Children's vaccination mainly depends on their parents' decisions. Therefore, it is important to understand parents' acceptance and attitudes toward vaccinating their children against COVID-19.
The study aimed to assess the pediatric nurses' acceptance and attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccines for their children at Assiut University Children Hospital.
A cross-sectional descriptive design was used on a convenience sample of 270 nurses who worked at Assiut University Children Hospital.
Tool one involved the demographic characteristics of pediatric nurses and their children. Tool two consisted of pediatric nurses' acceptance and attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccines for their children: RESULTS: The results indicated that 79.3% of pediatric nurses had higher acceptance of vaccines and immunization of their children. Results also revealed that 80.0% of pediatric nurses had positive attitudes toward vaccines and their children's immunizations.
It was concluded that most of pediatric nurses had high acceptance and positive attitudes toward vaccines and immunization of their children. Also, it was clarified that there was a positive statistically significant correlation between nurses' acceptance of vaccines and immunization of their children and their attitudes.
Continuing education and tailored intervention should be implemented to correct misinformation and negative conceptions about the safety of vaccines for children.
儿童接种疫苗主要取决于其父母的决定。因此，了解父母对接种其子女 COVID-19 疫苗的接受程度和态度非常重要。
本研究旨在评估 Assiut 大学儿童医院儿科护士对其子女 COVID-19 疫苗的接受程度和态度。
采用横断面描述性设计，对 Assiut 大学儿童医院的 270 名护士进行了便利抽样。
工具一包括儿科护士及其子女的人口统计学特征。工具二由儿科护士对其子女 COVID-19 疫苗的接受程度和态度组成：结果：结果表明，79.3%的儿科护士对其子女的疫苗接种和免疫接种具有较高的接受程度。结果还表明，80.0%的儿科护士对疫苗及其子女的免疫接种持积极态度。
大多数儿科护士对其子女的疫苗接种和免疫接种具有较高的接受程度和积极态度。此外，还明确了护士对子女疫苗接种和免疫接种的接受程度与其态度之间存在正相关关系。
应实施继续教育和针对性干预，以纠正关于儿童疫苗安全性的错误信息和负面观念。
