Objectives: During the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), vaccine is an important way to build and improve the immune barrier of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the population. The purpose of this study is to understand the current situation of knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine inoculation among Chinese college students during the epidemic of COVID-19, and analyze the influencing factors.
Methods: Using the convenient sampling method, we selected the college students from a comprehensive university in Hunan Province in May 2021 and designed KAP questionnaire about SARS-CoV-2 vaccine inoculation for offline and online survey to analyze the current situation of college students' KAP of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine inoculation and the influenting factors.
Results: The total score of KAP of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine inoculation of Chinese college students was 43.72±5.60. The total score of knowledge was 16.28 ±3.09, and the score of each item was 3.26±0.62. The correct rate of the 5 questions in knowledge was 80.34%, 93.18%, 94.64%, 99.60% and 39.18%, respectively. The total score of attitude was 13.56±2.39, and the score of each item was 3.39±0.60. The total score of behavior was 13.88±2.51, and the score of each item was 3.47±0.63. The total scores of better health status, girls, and medical majors were relatively higher; those of medical majors, older students, and girls had higher scores on vaccination knowledge; those with better health and younger age had higher scores on attitude; those of better health status and girls had higher behavior scores (all P<0.05).
Conclusions: College students' KAP about SARS-CoV-2 vaccine inoculation is generally high, but the knowledge level is relatively low. We should strengthen the propaganda and education for SARS-CoV-2 vaccine inoculation related knowledge, and strengthen the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine inoculation attitude and behavior of college students. Special attention should be paid to the education of vaccination knowledge for non-medical majors, younger, and male students, the guidance of vaccination attitude for those with poor health and older age, and encouragement of vaccination behavior for those with poor health and boys.
目的: 在新型冠状病毒肺炎(以下简称新冠肺炎)疫情期间，疫苗接种是在人群中构建严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2免疫屏障的重要手段。本研究旨在了解新冠肺炎疫情期间中国大学生新冠病毒疫苗接种的知信行现状，并分析其影响因素。方法: 采用方便抽样法，于2021年5月选取湖南省某综合高校的大学生，自行设计新冠病毒疫苗接种知信行问卷进行线下、线上调研，了解大学生对新冠病毒疫苗接种知信行现状并分析及影响因素。结果: 大学生新冠病毒疫苗接种知信行总分为43.72±5.60。其中知识总分为16.28±3.09，每项得分为3.26±0.62，知识方面5个问题回答的正确率分别为80.34%、93.18%、94.64%、99.60%及39.18%；态度总分为13.56±2.39，每项得分为3.39±0.60；行为总分为13.88±2.51，每项得分为3.47±0.63。健康状况较好者、女生、医学专业者的知信行总分相对较高 (P<0.05)；医学专业者、年龄较大者、女生的知识总分相对较高(P<0.05)；健康状况较好者、年龄较小者的态度总分相对较高(P<0.05)；健康状况较好者、女生的行为总分相对较高(P<0.05)。结论: 大学生关于新冠病毒疫苗接种的知信行水平总体较高，但是知识水平相对较低，应加强新冠病毒疫苗接种相关知识的宣教，有针对性地强化大学生新冠病毒疫苗接种的态度及行为；尤其重视对非医学专业者、年龄较小者、男生疫苗接种知识的宣教，对健康状况较差者、年龄较大者疫苗接种态度的引导，对健康状况较差者、男生疫苗接种行为的鼓励。.
