Influenza vaccination among healthcare workers may reduce morbidity and protect fragile patients. Most of the evidence concerning the vaccine hesitancy of healthcare workers reported lack of knowledge and wrong attitude. The aims of this study were to explore the knowledge and attitudes about influenza vaccination among master's degree students in Nursing and Midwifery, and to evaluate the effectiveness of their involvement in the hospital vaccination campaign in order to increase intention to receive immunization. The students of nurses and midwives were involved in the vaccination sessions of the 2018-19 hospital campaign. They were recruited to complete an online survey. Students of the 2nd year (involved in the vaccination campaign) and the 1st year (not involved) were compared. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed for data analysis. Students who intend to receive influenza vaccination in the following year registered a percentage of 83.6% and showed an overall attitude of 66.8%. The involvement of the students in the vaccination campaign led to a significant increase in their positive vaccination attitude (80.9% vs. 87.0%) and in their intention to receive flu vaccination in the following year (67.7% vs. 100%). A positive attitude towards vaccinations was observed by nurses and midwives. Their involvement in the planning and activities during the vaccination campaign could positively influence their opinions and intention to receive vaccination.
医护人员接种流感疫苗可以降低发病率并保护脆弱的患者。大多数关于医护人员对接种疫苗犹豫不决的证据都缺乏知识和错误的态度。本研究的目的是探讨护理和助产硕士研究生对流感疫苗的知识和态度，并评估他们参与医院疫苗接种运动的效果，以增加接种疫苗的意愿。护士和助产士的学生参与了 2018-19 年医院疫苗接种运动。他们被招募来完成在线调查。对第二年（参与疫苗接种运动）和第一年（不参与）的学生进行了比较。对数据进行了描述性和推断性统计分析。打算在次年接种流感疫苗的学生注册率为 83.6%，总体态度为 66.8%。学生参与疫苗接种运动显著提高了他们对疫苗接种的积极态度（80.9%比 87.0%）和次年接种流感疫苗的意愿（67.7%比 100%）。护士和助产士对疫苗接种持积极态度。他们参与疫苗接种运动的规划和活动可能会对他们的意见和接种疫苗的意愿产生积极影响。
