This study assesses attitudes towards vaccination in mothers of new-born babies and explores its association with different exposures to communication. Data were collected through questionnaires administered by means of interviews. Data highlighted that 20% of mothers showed an orientation towards vaccine hesitancy. As for the reasons behind the attitude to vaccine hesitancy, data showed that concern is a common feature. As for the different exposures to communication, 49% of mothers did not remember having received or looked for any information about vaccination during pregnancy and post-partum; 25% stated they received information from several healthcare and non-healthcare sources; 26% declared having received or looked for information by means of healthcare and non-healthcare sources, as well as having taken part in a specific meeting during antenatal classes or at birth centres. The attitude towards vaccine hesitancy tends to reduce as exposure to different communication increases. This study supports the hypothesis that participation in interactive meetings in small groups focused on vaccination during the prenatal course or at the birth point may act as an enabling factor contributing to a decrease in the tendency to experience vaccine hesitation.
本研究评估了新生儿母亲对疫苗接种的态度，并探讨了其与不同沟通接触方式之间的关联。数据通过访谈问卷的方式收集。数据显示，20%的母亲表现出对疫苗犹豫的倾向。至于疫苗犹豫态度背后的原因，数据表明担忧是一个共同特征。关于不同的沟通接触方式，49%的母亲不记得在孕期和产后收到或查找过任何有关疫苗接种的信息；25%的母亲表示她们从多个医疗和非医疗来源获得了信息；26%的母亲宣称通过医疗和非医疗来源获得或查找过信息，并且参加了产前课程或分娩中心的特定会议。随着对不同沟通方式接触的增加，对疫苗犹豫的态度倾向于减少。本研究支持这样一种假设，即在产前课程或分娩点参加专注于疫苗接种的小组互动会议可能是一个促成因素，有助于减少出现疫苗犹豫倾向的可能性。
