Abstract

Aim: The purpose of the present study was to determine cancer patients' attitudes toward the anti-COVID-19 vaccine.

Background: Historically, the scientific community's responsibility was to investigate attitudes about vaccination. The course of COVID-19 in cancer patients makes them a high priority for vaccination. Cancer patients are at greater risk of serious complications and death because of COVID-19 infection.

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to determine cancer patients' attitudes toward the anti-COVID-19 vaccine. We examined several constructs that potentially influenced cancer patients' perceptions of the vaccine: health status, knowledge of COVID-19 and vaccination, cancer patients' perceptions of vulnerability, and attitudes toward general vaccines.

Methods: We conducted a collective case study with 200 cancer patients undergoing treatment, and divided the sample into two groups: patients who "expected to heal" (Group A) and patients who "expected to chronicize" (Group B). Data were collected through a purpose-built questionnaire consisting of 22 questions and a study of medical records.

Results: Data analysis showed that both groups, Group A (M= 3.89 SD= 0.64) and Group B (M= 3.98 SD= 0.64), had a favorable attitude toward the anti-COVID-19 vaccine. This favorable attitude toward the anti-COVID-19 vaccine depended on several factors: perception of vulnerability to COVID-19, perception of the severity of their oncological situation, and communication with oncologists.

Conclusion: Our study highlighted the plurality of factors that influence attitudes toward the anti-COVID-19 vaccine. It is therefore of fundamental importance to increase the use of the shared decision-making approach (SDM) to guide the patient to an informed choice.

癌症患者对抗Covid-19疫苗的态度:一项集体案例研究。
目的:本研究旨在确定癌症患者对抗COVID-19疫苗的态度。背景:从历史上看,科学界的责任是调查人们对疫苗接种的态度。癌症患者的新冠肺炎病程使他们成为接种疫苗的高度优先对象。由于新冠肺炎感染,癌症患者出现严重并发症和死亡的风险更大。目的:本研究旨在确定癌症患者对抗新冠肺炎疫苗的态度。我们研究了几种可能影响癌症患者对疫苗认知的结构:健康状况、对新冠肺炎和疫苗接种的了解、癌症患者对脆弱性的认知以及对普通疫苗的态度。方法:我们对200名正在接受治疗的癌症患者进行了集体病例研究,并将样本分为两组:“有望治愈”的患者(a组)和“有望慢性化”的患者。数据是通过一份由22个问题组成的专门问卷和一项医疗记录研究收集的。结果:数据分析显示,A组(M=3.89 SD=0.64)和B组(M/3.98 SD=0.64。这种对抗新冠肺炎疫苗的积极态度取决于几个因素:对新冠肺炎脆弱性的认知、对肿瘤病情严重性的认知以及与肿瘤医生的沟通。结论:我们的研究强调了影响人们对抗COVID-19疫苗态度的多种因素。因此,更多地使用共享决策方法(SDM)来引导患者做出明智的选择至关重要。
