目的：疫苗接种拒绝的频率在全球范围内不断增加，与多种因素相关。本研究的目的是预测国内外COVID-19疫苗接种拒绝的频率，并确定拒绝的潜在因素。方法：对428名同意参与研究的父母进行面对面或在线调查，包括16个关于COVID-19疫苗接种的问题。父母的子女在安卡拉市医院儿童医院住院或门诊。结果：66.1%的家长不愿意接种国外疫苗，只有37.4%的家长不愿意接种国产疫苗。参与者对自己和子女接种国产疫苗的偏好显著高于对照组（P < 0.05）。女性接种国外疫苗的意愿低于男性（P < 0.05）。随着受教育程度的提高，越来越少的父母喜欢为自己（P = 0.046）和他们的孩子（P = 0.005）接种国产疫苗。父母对COVID-19感染的焦虑程度高的父母及其子女对国内外疫苗的接受程度更高（P <0. 05）。最常见的拒绝原因是对疫苗副作用的焦虑、对疫苗有效性的缺乏了解以及对国外疫苗的不信任。结论：大多数参与者对COVID-19疫苗持犹豫态度。这项研究表明，考虑到对国产疫苗的更高偏好，可以增加疫苗接种。
Objective:The frequency of vaccine refusal, which is associated with many factors, is increasing worldwide. The aim of this study was to predict the frequency of vaccine refusal against domestic and foreign COVID-19 vaccines and identify the factors underlying refusal.Methods:A survey consisting of 16 questions about COVID-19 vaccination was conducted either face-to-face or online with 428 parents who agreed to participate in the study. The parents had children who were inpatients or outpatients in the Children's Hospital of Ankara City Hospital. In the survey, parents were asked about family sociodemographic characteristics, opinions on domestic and foreign COVID-19 vaccines, and reasons for vaccine refusal.Results:While 66.1% of parents were reluctant to receive foreign COVID-19 vaccines, only 37.4% were reluctant to receive domestic COVID-19 vaccines. The participants' preference for the domestic vaccine was significantly higher for themselves and their children (P < 0.05). Women were less likely to be willing to receive foreign vaccines than men (P < 0.05). As the education level increased, fewer parents preferred the domestic vaccine for themselves (P = 0.046) and their children (P = 0.005). Both domestic and foreign vaccine acceptability for parents and their children was higher among parents with high anxiety levels regarding COVID-19 infection (P < 0.05). The most common reasons for refusal were anxiety about vaccine side effects, lack of knowledge about the effectiveness of vaccines, and distrust of vaccines originating from abroad.Conclusion:Most of the participants were hesitant about COVID-19 vaccines. This study demonstrates that vaccine uptake can be increased by considering the higher preference for domestic vaccines.
