This study assessed the risk perception of COVID-19 and the uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine among patients with chronic illnesses in a tertiary health facility.
A hospital-based cross-sectional study.
The outpatient clinics in a tertiary health facility in Ilorin, North-Central Nigeria.
Patients with chronic diseases attending outpatient clinics in UITH, Ilorin from November- December 2022, excluding patients under 18 years of age, using simple random sampling by balloting for outpatient clinics, proportional allocation for participants from each clinic, and systematic sampling method for eligible respondents.
Risk perception of COVID-19 and vaccine uptake among patients with chronic illnesses in Nigeria.
Respondents believed that older people were most at risk of COVID-19. Over two-thirds, 278 (69.5%) of the respondents had received the COVID-19 vaccine. Fear of the unknown (36.0%) and fear of side effects 30 (24.6%) were the most common reasons for not taking the vaccine. Those married were more likely to have received at least one dose of the vaccine (p=0.007).
COVID-19 risk perception and COVID-19 vaccine uptake were relatively above average. Fear of the unknown and side effects were significant reasons for not taking the vaccines.

本研究评估了在一家三级医疗机构中，慢性病患者对 COVID-19 的风险感知以及对 COVID-19 疫苗的接种情况。
基于医院的横断面研究。
尼日利亚中北部城市伊洛林的一家三级医疗机构的门诊诊所。
2022 年 11 月至 12 月期间在 UITH 伊洛林门诊诊所就诊的慢性病患者，排除 18 岁以下的患者，使用简单随机抽样法通过投票选择门诊诊所，按每个诊所的参与者比例分配，然后采用系统抽样法选择合格的受访者。
尼日利亚慢性病患者对 COVID-19 的风险感知和疫苗接种情况。
受访者认为老年人感染 COVID-19 的风险最高。超过三分之二，即 278 名（69.5%）受访者已经接种了 COVID-19 疫苗。对未知的恐惧（36.0%）和对副作用的恐惧（30 人，24.6%）是不接种疫苗的最常见原因。已婚者更有可能接种至少一剂疫苗（p=0.007）。
COVID-19 的风险感知和 COVID-19 疫苗接种率相对较高。对未知的恐惧和副作用是不接种疫苗的重要原因。
无。
