目的：本研究的目的是评估沙特阿拉伯妇女孕期接种流感疫苗的知识、态度、信念和相关因素。方法：采用横断面前瞻性调查方法，对1085名孕妇进行为期6周的流感疫苗接种。问卷收集了人口统计学和其他数据；其中包括12个关于他们的常识的问题，并评估了他们对流感疫苗接种的态度，以及他们对疫苗风险和怀孕期间潜在好处的认识。然后计算和比较所获得的知识得分。结果：共有998名患者参与问卷调查，应答率为92%。对怀孕期间接种流感疫苗是安全的认识不足(130，13.1%)，所有孕妇都应该接种流感疫苗(190，19.1%)。流感疫苗知识得分为⩽5(范围0~12)的孕妇接种流感疫苗的可能性显著降低(OR3.78，95%CI2.68~5.26，P<0.001)。疫苗接种率低(178人，18.1%)，只有29人(3.0%)在怀孕期间曾接受过任何医生的流感疫苗接种。此外，255人(25.8%)反对在怀孕期间接种流感疫苗。结论：沙特孕妇对流感疫苗的知晓率和接种率较低。四分之一的人反对在怀孕期间接种疫苗。很少有人相信流感疫苗在怀孕期间是安全的。很少有医生建议他们的客户接种流感疫苗。
Objective: The purpose of the study was to assess the knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and factors associated with the uptake of the influenza (flu) vaccination in women within Saudi Arabia during their pregnancy period. Methods: A cross-sectional prospective survey was conducted on 1085 pregnant women at the antenatal clinic over a period of 6 weeks with the provision of influenza vaccination. The questionnaire collected demographic and other data; it included 12 questions on their general knowledge and assessed their attitude toward influenza vaccination, and their awareness of vaccine risk and the potential benefits during pregnancy. The knowledge score obtained was then calculated and compared. Results: A total of 998 patients took part in the questionnaire with a response rate of 92%. There was poor awareness that the flu vaccine is safe to administer during pregnancy (130, 13.1%) and that all pregnant women should receive the flu vaccine (190, 19.1%). Pregnant women with flu vaccine knowledge score of ⩽5 (range 0–12) were significantly less likely to take the vaccine (OR 3.78, 95% CI 2.68–5.26, p < 0.001). There was a low uptake of the vaccine (178, 18.1%) and only 29 (3.0%) had previously been offered the flu vaccine by any doctor during their pregnancy. In addition, 255 (25.8%) were against taking the flu vaccine during pregnancy. Conclusion: The knowledge and uptake of the influenza vaccine among Saudi pregnant women are low. One quarter was against the vaccine during pregnancy. Very few believed the flu vaccine to be safe during pregnancy. Rarely, physicians advise their clients to take flu vaccine.
