[h=1]Psychosocial determinants of influenza vaccination intention: A cross-sectional study on inpatient nurses in Singapore.[/h] Lim DW[SUP]1[/SUP], Lee LT[SUP]2[/SUP], Kyaw WM[SUP]1[/SUP], Chow A[SUP]3[/SUP].
[h=3]Author information[/h]
[h=3]Abstract[/h] Nurses have the closest interaction with inpatients and could transmit influenza to patients. From a self-administered questionnaire survey among inpatient nurses at a tertiary hospital, we observed that the strongest factors associated with intention for future vaccination were perceived benefits of and motivations for vaccination (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 3.30; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.55-4.27), and perceived nonsusceptibility to influenza and preference for vaccination alternatives (aOR, 0.26; 95% CI, 0.20-0.34). These factors need to be addressed to increase vaccination uptake and prevent nosocomial transmission.
