Information forms are commonly used to inform parents about childhood vaccination. This study assessed the knowledge of mothers about pertussis and pertussis vaccine before and after reading a form about diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus (dpt) vaccine.
A test was administered to mothers before and after the first vaccination of their infant. By random allocation, one-half of the mothers received the form (study group) in addition to the routine counselling by a public health nurse given to the others (control group).
Public health immunization clinics in suburban Vancouver, British Columbia.
One hundred and fifty-one mothers who were scheduled to bring their infant for the first dpt immunization were recruited, of whom 145 (96%) completed the study.
A test consisting of 20 true/false questions was administered by telephone two weeks before and two weeks after the first dpt vaccination. Additional data about sources of vaccine information, maternal education, number of children and maternal age were obtained.
Mean scores and mean change in scores on test.
The mean changes in scores between tests 1 and 2 in study and control groups were +22.2% and +6.9%, respectively, on the disease-related questions (P<0.001) and +14.6% and +10.7%, respectively, on the vaccine-related questions (P=0.16). The forms were considered to be very useful by the mothers and clearly enabled them to score higher on a test of their knowledge of pertussis and pertussis vaccine.
Reading a dpt vaccine form enabled mothers to improve their knowledge of pertussis and pertussis vaccine.
信息表常用于向家长介绍儿童疫苗接种情况。本研究评估了母亲们在阅读白喉-百日咳-破伤风（DPT）疫苗信息表前后对百日咳及百日咳疫苗的了解程度。
在母亲们首次为婴儿接种疫苗前后分别进行测试。通过随机分配，一半母亲除接受公共卫生护士给予其他母亲的常规咨询外，还收到信息表（研究组）。
不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华郊区的公共卫生免疫诊所。
招募了151名计划带婴儿进行首次DPT免疫接种的母亲，其中145名（96%）完成了研究。
在首次DPT疫苗接种前两周和接种后两周通过电话进行一项包含20道是非题的测试。还获取了关于疫苗信息来源、母亲教育程度、子女数量和母亲年龄的其他数据。
测试的平均得分及得分的平均变化。
在与疾病相关的问题上，研究组和对照组在测试1和测试2之间得分的平均变化分别为+22.2%和+6.9%（P<0.001）；在与疫苗相关的问题上，得分的平均变化分别为+14.6%和+10.7%（P=0.16）。母亲们认为这些信息表非常有用，并且明显使她们在关于百日咳及百日咳疫苗知识的测试中得分更高。
阅读DPT疫苗信息表能使母亲们提高对百日咳及百日咳疫苗的了解。
