The aim: Assess of the determinants of vaccine hesitancy among parents regarding their children in Kyiv, Ukraine.
Materials and methods: Direct interview with survey on parents' attitudes and behaviors regarding their children's immunization. Vaccination hesitancy was determined with the median of responses and by self-reported question. The study was conducted among parents, whose children were patients at Children's hospitals, attend schools and kindergarten in Kyiv, Ukraine.
Results: The median of vaccine hesitancy was 14,2% of 797 parents in Kyiv. The results show that 81.5% of parents with university degree agree that vaccination of their child is important for the health of others in the community, whereas only 67% (p≤0.05) of people who graduated from high school supported this view. The only reason to vaccinate their child is so they can enter daycare or school was marked by only 4.5% of parents with university education background and 15.3% of people who graduated from high school (p≤0,05).
Conclusions: Vast majority of interviewed parents think that vaccines are important for their children; meanwhile only half of the parents fully trust the current National Immunization Schedule and fully agree that question of child vaccination is their responsibility. Consulting pediatricians and GPs are associated with more parental confidence than other medical workers. Main source of negative information about vaccines is the Internet, but some part of parents who received negative information indicates health care workers as a source of this information. Majority of parents thinks that their religion is compatible with vaccines.
评估乌克兰基辅父母对子女疫苗犹豫的决定因素。
材料和方法：对父母对子女免疫接种的态度和行为进行直接访谈和调查。通过中位数反应和自我报告问题来确定疫苗犹豫。该研究在基辅的儿童医院、学校和幼儿园的儿童的父母中进行。
结果：基辅 797 名父母中有 14.2%的人对疫苗犹豫不决。结果表明，81.5%的大学学历父母认为为孩子接种疫苗对社区其他人的健康很重要，而只有 67%（p≤0.05）的高中毕业生支持这一观点。只有 4.5%的受过高等教育背景的父母和 15.3%的高中毕业生（p≤0.05）将让孩子接种疫苗的唯一原因标记为这样他们就可以进入日托或学校。
结论：绝大多数接受采访的父母认为疫苗对他们的孩子很重要；与此同时，只有一半的父母完全信任当前的国家免疫计划，并完全同意儿童疫苗接种问题是他们的责任。咨询儿科医生和全科医生比其他医务人员更能增强父母的信心。关于疫苗的负面信息的主要来源是互联网，但一些接受负面信息的父母将医疗保健工作者作为信息来源。大多数父母认为他们的宗教与疫苗相容。
