背景资料：了解医务人员对甲型H1N1流感的知识、态度、行为及疫苗接种情况。从位于那不勒斯和阿韦利诺（意大利）的非教学公立医院的随机样本中选择HCW样本，接受自我管理的匿名问卷调查，包括社会人口特征，对甲型H1N1流感的传播方式、预防措施、态度和行为的认识。结果：对甲型H1N1流感的主要传播方式、医务人员是危险人群的正确认识率仅为36.1%，通过科技期刊获取信息的医务人员对甲型H1N1流感的主要传播方式、预防措施、态度和行为的正确认识率明显高于通过科技期刊获取信息的医务人员。据观察，在知识更丰富的医务工作者、认为甲型H1N1流感是严重疾病的医务工作者和在外科病房工作的医务工作者中，感染甲型H1N1流感的风险更高。只有16.7%的医护人员接种过甲型H1N1流感疫苗，且医护人员对甲型H1N1流感的恐惧程度越高，越倾向于接种疫苗。
Background: To assess the knowledge, the attitudes, and the behaviour towards influenza A/H1N1 and the vaccination among health-care workers (HCWs).Methods: A sample of HCWs was selected from a random sample of non-teaching public hospitals, located in the cities of Naples and Avellino (Italy), received a self-administered anonymous questionnaire including questions about socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge on modes of transmission and preventative measures, attitudes and behaviour relating to influenza A/H1N1.Results: Only 36.1% correctly knew the main modes of transmission, and that HCWs are a risk category and this level of knowledge was significantly higher in HCWs having received information through scientific journals. A higher perceived risk of contracting influenza A/H1N1 has been observed in the HCWs more knowledgeable, in those considering influenza A/H1N1 a serious disease, and in those working in surgical wards. Only 16.7% have received the influenza A/H1N1 vaccination and HCWs with more fear of contracting influenza A/H1N1, those considering vaccine more useful and less dangerous were more likely to receive vaccine.Conclusions: Education and communication strategies for improving the level of knowledge and for the immunization uptake regarding influenza A/H1N1 HCWs are strongly needed.
