Modifiable and non-modifiable patient and hospital characteristics may affect willingness to undergo surgery during a pandemic. We hypothesized that vaccination of hospital staff and patients, type of surgery, and length of stay, would affect willingness to undergo a surgical procedure. 2006 adult participants in the United States were recruited electronically using Amazon's ® Mechanical Turk ® and answered a 26-item survey in English about hypothetical surgery, manipulating requirements for: staff vaccination, patient vaccination, surgical urgency, and time in hospital. They also answered questions about their opinions about vaccination, personal vaccination status, and demographics.
Participants are more willing to undergo surgery if they have been vaccinated, if staff vaccinations are required, and if surgery is lifesaving and outpatient.
Willingness to undergo surgery varies with hospital staff and patient vaccination. This may inform policies for vaccination, boosters, and resource allocation.
可改变和不可改变的患者和医院特征可能会影响大流行期间接受手术的意愿。我们假设医院工作人员和患者的疫苗接种、手术类型和住院时间会影响接受手术的意愿。使用美国亚马逊的 Mechanical Turk，我们招募了 2006 名美国成年人参与者，并以英文回答了关于假设手术的 26 项调查，对以下内容进行了操作：工作人员接种疫苗、患者接种疫苗、手术紧迫性和住院时间。他们还回答了关于他们对疫苗接种的看法、个人接种疫苗状况和人口统计学的问题。
如果患者和医护人员接种了疫苗，如果手术是挽救生命的门诊手术，那么参与者更愿意接受手术。
接受手术的意愿因医院工作人员和患者的疫苗接种情况而异。这可能为疫苗接种、加强针和资源分配提供信息。
