Background: The Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine acceptance was lower in
developing countries and it varies from place to place and between population groups. There is
limited evidence of vaccine acceptance and associated factors among chronic patients.
Objective: To assess magnitude of COVID 19 vaccine acceptanceand associated factors among
chronic patients at Wachamo University Nigist Eleni Mohammed comprehensive specialized
hospital, southern Ethiopia, 2022.
Method: A facility based mixed approach (quantitative study complemented by qualitative
study) was conducted from March 20 to April 20, 2022. For quantitative study 371 participants
were selected by simple random sampling and 14 participants were purposively selected for
qualitative study. Binary logistic regression model was used to determine the association
between independent and dependent variable. Crude and adjusted odds ratio with 95%
confidence interval was computed and a variable with p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically
significance. Qualitative data were transcribed verbatim then translated to English and thematic
analysis was usedsupported by ATLAS ti.version 22. Finally the finding was triangulated at
interpretation.
Result: Of the 371 participants, 319(85.98%) respondents were willing to take the vaccine at any
time. Knew someone diagnosed with COVID 19 [AOR 4.03; 95% CI (1.73, 9.41)], having good
knowledge [AOR 3.2; 95% CI (1.40, 7.32)], favorable attitude towards to COVID 19 vaccine
[AOR 2.48; 95% CI (1.12, 5.47)] and completed secondary and above educational status [AOR
4.38; 956% CI (1.17, 16.44)] were statistically associated variables with vaccine acceptance.
Conclusion: The magnitude of COVID 19 vaccine acceptance was higher. Knew someone
diagnosed with COVID 19 infection, having good knowledge, favorable attitude and completed
secondary education were significantlyassociated withCOVID 19 vaccine acceptance. However,
strengthening continuous health education and promotion about the vaccine is still crucial to
avoid unwanted rumors which leadsvaccine refusal. |
