Comparison Between Knowledge, Attitude and Participation of Health Care Workers and Civilians at Immanuel Hospital Bandung towards COVID-19 Vaccine

Abstrak

  Vaccine for COVID-19 is held with the hope of being the pandemic solution but it also gets various responses from various groups, so researchers want to compare the knowledge, attitudes, and participation of health workers and civilians towards the COVID-19 vaccine. The research design used a cross-sectional study with a total sample of 101 respondents from health workers using simple random sampling and civilians using incidental sampling by time. The data were taken in March-April 2021 using a questionnaire at Immanuel Hospital Bandung. Data analysis used univariate and multivariate analysis. The results showed that 84% of health workers and 83.1% of civilians had good knowledge; 99% of health workers and 93% of civilians are supportive; 89% of health workers and 78.2% of civilians participate in the COVID-19 vaccine. The relationship between knowledge and attitudes has a close relationship (p <0.05), as well as knowledge and participation (p <0.05) and attitudes towards participation (p <0.05) in both civilians and health workers. Both groups have good knowledge, supportive attitude and are willing to participate in the COVID-19 vaccine—the better the knowledge, the better the attitudes and participation. Likewise, the better the attitudes, the more willing they are to participate in the COVID-19 vaccine. Keywords: vaccine; COVID-19; knowledge; attitude; participation
