这项研究的目的是估计如果在刚果卫生保健工作者（HCWs）中提供针对COVID-19的未来疫苗及其相关因素的可接受性，因为他们直接接触疾病最多。从2020年3月至4月30日，我们对位于三个城镇的23家刚果转诊医院（包括三所大学医院）进行了一项分析性横断面研究。主要结局变量是医护人员对未来COVID-19疫苗的接受程度。通过logistic回归分析确定疫苗接种意愿的相关因素。共有613名医护人员参与研究并完成研究问卷，其中男性312人（50.9%），女性301人（49.1%）。只有27.7%的卫生保健工作者表示，如果有COVID-19疫苗，他们会接受。从logistic回归分析来看，男性卫生保健工作者（ORa=1.17, 95% CI: 1.15-2.60）、主要是医生（ORa=1.59, 95% CI: 1.03-2.44）和对COVID-19疫苗持积极态度的人（ORa=11.49, 95% CI: 5.88-22.46）与报告接种意愿显著相关。对于接受COVID-19疫苗接种以及其他疫苗接种而言，卫生保健工作者的教育至关重要，因为卫生专业人员对疫苗的态度是他们自己接种疫苗以及向患者推荐疫苗的可能性的重要决定因素。
This study aims to estimate the acceptability of a future vaccine against COVID-19 and associated factors if offered in Congolese health-care workers (HCWs), since they have the highest direct exposure to the disease. We conducted an analytical cross-sectional study among 23 Congolese referral hospitals, including three university hospitals, located in three towns from March through 30 April 2020. The main outcome variable was healthcare workers’ acceptance of a future vaccine against COVID-19. The associated factors of vaccination willingness were identified through a logistic regression analysis. A sample of 613 HCWs participated in the study and completed the study questionnaire, including 312 (50.9%) men and 301 (49.1%) women. Only 27.7% of HCWs said that they would accept a COVID-19 vaccine if it was available. From the logistic regression analysis, male healthcare workers (ORa=1.17, 95% CI: 1.15–2.60), primarily doctors (ORa=1.59; 95% CI:1.03–2.44) and having a positive attitude towards a COVID-19 vaccine (ORa=11.49; 95% CI: 5.88–22.46) were significantly associated with reporting willingness to be vaccinated. For acceptability of vaccination against COVID-19 among others education among HCWs is crucial because health professionals’ attitudes about vaccines are an important determinant of their own vaccine uptake and their likelihood of recommending the vaccine to their patients.
