To identify healthcare professionals' attitudes toward the coronavirus vaccine.
Controlling the coronavirus pandemic depends on achieving a high level of herd immunity. Accordingly, it is very important that healthcare professionals become role models by displaying positive attitudes toward vaccination.
This cross-sectional study was conducted between March and April 2021 with a total of 309 healthcare professionals. Data were collected via an online surveys using an "Introductory Information Form" and "Attitudes Towards the COVID-19 Vaccine Scale." One-way variance analysis and Bonferroni correction were used for the comparison of nonnormally distributed quantitative variables between more than two groups. The Kruskal-Wallis test and Dunn-Bonferroni test were used to compare non-normally distributed quantitative variables between more than two groups. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the relationships between the quantitative variables.
Regarding the healthcare professionals' attitudes towards the COVID-19 vaccine, the average score of positive attitudes was 3.52 ± 0.87, and the average score of negative attitudes was 3.39 ± 0.68. A statistically significant weak relationship was found between the ages of the participants and the average score of their positive attitudes towards the COVID-19 vaccine. The negative attitude score of the individuals who wanted to get the coronavirus vaccine was significantly higher than those who were undecided or did not want to get the vaccine.
Healthcare professionals completely agreed with the opinion "I would persuade everyone around me to get the coronavirus vaccine," and completely disagreed with the opinion "I believe that they will inject microchips to people with the coronavirus vaccine." Healthcare professionals have positive attitudes toward the COVID-19 vaccine. COVID-19-vaccinated participants' positive and negative attitude scores were found higher than those who were not vaccinated.
Supportive social activities should be organized in the public sense so that healthcare professionals act as a role model by displaying positive attitudes toward vaccination.
确定医疗保健专业人员对冠状病毒疫苗的态度。
控制冠状病毒大流行取决于实现高水平的群体免疫。因此，医疗保健专业人员通过对疫苗接种表现出积极的态度，成为榜样是非常重要的。
本横断面研究于 2021 年 3 月至 4 月期间进行，共纳入 309 名医疗保健专业人员。通过在线调查收集数据，使用“简介表”和“对 COVID-19 疫苗的态度量表”。对于三个及以上组间非正态分布的定量资料，采用单因素方差分析和 Bonferroni 校正进行比较。对于三个及以上组间非正态分布的定量资料，采用 Kruskal-Wallis 检验和 Dunn-Bonferroni 检验进行比较。采用 Pearson 相关分析评估定量变量之间的关系。
关于医疗保健专业人员对 COVID-19 疫苗的态度，积极态度的平均得分为 3.52±0.87，消极态度的平均得分为 3.39±0.68。参与者的年龄与他们对 COVID-19 疫苗的积极态度的平均得分之间存在统计学上的弱相关关系。想要接种冠状病毒疫苗的个体的消极态度评分明显高于犹豫不决或不想接种疫苗的个体。
医疗保健专业人员完全同意“我会说服我周围的每个人接种冠状病毒疫苗”这一观点，完全不同意“我相信他们会给接种冠状病毒疫苗的人注射微芯片”这一观点。医疗保健专业人员对 COVID-19 疫苗持积极态度。已接种 COVID-19 疫苗的参与者的积极和消极态度评分高于未接种疫苗的参与者。
应该在公众意识层面组织支持性的社会活动，以便医疗保健专业人员通过对疫苗接种表现出积极的态度来发挥榜样作用。
