背景：季节性流感感染是世界范围内发病和死亡的主要原因。卫生保健工作者（HCW）是流感疫苗接种的重要目标群体，因为他们的感染风险增加，并有可能将感染传播给患者，家庭和社区。本研究的目的是评估阿曼南Al Batinah省医务工作者对流感疫苗接种的潜在犹豫及其相关因素。研究方法：2019年5月和6月，使用自填问卷对390名直接或间接接触患者的医务人员进行了横断面调查。HCW的特点和疫苗接种状况之间的关联进行了检查，使用双变量和多变量分析，以确定针对季节性流感疫苗接种HCW之间的可能性。总体而言，60%的医护人员在2018/2019赛季接种了疫苗;护士的疫苗接种率为52%，女性的接种率更高。自我保护和社区保护是接受疫苗的最多理由，副作用是犹豫不决的主要原因。接种疫苗的受访者的平均知识得分（7.18;标准差SD：2.14）高于未接种疫苗的受访者（6.30; SD：2.2）。在认为医务工作者应强制接种流感疫苗的受访者中，接种疫苗的几率最高（比值比（OR）：2.04 [1.30-3.18]），在普通医学、急诊医学或重症监护室工作的人（OR：1.92 [1.20-3.10]）、护士和医生（OR：1.75 [1.09-2.79]）以及认为医务人员应接种流感疫苗的人群（OR：1.35 [1.07-2.77]）。结论：该研究为HCW中流感疫苗接种实践的推动因素和障碍提供了有价值的见解，并可能为提高疫苗接种接受度的干预措施提供信息。
Background: Seasonal influenza infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Healthcare workers (HCWs) are an important target group for vaccination against influenza due to their increased risk of infection and their potential to transmit the infection to their patients, families and communities. The aim of this study was to assess the potential hesitancy and its associated factors towards influenza vaccination amongst HCWs in the South Al Batinah governorate in Oman. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 390 HCWs with direct or indirect patient contact was conducted in May and June 2019 using a self-administered questionnaire. Associations between HCW characteristics and vaccination status were examined using bivariate and multivariate analyses to identify the likelihood of vaccination against seasonal influenza among HCWs. Results: Overall, 60% of HCWs were vaccinated in the 2018/2019 season; vaccine uptake among nurses was 52% and uptake was higher among women. Self-protection and protection of the community were the most cited reasons for vaccine acceptance, with side effects being the main reason for hesitancy. Vaccinated respondents had a higher mean knowledge score (7.18; standard deviation SD: 2.14) than unvaccinated respondents (6.30; SD: 2.2). Odds of vaccination were highest among respondents who believed influenza vaccine should be mandatory for HCWs (Odds ratio (OR): 2.04 [1.30–3.18]), those working in the general medicine, emergency medicine, or intensive care units (OR: 1.92 [1.20–3.10]), nurses and doctors (OR: 1.75 [1.09–2.79]) and those who believe that HCWs should receive an influenza vaccine (OR: 1.35 [1.07–2.77]). Conclusions: The study provides valuable insights into the enablers and barriers of influenza vaccination practices among HCWs and may inform interventions to increase acceptance of vaccination.
