The attitude of Nigerian mothers, mainly Yoruba, towards measles vaccine and other aspects of prevention are influenced by different perceptions of the cause of measles. There is a significant correlation between the literacy of mothers and their belief in the efficacy of measles vaccine but not between their ages and belief. The mothers' perception of measles is a function of their socioeconomic characteristics, with the lower socioeconomic group tending more to define measles within the supernatural context. The findings indicate the necessity for health education to be based on local culture when promoting vaccination.
尼日利亚母亲,主要是约鲁巴族母亲,对麻疹疫苗及其他预防方面的态度受到对麻疹病因的不同认知的影响。母亲的受教育程度与其对麻疹疫苗效力的信念之间存在显著关联,但年龄与信念之间则无此关联。母亲们对麻疹的认知是其社会经济特征的一种体现,社会经济地位较低的群体更倾向于在超自然背景下界定麻疹。研究结果表明,在推广疫苗接种时,基于当地文化开展健康教育很有必要。
