While the discovery of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine renewed the hope to restore normal life, the attitude of Health Care Workers (HCWs) towards vaccination and its impact on their life are yet to be evaluated.
We conducted a cross-sectional study from late January to mid-February at the MedStar Health Hospitals in Baltimore, Maryland. Eligible HCWs completed the questionnaires anonymously. The primary outcomes were attitudes of HCWs towards vaccination and the impact on HCWs' comfort and anxiety in caring for patients, sleep, mood, attendance of social gatherings, and utilization of health clubs, before and after vaccination.
A total of 300 respondents completed the questionnaires. The mean age was 37.2 years with 37.7% physicians and 45.7% registered nurses. Of the respondents only, 15.7% refused vaccination. The most common reason for refusal was concerns for long-term adverse effects, cited by 59.5%. Following vaccination, comfort level in caring for patients with COVID-19 and other illnesses improved (6.3 (2.8) to 8.2 (2.0), p < 0.005, and 8.4 (2.4) to 9.1 (1.0), p < 0.005, respectively). Additionally, a significant decrease in anxiety was noted in HCWs caring for patients with COVID-19 and other illnesses (5.0 (3.3) vs. 3.5 (3.2), p < 0.005 and 2.7 (3.3) vs. 2.3 (3.4), p = 0.001, respectively). Significant improvement in mood scores (6.9 (2.4) vs. 7.7 (2.1), p < 0.005) and comfort level at social gatherings (4.3 (3.2) vs. 6.3 (3.0), p < 0.005) were also noted.
Vaccination against COVID-19 resulted in overall improvement in HCWs physical and mental wellbeing.
虽然2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）疫苗的发现重新燃起了恢复正常生活的希望，但医护人员对疫苗接种的态度及其对他们生活的影响仍有待评估。
我们于1月下旬至2月中旬在马里兰州巴尔的摩的MedStar Health医院进行了一项横断面研究。符合条件的医护人员匿名填写问卷。主要结果是医护人员对疫苗接种的态度，以及接种前后对医护人员护理患者时的舒适度和焦虑感、睡眠、情绪、参加社交聚会情况和健身俱乐部使用情况的影响。
共有300名受访者完成了问卷。平均年龄为37.2岁，其中37.7%为医生，45.7%为注册护士。在受访者中，只有15.7%的人拒绝接种疫苗。最常见的拒绝原因是担心长期不良反应，占59.5%。接种疫苗后，护理COVID-19患者和其他疾病患者时的舒适度有所提高（分别从6.3（2.8）提高到8.2（2.0），p<0.005，以及从8.4（2.4）提高到9.1（1.0），p<0.005）。此外，护理COVID-19患者和其他疾病患者的医护人员的焦虑感显著降低（分别为5.0（3.3）对3.5（3.2），p<0.005和2.7（3.3）对2.3（3.4），p=0.001）。情绪得分（6.9（2.4）对7.7（2.1），p<0.005）和社交聚会时的舒适度（4.3（3.2）对6.3（3.0），p<0.005）也有显著改善。
接种COVID-19疫苗使医护人员的身心健康总体得到改善。
