BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization (WHO) declared monkeypox a "public health emergency of international concern" on 23 June 2022. However, there is a lack of data on monkeypox perceptions among medical workers. The purposes of this study were to evaluate perceptions, worries about monkeypox, attitudes towards monkeypox vaccination and their correlates among medical workers in China. METHODS: Data were collected from medical practitioners using an online survey questionnaire between September 1 and September 30, 2022 in China. All the subjects completed an online questionnaire including general characteristics, perceptions/knowledge/worries about monkeypox, and attitudes towards monkeypox vaccination. Logistic regression was employed to examine the correlates of perceptions, worries about monkeypox, and attitudes toward monkeypox vaccination. RESULTS: In total, this study sample included 639 medical workers. The mean age was 37.9 ± 9.4 years old. Approximately 71.8% of individuals reported perceptions of monkeypox, 56.7% worried about monkeypox, and 64.9% supported the promotion of monkeypox vaccination. Medical workers who were older than 50 years (aOR 3.73, 95%CI 1.01-13.85), worked in the Infectious Diseases/Dermatology/Venereal Diseases departments (3.09, 1.61-5.91), and provided correct answer to monkeypox transmission route (10.19, 5.42-19.17) were more likely to know about monkeypox/monkeypox virus before investigation. 30.7% reported that they were more worried about monkeypox than the coronavirus (COVID-19). Participants reported that the key population most in need of monkeypox vaccination were health practitioners (78.2%) and people with immunodeficiency (74.3%), followed by children (65.4%) and older adults (63.2%). CONCLUSION: Awareness of monkeypox was high and attitude towards the promotion of monkeypox vaccination was positive among medical staff in China. Further targeted dissemination of monkeypox common knowledge among health care providers might improve their precaution measures and improve the promotion of monkeypox vaccination among key populations.
背景：世界卫生组织（WHO）于 2022 年 6 月 23 日宣布猴痘为“国际关注的突发公共卫生事件”。然而，关于医务人员对猴痘的认知，目前数据有限。本研究旨在评估中国医务人员对猴痘的认知、对猴痘的担忧、对猴痘疫苗接种的态度及其相关性。
方法：本研究于 2022 年 9 月 1 日至 9 月 30 日期间采用在线问卷调查的方式收集了来自中国的执业医师的数据。所有研究对象均完成了包括一般特征、对猴痘的认知/知识/担忧，以及对猴痘疫苗接种态度的在线问卷。采用 logistic 回归分析来检验认知、对猴痘的担忧、以及对猴痘疫苗接种态度的相关性。
结果：本研究共纳入 639 名医务人员。平均年龄为 37.9±9.4 岁。约 71.8%的个体报告对猴痘有认知，56.7%对猴痘感到担忧，64.9%支持推广猴痘疫苗接种。50 岁以上的医务人员（aOR 3.73，95%CI 1.01-13.85）、在传染病/皮肤科/性病科工作的医务人员（aOR 3.09，1.61-5.91），以及答对猴痘传播途径的医务人员（aOR 10.19，5.42-19.17），更有可能在调查前了解猴痘/猴痘病毒。30.7%的人表示，他们比新冠病毒（COVID-19）更担心猴痘。参与者报告说，最需要接种猴痘疫苗的关键人群是卫生工作者（78.2%）和免疫功能低下者（74.3%），其次是儿童（65.4%）和老年人（63.2%）。
结论：中国医务人员对猴痘的认知度较高，对推广猴痘疫苗接种的态度积极。进一步向卫生保健提供者有针对性地传播猴痘常识，可能会改善他们的预防措施，并促进关键人群中猴痘疫苗的推广。
