摘要

背景:新型冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行是一种不断演变的全球威胁,具有高发病率和高死亡率。自身免疫性风湿病患者和使用免疫抑制药物的患者可能面临更严重疾病、住院和死亡的风险增加。疫苗对于抗击COVID-19大流行和遏制感染传播至关重要。与一般人群相比,风湿病患者可能更害怕接种疫苗。洛杉矶县的风湿病患者主要是西班牙裔,代表了一个独特的、可能特别脆弱的群体,需要进一步探索接种COVID-19疫苗的障碍。目的探讨风湿病患者接受新冠肺炎疫苗的意愿。方法:我们进行了一项横断面调查,以评估2021年7月至2021年9月期间洛杉矶县风湿病诊所对COVID-19疫苗接受的看法和障碍,并收到116名患者的反馈。结果:大多数受访者为女性(83.9%),41-60岁(59.8%),西班牙裔(89.2%),高中及以下文化程度(68.7%),类风湿关节炎(56.9%)。我们发现大多数(88.4%)患者至少接种了一剂COVID-19疫苗。我们发现疫苗接受度在年龄、教育、种族和民族方面没有差异。大多数受访者认为,他们的健康状况使他们面临COVID-19并发症的高风险。此外,个人报告说,他们重视风湿病医生在接种疫苗之前与他们讨论疫苗的风险和益处。结论:我们发现,大多数患者已经接种或愿意接种疫苗,接种水平高于美国普通人群,风湿病学家发起的对话可以对患者与COVID-19相关的健康行为产生积极影响。

Attitudes and beliefs towards COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccination among rheumatology patients in a Los Angeles County safety net clinic.

Background: The novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has represented an evolving global threat with high morbidity and mortality. Patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases and on immune-suppressing medications may be at increased risk to more severe disease, hospitalization, and death. Vaccines are essential to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and curb the spread of infection. Rheumatology patients may be more fearful to receive the vaccine compared to the general population. The Los Angeles County rheumatology patients are primarily Hispanic and represent a unique and possibly particularly vulnerable cohort warranting further exploration into barriers to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. We aimed to explore the willingness of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among patients with rheumatic disease.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey to assess the perceptions and barriers to COVID-19 vaccine acceptance in our Los Angeles County rheumatology clinics between July 2021 to September 2021 and received responses from 116 patients.

Results: The majority of respondents were female (83.9%), 41-60 years of age (59.8%), Hispanic (89.2%), with high school or lower level of education (68.7%), and had Rheumatoid Arthritis (56.9%). We found most (88.4%) patients received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. We identified no differences in vaccine acceptance related to age, education, race, and ethnicity. Most respondents agreed that their health condition puts them at high risk of COVID-19 complications. In addition, individuals reported that they valued being engaged by their rheumatologists in discussions of the risk and benefits of the vaccine prior to receiving it.

Conclusion: We found that the majority of patients were already vaccinated or willing to be vaccinated, at higher levels than general United States population and that a conversation initiated by a rheumatologist can have positive effect on patients' health behaviors related to COVID-19.
