摘要：

In 2007, the Dutch Health Council recommended influenza vaccination of at[ institutional healthcare workers (HCWs). In this questionnaire study largely based on the health belief model we assessed the attitude and intentions of hospital personnel towards such vaccination. We sent out 220 questionnaires to medical. personnel, and nurses of departments of the University Medical Center Utrecht, The Netherlands. Only one-third of the 112 responders (response rate of 51%) reported a positive intention to comply with the national recommendation. Factors associated with a positive intention were the awareness of a HCW's responsibility not to harm patients, the belief to have a high risk of influenza infection and confidence in vaccine efficacy. Physicians were more likely than nurses and other staff to have a positive intention. Education is needed to convince hospital personnel about influenza vaccination. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
