Objective To investigate the situation and related factors of influenza vaccination among healthcare workers in Sichuan, and provide a basis for the formulation of the strategy of influenza vaccination. Methods From August 1st to August 6th, 2022, healthcare workers from 21 prefectures and cities in Sichuan province were selected by the hospital infection quality control centers to conduct an online questionnaire survey for status and related factors of influenza vaccination. Single factor analysis of vaccination rate was carried out by χ2 test, and the related factors of influenza vaccination were analyzed by binary multiple logistic regression model. Results A total of 3264 copies of questionnaires were distributed, and 3244 valid copies were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 99.4%. The vaccination rate of influenza vaccine in the surveyed healthcare workers was 56.9% (1846/3244). The gender, age, professional title, position, department, hospital type, hospital nature, hospital level, influenza awareness, and influenza vaccination willingness were the factors resulting in statistically significant differences in influenza vaccination rate among healthcare workers (P<0.05). Binary multiple logistic regression indicated that age≥35 years old [odds ratio (OR)=0.799, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.681, 0.937), P=0.006], the educational background being bachelor degree or above [OR=1.221, 95%CI (1.036, 1.439), P=0.017], position [nurses vs. doctors: OR=1.339, 95%CI (1.112, 1.612), P=0.002; technicians vs. doctors: OR=1.849, 95%CI (1.278, 2.676), P=0.001], the hospital type being specialized hospital [OR=1.804, 95%CI (1.446, 2.251), P<0.001], hospital level [secondary vs. primary hospitals: OR=0.344, 95%CI (0.271, 0.437), P<0.001; tertiary vs. primary hospitals: OR=0.526, 95%CI (0.413, 0.671), P<0.001], influenza awareness [fair vs. poor: OR=1.262, 95%CI (1.057, 1.508), P=0.010; good vs. poor: OR=1.489, 95%CI (1.142, 1.940), P=0.003], vaccination willingness [OR=4.725, 95%CI (4.009, 5.569), P<0.001] were related factors of influenza vaccination in healthcare workers. The influenza awareness was good in 416 healthcare workers (12.8%), fair in 1989 (61.3%), and poor in 839 (25.9%). The correct rate of influenza vaccination frequency was the highest (82.7%), while the correct rate of influenza contraindication was the lowest (3.2%). Among the healthcare workers, 2206 (68.0%) were willing to be vaccinated, of whom 1548 (70.2%) believed that they could protect people with weak immune function around them after vaccination; 1038 were unwilling to be vaccinated with influenza vaccine in the near future, of whom 335 (32.3%) believed that they had strong immunity and did not need to be vaccinated. Conclusions The influenza vaccination rate of medical staff is related to a variety of factors. Strengthening the publicity and education, and encouraging hospitals to provide free influenza vaccination, especially the correct understanding of contraindications, may be helpful to improve the vaccination rate.
ObjectiveTo investigate the knowledge and attitude of medical professionals in various regions of China on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and to find out the influence of sleep center setting on the above results.MethodsA self-designed questionnaire based on OSAKA questionnaire was designed. A total of 630 medical staff were investigated in 7 hospitals at different levels in various regions in China. The subjects were divided into two groups according to whether they had sleep center (including sleep monitoring room) or not. Survey data were analyzed.ResultsA total of 630 questionnaires were sent out, and 590 valid questionnaires were received, and the effective response rate was 93.65%. About half of those surveyed had sleep centers in the hospitals where they worked. There was no significant difference in three attitude problems and the choice of continuous positive airway pressure and surgical treatment between the two groups (all P>0.05). Subjects whose hospital had no sleep center were more prone to select weight loss (estimated parameters=0.513, P=0.046), no smoking and wine (estimated parameter=0.472, P=0.040), avoidance of overwork (estimated parameter=0.933, P=0.000), and drug (estimated parameter=0.802, P=0.000). The average correct rate of OSA knowledge was 45.59%±20.68%. Among them, the correct rate of response to treatment measures was the highest, and the correct rate of other knowledge points was poor. The average correct rate of total accuracy, symptoms and target organ damage in subjects whose hospital had sleep center was higher than that in subjects whose hospital had no sleep center, and there were significant differences (P=0.001, P=0.012, P=0.000). There was a positive correlation between the knowledge of OSA and their attitude towards OSA, treatment and further understanding of the knowledge (r=0.247, P=0.000).ConclusionIt is necessary to strengthen propaganda and education of OSA, and the establishment of sleep center is helpful for medical personnel to know more about OSA and to develop sleep medicine.

Objective To provide theoretical basis for the reasonable selection of personal protective equipment by analyzing the willingness of protection and the contamination of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 of medical staff in the designated hospital for treatment of coronavirus disease 2019. Methods The medical staff of Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine who entered the contaminated area from May 1 to 31, 2022 were collected as the study subjects. A simple random sampling method was adopted to investigate the willingness of protection of different medical staff leaving the cabin. Contamination of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus2 was detected by fluorescence polymerase chain reaction. Results A total of 70 medical staff were included. There were 61 nurses and 38 in intensive care unit. The survey showed that 47 medical staff chose disposable isolation clothes, 44 medical staff chose protective face screen and 69 medical staff chose double-layer shoe cover/boot cover. A total of 640 specimens were collected. Six positive samples for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus2 nucleic acid test were detected, with a positive rate of 0.94%. All the positive samples were sampled from the sole of a protective clothing. Six positive samples were willing to choose double-layer shoe cover/boot cover. Conclusions The medical staff in designated hospital for treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 tend to take high protection during daily medical activities. However, personal protective equipment is less likely to be contaminated by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus2, and it should be selected rationally to avoid excessive protection.
Objective To explore the impact of community healthcare workers’ (CHWs) knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) on the influenza vaccination among elderly people. Methods By means of simple random sampling, 1 residential quarter of each communities, 2 communities of each districts, 5 districts of Chengdu city were randomly selected, and the elderly equal to or more than 60-year-old were on-site investigated. Meanwhile, the questionnaire survey was conducted among healthcare workers in the selected communities. Results There were 4 KAP factors played a positive role in influenza vaccination among elderly people: CHWs’ affirmation of the effectiveness of influenza vaccine, explicitly knowing the focus groups for influenza vaccination, recommendation of vaccination in flu season when the elderly visits, and participation in flu-related education activities. When the accuracy rate of each factor got improved by 1%, the influenza vaccination rate would improve by 2.747%, 1.299%, 0.864%, 0.602%, respectively. Conclusion The knowledge, attitude and practice of HCWs have impacts on the influenza vaccination rates of elderly people. They are significant to improve the influenza vaccination rates of the elderly.
Objective To understand the current situation of the use and cognition of personal protective equipment (PPE) by healthcare workers in the isolation wards (rooms) during the coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic, and provide data support for the country to further optimize the configuration of PPE and carry out more targeted training and supervision. Methods In March 2020, healthcare workers in isolation wards (rooms) in provinces and cities in the country were investigated by filling in a questionnaire about the use of different levels of PPE. Results A total of 6 859 questionnaires were collected from 29 provinces and cities, containing 5 935 valid questionnaires (86.53%). Among them, there were 448 assisting-Hubei medical team members and 5 487 non-assisting-Hubei healthcare workers. The actual use rate (74.22%) and intended use rate (73.14%) of surgical masks in the cleaning areas were the highest. The actual use rate and intended use rate of working caps in potentially contaminated areas and contaminated areas were higher than 90%. There were various combinations of protective articles, and there were significant differences between actual use and intention (P<0.05). Except for the boot covers (single layer) in the cleaning areas, the working caps, isolation clothing and boot covers (double layer) in the potential pollution areas, and the protective face screens, working caps, three-layer shoe covers and single/double/three-layer boot covers in the pollution areas-splashing operations (P>0.05), the actual utilization rates of protective articles of the assisting-Hubei medical team members were generally higher than those of the non-assisting-Hubei healthcare workers (P<0.05). Conclusions The instructions for the use of PPE in different areas and operations should be further refined, and standardized training should be increased. The phenomenon of non-standard use of protective equipment should be reduced, and a safety barrier should be provided to the healthcare workers.
