Interventions are needed to decrease measles and rubella (MR) vaccine hesitancy/refusal among Jordanian parents during the implementation campaign in Jordan by 2023. This study developed an educational video for parents with hesitancy or refusal to enhance their attitudes and decisions toward the MR vaccine.
This study aimed to assess the impact of video-based educational intervention on the attitudes of parents toward the MR vaccine and the decision to accept the MR vaccine.
One group pretest-posttest experimental design was used. A 5-min MR vaccine education video was shown to parents. Parents' decisions on the MR vaccine and the parent attitudes about childhood vaccines (PACV) scale were collected before, immediately, and 2 weeks after the video, the differences in the scores were also measured.
The initial PACV scale score averaged 24 ± 1.5. After watching the MR education video, the PACV scores immediately and after 2 weeks were 21 ± 1.6 and 21.8 ± 1.4, respectively, with a statistically significant difference (p value < 0.05). The parents' likelihood of refusing the MR vaccine decreased immediately and 2 weeks after watching the video (68% and 70.5%; respectively), and this decrease was sustained after 2 weeks (p value = 0.617).
An educational video intervention was associated with improved PACV and improved parents' attitudes toward the MR vaccine, potentially altering the decisions of hesitant or refusing parents to accept the vaccine during the 2023 MR vaccine campaign in Jordan. These positive effects appeared to persist even 2 weeks after the intervention.
在约旦2023年开展的麻疹和风疹（MR）疫苗接种运动期间，需要采取干预措施来减少约旦父母对MR疫苗的犹豫/拒绝。本研究为有犹豫或拒绝态度的父母制作了一部教育视频，以增强他们对MR疫苗的态度和决策。
本研究旨在评估基于视频的教育干预对父母对MR疫苗态度以及接受MR疫苗决策的影响。
采用单组前后测实验设计。向父母播放一段5分钟的MR疫苗教育视频。在视频播放前、播放后立即以及播放后2周收集父母对MR疫苗的决策以及父母对儿童疫苗态度（PACV）量表得分，同时测量得分差异。
初始PACV量表得分平均为24±1.5。观看MR教育视频后，立即和2周后的PACV得分分别为21±1.6和21.8±1.4，差异具有统计学意义（p值<0.05）。观看视频后立即和2周后，父母拒绝MR疫苗的可能性降低（分别为68%和70.5%），且2周后这种降低仍持续存在（p值=0.617）。
教育视频干预与PACV改善以及父母对MR疫苗态度改善相关，可能会改变犹豫或拒绝接种的父母在约旦2023年MR疫苗接种运动期间接受疫苗的决策。这些积极影响在干预后2周似乎仍然存在。
