This study investigated the COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rate among pregnant women in Thailand and explored factors influencing their willingness to receive the vaccine, to enhance vaccine uptake among hesitant pregnant women in the future.
A prospective study was conducted at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital, Chiang Mai, Thailand, in October 2022. The data was collected using face-to-face questionnaires comprising 29 closed-end questions. Pregnant women aged 18 years old or over visiting the antenatal care clinic were included.
The study included 200 participants, revealing a COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rate of 17%. Healthcare provider recommendations significantly increased vaccine acceptance by nearly two-fold (30.77%, p-value < 0.01). The major cause of vaccine hesitancy was the concern about vaccine safety that potentially harmed their babies (77.44%).
The COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rate among pregnant women in Thailand was low. Healthcare provider recommendations played a pivotal role in positively impacting vaccine acceptance, highlighting their importance in increasing acceptance rates in the future.
本研究调查了泰国孕妇对新冠疫苗的接受率,并探讨了影响她们接种疫苗意愿的因素,以便未来提高犹豫不决的孕妇的疫苗接种率。
2022年10月在泰国清迈的玛哈叻那空清迈医院进行了一项前瞻性研究。数据通过包含29个封闭式问题的面对面问卷调查收集。纳入年龄在18岁及以上前往产前护理诊所的孕妇。
该研究包括200名参与者,新冠疫苗接受率为17%。医疗保健提供者的建议使疫苗接受率显著提高了近两倍(30.77%,p值<0.01)。疫苗犹豫的主要原因是担心疫苗安全可能会伤害她们的婴儿(77.44%)。
泰国孕妇对新冠疫苗的接受率较低。医疗保健提供者的建议对积极影响疫苗接受率起到了关键作用,凸显了其在未来提高接受率方面的重要性。
