INTRODUCTION:The aim of this article is to report, from their own perspective, the attitudes and believes towards vaccination, with special emphasis on the influence of sources of information to make the decision to get vaccinated, of health care workers (HCWs), considered as a specific risk group for immunization strategy against A (H1N1) influenza. METHODS:Cross-sectional observational study focused on active health workers in the province of Alicante. Made by face to face questionnaires to a stratified random sample based on occupational categories in hospitals and health care centres. RESULTS:The sources of information differ between subgroups; physicians used journals and/or conferences, nurses obtained information through the Ministry of Health and other nurses, and the remaining workers opted for television and/or the family physician. Of the three studied groups, physicians felt minor concern about the influenza A (H1N1) pandemic (59.4%), had the most confidence in the vaccine (42.3%), were the ones who recommended the vaccine the most (44.4%), who best followed the recommendations to avoid infection (93%), and were the most vaccinated (18.3%). Around three-quarters (75.5%) of the HCWs assessed the provided information as fair, poor or very poor. All HCWs admitted that a social alarm was created. DISCUSSION:The success of future immunization campaigns against influenza in HCWs could increase if information activities were designed to focus on each subgroup of HCWs, by adapting the strategy and improving the quality of information.

简介:本文的目的是从他们自己的角度报告对疫苗接种的态度和信念,并特别强调信息来源对决定是否接种疫苗的医护人员(HCW)的影响作为针对A(H1N1)流感的免疫策略的特定风险人群。
方法:横断面观察研究的重点是阿利坎特省的在职卫生工作者。通过面对面的问卷调查,根据医院和保健中心的职业类别对分层的随机样本进行抽样。
结果:亚组之间的信息来源不同;医生使用期刊和/或会议,护士通过卫生部和其他护士获得信息,其余工人选择电视和/或家庭医生。在这三个研究组中,医生对甲型流感(H1N1)大流行的担忧不大(59.4%),对疫苗最有信心(42.3%),是推荐疫苗最多的人(44.4%),最好遵循建议避免感染的建议(93%),并且接种疫苗最多(18.3%)。大约四分之三(75.5%)的医护工作者认为所提供的信息是公平的,差的或非常差的。所有医护人员都承认创建了社交警报。
讨论:如果旨在通过调整策略和提高信息质量而将信息活动设计为专注于医护人员的每个亚组,那么将来针对医护人员的流感免疫运动的成功率可能会增加。
