A critical factor in achieving widespread immunity against COVID-19 is the willingness of previously unvaccinated individuals to get vaccinated. Medical staff play a key role in this, as they ensure healthcare during the pandemic and for many serve as a source of information about vaccinations. Among the factors that negatively influence the general willingness to get vaccinated are conspiracy assumptions and the spread of misinformation.
The willingness of hospital staff in Germany to get vaccinated and various influencing variables were examined to obtain indicators that could help increase the general willingness to get vaccinated.
Between January and June 2021, a voluntary and anonymous online survey conducted as part of the egePan joint project of the national network for university medicine (funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research) was used to assess the willingness to be vaccinated, individual social characteristics, the belief in conspiracy assumptions, and communication items in German hospitals.
In comparison with the general population, physicians and scientific staff in particular indicated an increased willingness to get vaccinated. Conspiracy assumptions were not very widespread but most frequent among administrative and nursing staff. Conspiracy assumptions were negatively associated with the willingness to get vaccinated. Predictors for a higher willingness to get vaccinated were the perceived safety and effectiveness of vaccinations and a higher age.
Since the perceived safety and effectiveness of vaccinations have a positive effect on the willingness to get vaccinated, educational work and transparent information transfer could counteract the spread of conspiracy assumptions and increase vaccination rates among hospital staff.
实现对新冠病毒广泛免疫的一个关键因素是此前未接种疫苗的个体愿意接种疫苗。医护人员在这方面发挥着关键作用，因为他们在疫情期间保障医疗保健，而且对许多人来说是疫苗接种信息的来源。对普遍接种意愿产生负面影响的因素包括阴谋论假设和错误信息的传播。
研究德国医院工作人员的接种意愿及各种影响变量，以获得有助于提高普遍接种意愿的指标。
2021年1月至6月期间，作为大学医学国家网络的egePan联合项目（由联邦教育与研究部资助）的一部分，开展了一项自愿且匿名的在线调查，以评估德国医院工作人员的接种意愿、个人社会特征、对阴谋论假设的相信程度以及沟通项目。
与普通人群相比，医生和科研人员尤其表现出更高的接种意愿。阴谋论假设并不十分普遍，但在行政和护理人员中最为常见。阴谋论假设与接种意愿呈负相关。接种意愿较高的预测因素是对疫苗安全性和有效性的认知以及较高的年龄。
由于对疫苗安全性和有效性的认知对接种意愿有积极影响，开展教育工作和进行透明的信息传递可以抵制阴谋论假设的传播，并提高医院工作人员的接种率。
