Abstract: (247 Views)
Background and Objectives: Children have been identified as potential carriers of the corona virus disease, and their vaccination plays a vital role on breaking the transmission chain of this disease. Considering that the final decision-makers regarding children's vaccination are their parents; It seems that any change in parents' knowledge, attitude or level of anxiety can affect the spread of the covid-19 pandemic. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between knowledge and attitude with parents' anxiety towards covid-19 vaccination in their children.
Materials and Methods: The current study is a cross-sectional study that was conducted from June to September 2022. A total of 250 parents of children and adolescents under 18 years of age referring to health centers in Ilam city were selected and invited to the study by available sampling method. The data were collected using demographic information questionnaire, the Knowledge, Attitude, Practice and Concern questionnaires of COVID-19 vaccine (KAPC) and COVID-19 vaccination anxiety questionnaire. In order to analyze the data, descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation were used in SPSS version 24 software.
Results: In the parents participating in the present study, the level of anxiety and attitude had a direct and significant correlation (r=0.54, P<0.05). While no significant correlation was observed between the level of anxiety and parents' knowledge (r=0.07, P=0.24).
Conclusion: Based on the findings, there is a statistically significant relationship between parents' anxiety and their attitude. Therefore, it is suggested that children's nurses as well as community health policy makers provide appropriate educational spaces to promote parents' positive attitude toward the covid-19 vaccination in order to reduce parents' vaccination anxiety.
