Unprecedented efforts are underway to develop COVID-19 vaccines, widely seen as critical to controlling the pandemic. Academic nursing leaders must be proactive in assuring widespread faculty and student vaccination uptake.
The purpose of this study was to describe nursing faculty and student nurse factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine readiness.
Cross-sectional online survey of nursing faculty and student nurses at a university affiliated with an academic medical center was conducted.
Most full-time faculty (60%) intended to receive the vaccine; but only 45% of adjunct faculty and students reported intending to get vaccinated. The major reasons for not getting vaccinated were vaccine safety and side effects. Collectively, participants reported a low level of knowledge related to vaccine development.
As the most trusted profession, nurses will play a decisive role in counseling patients about COVID-19 risks and benefits. Findings suggest that academic nursing leaders need to consider faculty and student vaccine concerns and provide vaccine development education.
目前正在开展前所未有的努力来开发 COVID-19 疫苗,人们普遍认为这对于控制大流行至关重要。护理学术领袖必须积极主动地确保广泛的教职员工和学生接种疫苗。
本研究的目的是描述与 COVID-19 疫苗接种准备相关的护理教师和护生因素。
对一所附属学术医疗中心的护理教师和护生进行了横断面在线调查。
大多数全职教师(60%)打算接种疫苗;但只有 45%的兼职教师和学生表示打算接种疫苗。不接种疫苗的主要原因是疫苗安全性和副作用。总体而言,参与者报告的疫苗开发相关知识水平较低。
作为最受信任的专业,护士将在就 COVID-19 风险和益处向患者提供咨询方面发挥决定性作用。研究结果表明,学术护理领导者需要考虑教职员工和学生对疫苗的担忧,并提供疫苗开发教育。
