Abstract

Objective: This study investigated the COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rate among pregnant women in Thailand and explored factors influencing their willingness to receive the vaccine, to enhance vaccine uptake among hesitant pregnant women in the future.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital, Chiang Mai, Thailand, in October 2022. The data was collected using face-to-face questionnaires comprising 29 closed-end questions. Pregnant women aged 18 years old or over visiting the antenatal care clinic were included.

Results: The study included 200 participants, revealing a COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rate of 17%. Healthcare provider recommendations significantly increased vaccine acceptance by nearly two-fold (30.77%, p-value < 0.01). The major cause of vaccine hesitancy was the concern about vaccine safety that potentially harmed their babies (77.44%).

Conclusion: The COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rate among pregnant women in Thailand was low. Healthcare provider recommendations played a pivotal role in positively impacting vaccine acceptance, highlighting their importance in increasing acceptance rates in the future.

COVID-19 泰国孕妇对疫苗的接受程度。

研究目的本研究调查了泰国孕妇对 COVID-19 疫苗的接受率，并探讨了影响其接种意愿的因素，以便在未来提高犹豫不决的孕妇的疫苗接种率：一项前瞻性研究于 2022 年 10 月在泰国清迈的 Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai 医院进行。数据收集采用面对面问卷调查的方式，包括 29 个封闭式问题。访问产前护理诊所的 18 岁或以上孕妇均被纳入其中：研究包括 200 名参与者，结果显示 COVID-19 疫苗的接受率为 17%。在医疗保健提供者的推荐下，疫苗接受率大幅提高了近两倍（30.77%，P 值<0.01）。疫苗犹豫不决的主要原因是担心疫苗的安全性可能会对婴儿造成伤害（77.44%）：结论：泰国孕妇对 COVID-19 疫苗的接受率较低。医疗保健提供者的建议在积极影响疫苗接受度方面发挥了关键作用，这凸显了医疗保健提供者在未来提高疫苗接受度方面的重要性。
