School nurses, as vaccination advocates, need to be aware of parents' common concerns regarding vaccines, so the nurse can develop strategies to communicate with parents. The purpose of this cross-sectional, descriptive study was to identify common reasons parents in Utah seek exempting rather than vaccinating their children. Data were collected from a convenience sample of 801 parents responding to a 16-item questionnaire about why they exempted their children from receiving vaccinations. The most commonly reported reason for seeking a personal exemption included vaccines conflicting with philosophical beliefs. Parents exempting from one vaccine most commonly exempted the hepatitis series. Most parents communicated their vaccine concerns with their health care provider prior to seeking exemption. The majority of exempting parents did not use the Internet when researching vaccines even though they had Internet access. Considering the common vaccine-related perceptions of parents may be helpful when developing strategies to overcome these barriers to vaccination.
学校护士作为疫苗接种倡导者,需要了解家长对疫苗的常见担忧,以便制定与家长沟通的策略。这项横断面描述性研究的目的是确定犹他州家长寻求让孩子豁免接种疫苗而非接种的常见原因。数据来自801名家长的便利样本,他们回答了一份关于为何让孩子豁免接种疫苗的16项问卷。寻求个人豁免最常报告的原因包括疫苗与哲学信仰相冲突。豁免一种疫苗的家长最常豁免的是肝炎系列疫苗。大多数家长在寻求豁免之前就与他们的医疗服务提供者交流了他们对疫苗的担忧。尽管有网络接入,但大多数豁免接种的家长在研究疫苗时并未使用互联网。在制定克服这些疫苗接种障碍的策略时,考虑家长对疫苗的常见看法可能会有所帮助。
