BACKGROUND
Hepatitis B infection is a major public health problem in Ethiopia. Health care workers are at increased risk of acquiring hepatitis B infection due to occupational exposure. There is effective and safe vaccine against hepatitis B infection. But many health care workers in developing countries are not vaccinated. There is no study in Ethiopia that describes hepatitis B vaccine knowledge and vaccination status of health care workers. Therefore, this study was done to assess hepatitis B vaccination status and knowledge among health care workers' of Bahir Dar city administration, Northwest Ethiopia.

背景
乙型肝炎感染是埃塞俄比亚的一个主要公共卫生问题。医护人员因职业暴露而感染乙型肝炎的风险增加。有针对乙型肝炎感染的有效且安全的疫苗。但发展中国家的许多医护人员未接种疫苗。埃塞俄比亚尚无描述医护人员乙型肝炎疫苗知识和接种状况的研究。因此，本研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚西北部巴赫达尔市行政机构医护人员的乙型肝炎疫苗接种状况和知识水平。
方法
采用基于机构的横断面研究设计，时间为2012年4月1日至30日。在巴赫达尔市行政机构的医疗机构工作的所有医护人员为研究对象。共有374名医护人员纳入研究。采用简单随机抽样技术从医护人员名单中选取符合条件的研究参与者。使用自填式问卷收集数据。协助人员和主要研究者每天检查问卷的完整性。数据录入并使用社会科学统计软件包第16.0版进行分析。
结果
在本研究中，64.7%的受访者认为自己感染乙型肝炎的风险非常高或高。只有52%的受访者了解乙型肝炎感染。在本研究中，只有62%的医护人员了解乙型肝炎疫苗。在总共370名受访者中，只有20人（5.4%）报告接种了三剂或更多剂乙型肝炎疫苗。
结论
研究区域医护人员的乙型肝炎疫苗接种率较低。医护人员对乙型肝炎感染和乙型肝炎疫苗的知识水平也较低，而所有医护人员都应该了解这些知识。
