To evaluate the knowledge and attitude towards coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination during pregnancy and to discover factors that lead to non-acceptance of vaccine.
A cross-sectional study was performed in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Hamdard Institute of Medical Science & Research, New Delhi over a period of 3 months through a web-based questionnaire via Google form. The questionnaire was assessed using Cronbach α for internal consistency, which was 0.795.
News (74%) was the major source of knowledge among pregnant women. Around 60% women were not willing to receive the vaccine, mainly because of their fear of a harmful effect on pregnancy. The anticipated vaccine acceptance rate was 41% but actual vaccine acceptance rate in pregnancy was 7.3%.
Efforts should be made to reduce the gap of knowledge regarding vaccine among pregnant women.
评估孕妇对 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)疫苗的知识和态度,并发现导致不接受疫苗的因素。
在新德里的哈姆达德医学科学与研究所妇产科进行了一项横断面研究,通过谷歌表格进行了为期 3 个月的基于网络的问卷调查。该问卷采用 Cronbach α 进行内部一致性评估,信度系数为 0.795。
新闻(74%)是孕妇获取知识的主要来源。约 60%的女性不愿意接种疫苗,主要是因为担心对怀孕有不良影响。预计疫苗接种率为 41%,但怀孕期间实际疫苗接种率为 7.3%。
应努力缩小孕妇对疫苗知识的差距。
