Healthcare workers (HCW) perceptions toward vaccines influence patient and community vaccine decision making. In an era of rising vaccine hesitancy, understanding HCW vaccine confidence is critical. This systematic review aims to review instruments that have been validated to measure HCW vaccine confidence. We conducted a search in five databases in June 2023. Data was descriptively synthesized. Twelve articles describing 10 different tools were included. Most tools included dimensions or items on vaccine knowledge ( = 9), safety ( = 8), vaccine usefulness ( = 8), recommendation behavior ( = 8), and self-vaccination practice ( = 7). All, except one study, were conducted in high-income countries. There was variability in the quality of the validation process. There is limited existing literature on development and validation of tools for HCW vaccine confidence. Based on the tools currently available, the Pro-VC-Be tool is the most well validated. Further research needs to include low- and middle-income contexts.
医护人员（HCW）对疫苗的看法会影响患者和社区的疫苗决策。在疫苗犹豫情绪不断上升的时代，了解 HCW 的疫苗信心至关重要。本系统评价旨在回顾已验证用于衡量 HCW 疫苗信心的工具。我们于 2023 年 6 月在五个数据库中进行了检索。对数据进行了描述性综合。有 12 篇文章描述了 10 种不同的工具。大多数工具包括疫苗知识（=9）、安全性（=8）、疫苗有效性（=8）、推荐行为（=8）和自我接种实践（=7）方面的维度或项目。除了一项研究外，所有研究都在高收入国家进行。验证过程的质量存在差异。目前针对 HCW 疫苗信心开发和验证工具的文献有限。根据目前可用的工具，Pro-VC-Be 工具的验证度最高。需要进一步的研究包括中低收入环境。
