患者进行疫苗预防再感染的患者教育。
Assessment of concerns about vaccination among recovered COVID-19 patients in Saudi Arabia.
Background: Vaccine hesitancy re-emerged as a critical public health issue during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Aims: This study assessed the concerns of recovered COVID-19 patients about vaccination and the predictors of vaccine hesitancy.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 319 adult patients who recovered from COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia. It was conducted during 1 May to 1 October 2020 at King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh. Each participant was interviewed 6-12 months post-recovery using the vaccination attitude examination scale. Data were collected on COVID-19 illness severity, sociodemographic characteristics, history of chronic disease, and post-COVID-19 vaccination. Level of vaccination concern was assessed based on the percentage mean score (PMS).
Results: Most (85.3%) of the patients who recovered from COVID-19 expressed moderate overall concern (PMS = 68.96%) about vaccination. Concern was highest for mistrust in vaccine benefits (PMS = 90.28%), followed by natural immunity preference (PMS = 81.33%) and worries about the vaccine side-effects (PMS = 60.29%). Concern over commercial profiteering was low (PMS = 43.92%). The overall PMS for concern about vaccination was significantly higher among patients aged 45+ years (t = 3.12, P = 0.002) and among those who had experienced severe COVID-19 illness (t = 1.96, P = 0.05).
Conclusion: Overall concern about vaccination was high, and specific concerns were prevalent. Patient education on how the vaccine protects against reinfection should be targeted at COVID-19 patients before being discharged from hospital.
