Abstract
Objectives: Health care workers (HCWs) who are unimmunized against influenza put through patients to unnecessary risk of infection. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the vaccination status of HCWs, knowledge of and attitudes towards influenza vaccination. Study design: A cross-sectional survey. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in 459 HCWs of three hospitals between October 2006 and February 2007. They received a username and password to enter in the 芒�?�?queries.tums.ac.ir芒�?聺 website and filled self-administered online questionnaire. Results: The influenza vaccination coverage for the 2006-2007 seasons was 14.4% (range, 11.2% to17.6%). In logistic regression model of variables, only taking the vaccine in the future year (OR=2.44, CI 95%: 1.21-4.89) was significantly associated with influenza vaccination uptake. The mean knowledge score of residents were 24.0�?卤4.4 (range, 9-34) and nurses were 24.1�?卤4.9 (range, 10-33; P=0.9). Resident and nurses who taking the vaccine in the future year, residents who recommend the vaccine to coworkers or family and nurses who having children less than 16 years at home had significantly higher knowledge scores (P-value<0.0001). Conclusion: Our data showed that influenza vaccination coverage is low. We will need education and communication strategies to overcome the lack of knowledge and interest.Biography
