引言：流感是主要的公共卫生问题之一，医护人员（HCP）是这种感染的高危人群之一。本研究的目的是确定伊朗HCP对流感和流感疫苗的信念和态度。方法：本横断面研究于2016年1月至6月在伊朗德黑兰的一家综合医院进行。共向HCP分发了418份问卷。采用卡方检验、线性回归和单因素方差分析进行数据分析，认为α：0.05为统计学显著水平。结果：流感疫苗接种率为57.7%，专职医疗人员接种率最高（68.2%）。避免接种流感疫苗的两个主要原因是：“担心疫苗的不良反应”和“对疫苗有效性的不确定性”。线性回归分析表明，医生的信念得分最高，其次是护士和专职医疗人员（p < 0.001）。结论：流感和流感疫苗接种的教育规划是必要的，以提高疫苗接种覆盖率，降低易感患者的流感死亡率和发病率。
INTRODUCTION: Influenza is one of the main public health problems and health care personnels (HCPs) are one of the at-risk groups for this infection. The goal of the current study was to identify the beliefs and attitudes of the Iranian HCPs about influenza and the influenza vaccine.METHODS: This cross-sectional study was performed in a general hospital in Tehran, Iran from January to June 2016. A total of 418 questionnaires were distributed among the HCPs. The Chi2 test, linear regression and one-way ANOVA were used for data analysis, alpha: 0.05 was considered as a statistically significant level. All analyses were performed using the SPSS19 software.RESULTS: The influenza vaccination coverage was 57.7%; the highest vaccine rate belongs to the allied health professionals (68.2%). Two main causes for avoiding the influenza vaccination were; the "fear of vaccine adverse effects" and the "uncertainty about the vaccine effectiveness". The linear regression analysis identified that the physicians had the highest belief score, followed by the nurses and the allied health professionals (p < 0.001).CONCLUSIONS: Educational planning on influenza and influenza vaccination is necessary to improve the vaccination coverage and to reduce the influenza mortality and morbidity in susceptible patients.
