Vaccine hesitancy among healthcare workers (HCWs) represents a significant challenge and threat in pandemics. This study aims to identify the predictive factors influencing COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among HCWs and offer strategies to increase the COVID-19 vaccination rate in healthcare settings.
This study constitutes the qualitative portion (second part) of a mixed-methods doctoral thesis employing an explanatory design. It was conducted in two distinct pandemic hospitals and involved 23 vaccine-hesitant HCWs. To conduct the interviews, the researchers developed a semi-structured interview form based on the Health Belief Model (HBM).
Upon analyzing the in-depth interviews, we identified six primary reasons for vaccine hesitancy and four different sub-reasons that reinforce vaccine hesitancy. We also collected four key suggestions from vaccine-hesitant HCWs that could potentially persuade them to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
This study's findings, which encompass the identification of reasons for COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, clarification of underlying factors contributing to hesitancy towards the COVID-19 vaccines, and gathering suggestions from HCWs on how to persuade them to get vaccinated, hold significant value for guiding vaccination campaigns during potential future pandemics.
医护人员对疫苗的犹豫在大流行期间是一项重大挑战和威胁。本研究旨在确定影响医护人员对新冠疫苗犹豫的预测因素，并提供提高医疗机构中新冠疫苗接种率的策略。
本研究是一项采用解释性设计的混合方法博士论文的定性部分（第二部分）。研究在两家不同的大流行医院进行，涉及23名对疫苗犹豫的医护人员。为进行访谈，研究人员基于健康信念模型（HBM）制定了一份半结构化访谈表格。
通过对深入访谈的分析，我们确定了疫苗犹豫的六个主要原因以及四个强化疫苗犹豫的不同子原因。我们还从对疫苗犹豫的医护人员那里收集了四条关键建议，这些建议可能会说服他们接种新冠疫苗。
本研究的结果，包括确定新冠疫苗犹豫的原因、阐明导致对新冠疫苗犹豫的潜在因素以及收集医护人员关于如何说服他们接种疫苗的建议，对于指导未来可能发生的大流行期间的疫苗接种运动具有重要价值。
