Abstract

Background: In response to the 2019 Polio outbreak in the Philippines, it is crucial to examine the current understanding and beliefs about the disease. This study assessed the knowledge and attitudes of mothers towards Polio and Polio vaccination in a rural community.

Materials and methods: Sixty-two mothers in a selected rural barangay in Negros Occidental, Philippines, participated in this cross-sectional study using a survey questionnaire in July 2021. Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were employed.

Results: The results showed that 43.50% of mothers had a high level of knowledge and 74.20% had a favorable attitude towards Polio and Polio immunization. There was a significant relationship (p = 0.05) between knowledge and attitude towards Polio and Polio immunization.

Conclusions: This study underscores addressing knowledge gaps through public health campaigns may improve beliefs and perceptions about immunization programs.

小儿麻痹症疾病和免疫：农村社区菲律宾母亲的知识和态度。

背景：为了应对2019年菲律宾的脊髓灰质炎疫情，检查当前对该疾病的理解和信念至关重要。本研究评估了农村社区母亲对脊髓灰质炎和脊髓灰质炎疫苗接种的知识和态度。材料和方法：于2021年7月，在菲律宾西内格罗斯的一个选定的农村村，62名母亲使用调查问卷参与了这项横断面研究。采用描述性统计和相关分析。结果：调查结果显示，43.50%的母亲对脊髓灰质炎和脊髓灰质炎免疫的知识水平较高，74.20%的母亲对脊髓灰质炎和脊髓灰质炎免疫持良好态度。小儿麻痹症知识和态度与小儿麻痹症免疫接种有显著相关（p = 0.05）。结论：本研究强调通过公共卫生运动解决知识差距可能会改善对免疫规划的信念和看法。
