The health attitudes and behaviors of 94 mothers of preschool children were investigated by personal interview in this descriptive correlational study. Mothers were divided into two groups, depending on their compliance or noncompliance, with recommended immunizations for their children. Subjects were assessed for health locus of control, perceived vulnerability to six communicable diseases, and health as a value. Demographic variables of age, education, religion, ethnicity, income, and recall of earlier poliomyelitis epidemics were studied. Analysis of variance, chi-square and descriptive statistics were used in the data analysis. Results revealed no significant differences between compliant and noncompliant mothers to health locus of control measure, perceived vulnerability to six diseases under study, or recollection of earlier poliomyelitis epidemics. The majority of mothers were Hispanic, Catholic, in their late twenties, of low income and with a 12th grade education or less. Health as a value was selected first or second by the subjects in most cases, regardless of immunization compliance behavior. Compared with a normative sample, mothers in this study were predominantly more external than internal in their locus of control orientation.
在这项描述性相关性研究中，通过个人访谈对94名学龄前儿童的母亲的健康态度和行为进行了调查。母亲们根据其是否遵守为孩子推荐的免疫接种情况被分为两组。对受试者的健康控制点、对六种传染病的感知易感性以及健康价值观进行了评估。研究了年龄、教育程度、宗教、种族、收入以及对早期脊髓灰质炎流行的回忆等人口统计学变量。数据分析采用方差分析、卡方检验和描述性统计。结果显示，在健康控制点测量、对所研究的六种疾病的感知易感性或对早期脊髓灰质炎流行的回忆方面，遵守和不遵守规定的母亲之间没有显著差异。大多数母亲是西班牙裔、天主教徒，年龄在二十多岁后期，收入较低，教育程度为十二年级或更低。在大多数情况下，无论免疫接种遵守行为如何，健康价值观在受试者中被选为第一或第二。与一个标准样本相比，本研究中的母亲在控制点取向方面主要更倾向于外部控制而非内部控制。
