摘要

几项研究调查了COVID-19疫苗的可接受性和犹豫性，特别是在卫生保健工作者(HCWs)中。然而，苏丹卫生保健员对该疫苗的接受程度仍不清楚。目的:我们调查了苏丹卫生保健工作者对COVID-19疫苗的可接受性及其决定因素。方法:采用半结构化问卷，我们对2021年3月至4月期间苏丹卫生保健工作者中COVID-19疫苗犹豫及其相关决定因素进行了基于网络的横断面研究。结果:共有576名医护人员回应调查。平均年龄35岁。女性(53.3%)、医生(55.4%)和居住在喀土穆州的人(76.0%)各占参与者的一半以上。16.0%的受访者表示绝对拒绝接种新冠肺炎疫苗。男性接受疫苗的可能性是女性的两倍多。较低的可接受性与护士(OR = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.15-0.82, P < 0.001)、疫苗感知危害增加(OR = 0.11, 95% CI: 0.05-0.23, P < 0.001)、对疫苗来源缺乏信心(OR = 0.16, 95% CI: 0.08-0.31, P < 0.001)和对监督接种过程的组织或政府部门缺乏信心(OR = 0.31, 95% CI: 0.17-0.58, P < 0.001)有统计学意义上的显著相关。结论:本研究强调苏丹卫生保健工作者对COVID-19疫苗的接受程度中等。应特别考虑解决女性卫生保健员和护士的疫苗犹豫问题。

Acceptability of COVID-19 vaccination among healthcare workers in Sudan.

Introduction: Several studies have investigated COVID-19 vaccine acceptability and hesitancy, especially among healthcare workers (HCWs). However, acceptability of the vaccine by HCWs in Sudan remains unclear.

Aims: We investigated acceptability of the COVID-19 vaccine and its determinants among HCWs in Sudan.

Methods: Using a semi-structured questionnaire, we conducted a web-based cross-sectional study of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and its associated determinants among healthcare workers in Sudan during March-April 2021.

Results: A total of 576 HCWs responded to the survey. Mean age was 35 years. Females (53.3%), medical doctors (55.4%) and being located in Khartoum State (76.0%) each accounted for more than half of the participants. Absolute refusal of the COVID-19 vaccine was expressed by 16.0% of the respondents. Males were more than twice as likely to accept the vaccine as females. Lower acceptability was statistically significantly associated with the nurses (OR = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.15-0.82, P < 0.001), increased perceived harm from the vaccine (OR = 0.11, 95% CI: 0.05-0.23, P < 0.001), lack of confidence in the source of the vaccine (OR = 0.16, 95% CI: 0.08-0.31, P < 0.001) and lack of confidence in organizations or government sectors supervising the vaccination process (OR = 0.31, 95% CI: 0.17-0.58, P < 0.001).

Conclusion: This study highlights a moderate level of COVID-19 vaccine acceptability among HCWs in Sudan. Special consideration should be given to addressing vaccine hesitancy among female HCWs and nurses.
