RESUME
Introduction. Plusieurs hésitations ont été observées dans la population en général et parmi les professionnels de santé en particulier concernant la vaccination COVID-19. L'objectif de cette étude était de déterminer les facteurs associés à l'acceptation du vaccin COVID-19 parmi les professionnels de santé dans la région de l'Ouest Cameroun. Méthodologie. : Il s’agissait d’une étude mixte composée d’une étude quantitative du type descriptif et analytique et une étude qualitative sur une période de 11 mois, allant de Janvier 2022 à Novembre 2022 portant sur les professionnels de santé de cinq districts sanitaires de la région de l'Ouest Cameroun à savoir Ds Baham, Bandjoun, Foumban, Mbouda, Mifi. Résultats. Nous avons enregistré 665 professionnels de la santé avec un sex ratio de 0,3. La tranche d’âge de 19 à 29 ans était la plus représentée (49,76 %). Le taux de vaccination contre le COVID-19 parmi le personnel de santé était de 48,53 % (IC 95 % : 44,67 % - 52,39 %). Les facteurs indépendants associés à l’acceptation au vaccin COVID-19 parmi le personnel de santé étaient : le sexe féminin ([OR : 0,65 (0,43-0,92)]), la religion chrétienne ([OR : 0,48 (0,28-0,63)]), le témoignage d'une personne atteinte de la forme sévère du covid-19 ([OR : 0,24 (0,07-0,76)]), la connaissance d'un centre de vaccination contre le covid-19 ([OR : 0,75 (0,03-0,98)]) et la recommandation du vaccin contre le covid-19 à un proche parent ([OR : 0,23 (0,09-0,55)]). Conclusion. Les facteurs sociodémographiques, socioprofessionnels et socioculturels influencent l'acceptation des vaccins COVID-19 parmi les professionnels de santé.
ABSTRACT
Introduction. Several hesitations have been observed in the general population and among healthcare professionals in particular regarding COVID-19 vaccination. The objective of this study was to determine the factors associated with the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine among healthcare professionals in the West region of Cameroon. Methodology: This was a mixed study composed of a descriptive and analytical quantitative study and a qualitative study over a period of 11 months, from January 2022 to November 2022, involving healthcare professionals from five healthcare districts in the West region of Cameroon, namely Ds Baham, Bandjoun, Foumban, Mbouda, and Mifi. Results. We included 665 healthcare professionals with a sex ratio of 0.3. The age group of 19 to 29 years was the most represented (49.76%). The vaccination rate against COVID-19 among healthcare personnel was 48.53% (95% CI: 44.67% - 52.39%). The independent factors associated with the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine among healthcare personnel were: female gender ([OR: 0.65 (0.43-0.92)]), Christian religion ([OR: 0.48 (0.28-0.63)]), witnessing a person with severe COVID-19 ([OR: 0.24 (0.07-0.76)]), awareness of a COVID-19 vaccination center ([OR: 0.75 (0.03-0.98)]) and recommendation of the COVID-19 vaccine to a close relative ([OR: 0.23 (0.09-0.55)]). Conclusion. Sociodemographic, socioprofessional, and sociocultural factors influence the acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines among healthcare professionals.
