Abstract

AIM

To assess community awareness, knowledge and perception of the malaria vaccine.

DESIGN

A descriptive cross-sectional survey.

METHODS

Multistage sampling was adopted in recruiting 400 participants. A structured questionnaire designed based on study objectives guided data collection.

RESULTS

Participants were 18-47 years with a mean age of 30 years. A statistically significant association was observed between socio-demographic characteristics (age, marital status, religion, education) and the awareness of the malaria vaccine. Majority of the participants (n = 190, 86.4%) said the vaccine was for the protection of children and they perceived that the vaccine would improve children's ability to fight diseases (n = 158, 71.8%), hence should be administered to every child (n = 201, 91.4%). Nurses and other health workers should intensify public education on the malaria vaccine.

PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION

Caregivers of children in Kassena-Nankana East Municipality.

摘要

目的

评估社区对疟疾疫苗的认知、知识和看法。

设计

描述性横断面调查。

方法

采用多阶段抽样方法招募了 400 名参与者。根据研究目标设计了一份结构化问卷来指导数据收集。

结果

参与者年龄在 18-47 岁之间，平均年龄为 30 岁。社会人口统计学特征（年龄、婚姻状况、宗教、教育）与疟疾疫苗的知晓率之间存在统计学显著关联。大多数参与者（n=190，86.4%）表示疫苗是为了保护儿童，他们认为疫苗将提高儿童抵抗疾病的能力（n=158，71.8%），因此应该给每个孩子接种（n=201，91.4%）。护士和其他卫生工作者应加强公众对疟疾疫苗的教育。
