Abstract

Abstract Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has posed a significant global challenge, necessitating the development and administration of vaccines to halt its spread. Nevertheless, there is limited information on the predictors, patterns, and personality variables influencing COVID-19 vaccine uptake among Nigerian health-care workers (HCWs). Aim: The study set to assess level of factors including personality factors that influence acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccines among.HCWs in Nigeria. Materials and Methods: From August 9 to October 11, 2021, a web-based, cross-sectional survey was conducted on 300 HCWs in Nigeria, aged 19 and above, with social media access and English language proficiency. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square, and binary logistic regression were used to analyse the data on the SPSS version 20. Results: The findings revealed that while 64% of those who participated in the study received the first dosage of the COVID-19 vaccine, only 48.3% returned for the second dose. The impression of heightened susceptibility to contracting COVID-19 was the primary reason for vaccination uptake. Although education level was associated with vaccination uptake, it did not predict it independently. The age distribution, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and high vulnerability as a rationale for receiving a vaccine were all the independent predictors of vaccine uptake. Conclusion: This study reveals that despite their role as vaccination advocates, HCWs can exhibit hesitancy toward novel vaccines. To increase vaccine uptake among HCWs and the general population, it is crucial to recognise the factors that influence vaccine acceptance among them, including individual personality variables, and incorporate this understanding into vaccination promotion programs.

人格特征是尼日利亚医护人员接种COVID-19疫苗的关键决定因素
背景:2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行对全球构成重大挑战,需要开发和使用疫苗来阻止其传播。然而,关于影响尼日利亚卫生保健工作者(HCWs)接种COVID-19疫苗的预测因素、模式和个性变量的信息有限。目的:研究影响新冠肺炎疫苗接受程度的因素,包括人格因素。尼日利亚的卫生保健工作者。材料与方法:从2021年8月9日至10月11日,对尼日利亚300名19岁及以上的医疗保健工作者进行了一项基于网络的横断面调查,这些人具有社交媒体访问和英语语言能力。采用描述性统计、卡方和二元logistic回归在SPSS version 20上分析数据。结果:研究结果显示,参加研究的人中有64%接种了第一剂COVID-19疫苗,但只有48.3%的人接种了第二剂疫苗。对感染COVID-19的易感性增加的印象是接种疫苗的主要原因。虽然教育水平与疫苗接种有关,但不能独立预测。年龄分布、随和、尽责性和高度易感性作为接种疫苗的基本原理都是疫苗摄取的独立预测因素。结论:本研究表明,尽管卫生保健工作者是疫苗接种的倡导者,但他们对新型疫苗可能表现出犹豫。为了提高卫生保健工作者和一般人群的疫苗接种率,关键是要认识到影响他们接受疫苗的因素,包括个人性格变量,并将这一认识纳入疫苗接种促进计划。
