医护人员处于COVID-19大流行的前线，并已被确定为COVID-19疫苗的优先目标群体。本研究旨在确定塞浦路斯护士和助产士的COVID-19疫苗接种意向，并揭示影响其决定的影响因素。基于互联网的横断面调查于2020年12月8日至28日进行。使用自填式问卷完成数据收集，问卷包括社会人口统计学特征、评估一般疫苗接种相关意图和行为的问题以及接受COVID-19疫苗接种的意图。437名受访者回答了调查，其中93%是护士，7%是助产士。一小部分参与者会接受新冠疫苗，而70%的人可以被定性为“疫苗犹豫”。未接种COVID-19疫苗的主要原因是担心疫苗的快速开发和担心副作用。与不打算接受COVID-19疫苗接种和尚未决定的群体相比，更多的女性、年龄中位数较大的个体和工作经验年限较高的群体打算接受COVID-19疫苗接种（p < 0.01）。在过去5年中接种过季节性流感疫苗、接受过推荐给卫生专业人员的疫苗以及在私营部门工作的人接受COVID-19疫苗接种的可能性更高。塞浦路斯相当比例的护士和助产士报告说，由于疫苗相关问题，他们不愿意接种COVID-19疫苗。我们的研究结果强调了即将开展的疫苗接种活动和计划的必要性，以解决冠状病毒疫苗犹豫障碍，以实现理想的疫苗接种覆盖率。
Healthcare workers are at the frontline of the COVID-19 pandemic and have been identified as a priority target group for COVID-19 vaccines. This study aimed to determine the COVID-19 vaccination intention among nurses and midwives in Cyprus and reveal the influential factors that affected their decision. An Internet-based cross-sectional survey was conducted between December 8 and 28, 2020. Data collection was accomplished using a self-administered questionnaire with questions about socio-demographic characteristics, questions assessing general vaccination-related intentions and behaviors, and the intention to accept COVID-19 vaccination. A sample of 437 responders answered the survey, with 93% being nurses and 7% midwives. A small proportion of the participants would accept a vaccine against COVID-19, while 70% could be qualified as “vaccine hesitant.” The main reasons for not receiving the COVID-19 vaccine were concerns about the vaccine's expedited development and fear of side effects. More females, individuals with a larger median age, and a higher number of years of working experience, intended to accept the COVID-19 vaccination, compared with those not intended to accept and undecided groups (p < 0.01). Having a seasonal flu vaccination in the last 5 years, receiving the vaccines recommended for health professionals, and working in the private sector were associated with a higher probability of COVID-19 vaccination acceptance. A considerable rate of nurses and midwives in Cyprus reported unwillingness to receive a COVID-19 vaccine due to vaccine-related concerns. Our findings highlight the need for forthcoming vaccination campaigns and programs to tackle coronavirus vaccine hesitancy barriers to achieve the desirable vaccination coverage.
