Opis:
ObjectivesA legally regulated program of mandatory vaccinations is in place in Poland. The number of vaccination refusals increased from 3437 to 48 609 in 2010–2019. The aim of the study was to determine the association of various socio-demographic factors with the attitudes of the residents of Poland to prophylactic vaccination.Material and MethodsThe study was based on a secondary statistical analysis of a representative sample of 977 adult residents of Poland (a cross-sectional questionnaire-based study). Data was purchased from the Public Opinion Research Center.ResultsThe study group was characterized by a high level of acceptance of vaccinations. At the same time, nearly a third (31%) of the subjects agreed with the statement that vaccination is promoted mainly because this is in the interests of pharmaceutical companies, and more than a fifth (22%) of the respondents believed that vaccines for children can cause serious developmental disorders, including autism. A detailed multivariate analysis based on logistic regression revealed that being deeply religious (compared to being a non-believer) and living in a town with a population of 20 000–499 999 (compared to living in a rural area) were strongly associated with a very high acceptance of the anti-vaccination content. The opposite attitude was associated with having an average or good financial situation (compared to a poor financial situation), having completed vocational education (compared to primary education) and being ≥65 years old (as opposed to being <30 years old).ConclusionsMost socio-economic factors analyzed did not influence the respondents’ attitudes to prophylactic vaccination or showed little influence. Strong anti-vaccination beliefs were associated with being deeply religious and living in a town with a medium-size or small population.

Opis:
Introduction. Recommended vaccination plays an important role in reducing the risk of complications, which may accompany many dangerous diseases. However, they also generate numerous ambivalent emotions among parents. The aim of the study was to evaluate the factors which might influence parents’ decision to have their children given the recommended vaccines. Material and methods. 100 parents of children aged between 0 and 5 took part in the study. The survey was carried out by means of a diagnostic poll with the application of a self-designed research questionnaire. Results. Parents’ level of education and knowledge has a significant influence on positive decisions concerning recommended vaccination of their children. The advocacy of anti-vaccination movements does not entail the decision about not having their children vaccinated. Conclusions. Promotional campaigns should be launched in the media, in which solid information should be provided by doctors and nurses. Popularizing free vaccination campaigns among parents will increase the number of vaccinated children.
Wstęp. Szczepienia zalecane stanowią istotny element w zmniejszaniu ryzyka powikłań związanych z zachorowaniem na wiele groźnych chorób. Budzą jednak wiele sprzecznych emocji u rodziców. Celem badań była ocena czynników mogących mieć wpływ na podjęcie przez rodziców decyzji o zaszczepieniu dzieci zalecanymi szczepionkami. Materiał i metody. Badaniem objęto 100 rodziców dzieci wieku 0-5 roku życia. Badania zostały przeprowadzone metodą sondażu diagnostycznego z wykorzystaniem autorskiego kwestionariusza ankiety. Wyniki. Poziom wykształcenia i wiedzy rodziców ma znaczący wpływ na podejmowanie pozytywnych decyzji o szczepieniu dziecka zalecanymi szczepionkami. Poparcie dla działalności ruchów antyszczepionkowych nie decyduje o niezaszczepieniu dziecka. Wnioski. Należy podjąć działania propagujące znaczenie szczepień poprzez udzielanie rzetelnych informacji przez zespół lekarsko-pielęgniarski z wykorzystaniem mediów. Propagowanie wśród rodziców bezpłatnych akcji szczepionkowych zwiększy szczepialność wśród dzieci.

Opis:
Pregnancy places otherwise healthy women at an increased risk of complications arising from an influenza infection. It is suggested that physiological changes such as immunological changes, increased cardiac output and oxygen consumption, as well as lung tidal volume might increase the susceptibility to influenza complications if infection occurs during pregnancy. Immunization of pregnant women against influenza is currently recommended in many countries and has been proven to be safe and effective in reducing rates and severity of the disease in vaccinated mothers and their children. Influenza vaccination is also cost-effective. Nevertheless, influenza vaccine coverage remains low in pregnant women. This might stem from the lack of healthcare workers' education, a feeling among the general public that influenza is not a serious disease and a failure of prenatal care providers to offer the vaccine. In order to protect pregnant women and infants from influenza related morbidity and mortality an educational programme targeting healthcare workers in charge of pregnant women should be implemented.

INTRODUCTION: This study aims to assess the clinical profile, co-morbidities and pulmonary involvement by means of CT-SS and CO-RADS in unvaccinated and completely vaccinated individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 infection. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 138 adult patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 Virus between January 2021 and January 2022 in Bharati Hospital and Research Centre, Pune, Maharashtra, India were recruited for this retrospective, comparative study. Data was collected from medical records. All patients presenting to the institute with clinical features suggestive of SARS-CoV-2 infection were subjected to confirmative testing and the patients who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection underwent a standardized HRCT thorax imaging. Clinical features, comorbidities, vital parameters and the association of CTSS scores and CO-RAD scores between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals were analyzed. RESULTS: Out of the 138 patients included in this study, 69 (39 male, 30 female) were unvaccinated and 69 (49 male, 20 female) were vaccinated. Mean CO-RADS and CTSS in the unvaccinated cohort was significantly higher than the vaccinated (p <0.001). Mean CO-RADS = 5.14 (unvaccinated) vs 3.72 (vaccinated) and mean CTSS = 15.23 (unvaccinated) vs 10.54 (vaccinated). Patients with no co-morbidities had significantly lower CTSS and CORADS scores, regardless of vaccination status. Vaccinated patients suffered from mild disease, as noted by lower requirement of supplemental oxygen, higher SpO2 on room air, and lower incidence of nonspecific symptoms, respiratory symptoms, and gastrointestinal symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: This study finds that complete vaccination is necessary in order to prevent severe symptoms, high oxygen requirement, and extensive pulmonary involvement in COVID-19.

Opis:
Background During the COVID-19 era, it is crucial to determine the level of relevant infectious disease knowledge amongst medical students as they may influence public opinion by acting as informal medical advisors to their friends and family. We sought to assess the knowledge of students regarding COVID-19 at a single Polish medical university, to understand the level of knowledge and determine if dedicated COVID-19 education is necessary. Material and methods The survey was conducted in Google Forms and access was obtained through the university’s secure email. After exclusion, 1.001 students were enrolled. Results The most common mask used amongst students is a surgical mask. Regarding SARS-CoV-2 transmission, 79,1% chose droplet and 19,3% chose airborne transmission. Only 35% agreed that surgical masks protect them from coronavirus and 70% strongly agreed or agreed that all healthcare workers should wear an N95/FFP3 mask. Students with a healthcare worker in the family more likely agreed that all healthcare workers should wear N95/FFP3 (p = 0.001). The source of information used affected the route of transmission chosen (p = 0.006). Conclusions We recommend combatting contradicting information by healthcare students having dedicated education on SARS-CoV-2, PPE, filtering efficiency of masks, modes of transmission of viruses, and how to use evidence-based medicine for better public health dispersion.

The paper focuses special attention on a project named CARE. The developers of the project is NosoiFighters team, which consists of students of the Cybernetics Faculty in Military University of Technology. The system is a very creative software solution that takes advantage of pioneering sociological theories, graph/networks theory and the last but not least most advanced technologies. It has a very practical purpose, in particular nowadays: countering infectious diseases, for instance HIV/AIDS, malaria, SARS, etc. The paper demonstrates how the system can help us to nail epidemics. CARE has enormous practical potential in regions such as Africa, where there are not enough medicines to treat all who are at risk.

Background: The process of medicalization as a form of biopower is present in many aspects of human life, including vaccination. Aim of the study: The study aims to determine social attitudes towards medicalization in the context of vaccination, and to assess the relationship between children’s vaccinations and the knowledge and education of their parents. Material and methods: This survey-based study involved 180 subjects – 141 women and 39 men. The median of age was 28 years. 32.2% of the participants (58) had a medical education and 67.8% (122) non-medical education. 52.78% of people included in the study (95) had at least one child and 47.22% (85) were childless. The study was conducted using the authors’ questionnaire fallowed by the test of knowledge. Results: Respondents with a high level of knowledge are afraid of vaccination policy and believe that the fact that the state decides on these issues is a violation of human rights. The majority of them do not vaccinate their children. People with medical education vaccinate their children more often than those with non-medical education. Conclusions: In the context of vaccination, it is clear that the level of the knowledge and the number of vaccinated children are unsatisfactory. Repeated myths about harmfulness of vaccinations and fear of adverse postvaccination reactions are the reasons, why parents refuse to vaccinate their children. The control of biopolitics over vaccinations is a part of medicalization, which is strongly experienced by individuals with a high level of knowledge. Reliable information provided by a physician could increase the number of parents, who decide to vaccinate their children.
Wstęp: Proces medykalizacji jako biowładzy i kontroli objął wiele płaszczyzn i sfer ludzkiego życia, w tym w obszar szczepień ochronnych. Cel pracy: Określenie społecznego odczucia medykalizacji w kontekście szczepień ochronnych oraz ocena poziomu wyszczepialności dzieci w odniesieniu do poziomu wiedzy i wykształcenia rodziców. Materiał i metody: Badania przeprowadzono wśród 180 osób – 141 kobiet i 39 mężczyzn, mediana wieku wynosiła 28 lat. Wykształcenie medyczne miało 32,2% (58), niemedyczne – 67,8% (122); 52,78% (95) badanych miało co najmniej jedno dziecko, osoby bezdzietne stanowiły 47,22% (85). Zastosowano sondaż diagnostyczny z wykorzystaniem autorskiego kwestionariusza ankiety wraz z testem wiedzy. Wyniki: Respondenci o wysokim poziomie wiedzy obawiają się polityki szczepień ochronnych oraz twierdzą, że decyzyjność państwa w tej sprawie to łamanie praw człowieka. Większość z nich nie szczepi swoich dzieci. Osoby z wykształceniem medycznym częściej niż osoby z wykształceniem niemedycznym poddają dzieci szczepieniom ochronnym. Wnioski: W kontekście szczepień ochronnych uwidacznia się niezadowalający poziom wiedzy społeczeństwa i niezadowalający poziom wszczepialności dzieci. Powielanie mitów na temat szkodliwości szczepień oraz obawa przez niepożądanymi odczynami poszczepiennymi powoduje rezygnację rodziców ze szczepienia dzieci. Kontrola edubiopolityki nad procesem wyszczepialności wchodzi w obszar medykalizacji, co silnie odczuwają osoby o wysokim poziomie wiedzy. Dostarczenie rzetelnych informacji w relacji lekarz – rodzic mogłoby spowodować wzrost pozytywnych decyzji o szczepieniu.

BackgroundInfluenza vaccinations are recommended for medical staff as an effective and safe form of preventing influenza and its complications. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of selected educational and information interventions on the influenza vaccination coverage (IVC) in nursing personnel and their attitude towards this procedure.Material and MethodsThe study participants (N = 320) were randomly divided into 4 groups. Group 1 participated in stationary training, whereas group 2 participated in distance learning. Additionally, 2 subgroups were established in each of the groups above: 1 subgroup received a reminder about the vaccination in the form of a short text message, and the other group did not receive any such reminder. The IVC rate in each group was determined; the attitude towards influenza vaccination was measured using the health belief model.ResultsThe highest IVC was obtained after stationary training followed by a reminder in the form of a short test message (36%). The reminder significantly affected IVC in the group attending stationary training (p < 0.05, OR = 2.5, 95% CI: 1.16–5.58); however, it had no impact on the IVC in the group participating in distance learning (p > 0.05, OR = 1.2, 95% CI: 0.51–2.83). Both stationary training and distance learning positively influenced the attitude towards influenza vaccinations. A major change in attitudes towards influenza vaccinations was observed only in the case of stationary training followed by a reminder in the form of a short text message (positive changes in perceived susceptibility and severity took place, perceived vaccination benefits increased, and perceived barriers were reduced).ConclusionsStationary training followed by a reminder in the form of a short text message is more effective in increasing the IVC rate compared to distance learning. It also promotes positive changes in attitudes to this prophylactic procedure, which is why it should be recommended for wider implementation.

Opis:
Influenza is one of the most common cyclic respiratory diseases in humans. Methods of prevention are multidirectional, but the most effective and most efficacious way to prevent influenza and its complications is through preventive vaccination. This work aims to determine different factors affecting the decision concerning influenza vaccine. The percentage of people vaccinated against the flu was evaluated, as well as their knowledge of post-influenza complications, etc. among full-time students and bridging studies of nursing and physiotherapy (full-time and part-time) at the University of Technology and Life Sciences in Radom, and students of medicine and pharmacy at the Medical University of Łódź. The research tool was the authors' questionnaire with 18 questions. The surveys conducted, consisting of multiple choice questions, were anonymous. In total, the survey involved 470 students. Overall, the number of people who were vaccinated against influenza in the 2012/13 epidemic season numbered 15 respondents, representing 5.84% of the total group of respondents. For the group of nursing students it was 6%, for physiotherapy students 5%, for students of medicine and pharmacy 14%. The percentage of respondents who said they would get vaccinated if the vaccinaton was free of charge was also low. Increasing the percentage of people vaccinated against influenza (immunization coverage) is a very important measure in preventing influenza epidemics. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the reasons why people are reluctant to be vaccinated against influenza, particularly among students who will work in the future in the health care services sector.

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic re-raised the subject of vaccines and their importance for public health. Given the number of employees, one of the key environments in which vaccination should be promoted is the workplace.Material and MethodsAn original, anonymous and voluntary questionnaire with 13 questions regarding health behaviors of employees in Poland was distributed through HR departments of the companies invited to the research (Computer-Assisted Web Interview – CAWI technique) This publication presents the results of answers to the 3 chosen questions concerning: health issues related to work, interest in health promoting initiatives and following recommendations for physical activity.ResultsAccording to the research presented in this article, 39% of employees in Poland were interested in vaccination against COVID-19. The most popular preventive initiatives are still healthy eating and sport activities. The government allowed organizing vaccinations at the workplace, which gives new opportunities but also obligations and risks. Overall, the potential of a workplace in fighting the coronavirus seems to be used to a very small extent. This carries the need to consult systemic solutions with representatives of employers and occupational medicine practitioners as well as the government.ConclusionsThe workplace should be one of the key habitats for health promoting activities, including vaccinations. The above-mentioned issue should still be the subject of research for solutions tailored to the needs and capabilities of each group (employers, occupational medicine professionals and government). One of the circumstances of promoting the health of employees should be preventive examinations of employees – a doctor’s visit and contact with an occupational medicine nurse. The potential of preventive employee examinations in this area seems to be unused and limited. The level of immunization of employees has an obvious impact on the state of the economy. In view of the voluntary vaccination against COVID-19, this requires educational campaigns aimed at both employees and employers.

Opis:
Chronically hemodialyzed (HD) patients are at a high risk of developing very severe forms of COVID-19 disease. In this article we describe three HD patients (all males, aged 70, 70 and 74 years) vaccinated intramuscularly with a two-dose mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine; BionTech/Pfizer Comirnaty, in whom subsequent breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infections developed. All patients achieved post-vaccine seroconversion for anti-spike antibodies with IgG titers of 445, 227 and 92.5 AU/mL (cut-off, 13 AU/mL) case 1, 2 and 3 respectively. SARS-CoV-2 infection was diagnosed 44, 28 and 48 days after the second dose of BNT162b2 and confirmed with the polymerase-chain-reaction (PCR) test. Two asymptomatic patients underwent this test because of their direct contact with a person with confirmed COVID-19. The third patient reported only a non-significant drop in oxygen saturation, and was hospitalized (case 3). All these patients were characterized by a low post-vaccination neutralizing antibody titer and a high production of these antibodies after falling ill (795, 845 and 5770). Perhaps this production of antibodies is responsible for the mild course of the disease, and the likely reduction of mortality. These breakthrough cases in no way undermine the importance of the vaccinations, and on the contrary argue for their urgency.

Introduction. Vaccinations are one of the most effective medical interventions that protect people against infectious diseases. It should be noted that a new vaccine licensing is always preceded by clinical trials assessing its safety and efficacy. Anti-vaccine propaganda carried out by vaccination opponents has become an international problem with a global reach. Aim. To review the literature on vaccinations of patients from high-risk groups. Material and methods. A literature review of the following databases has been conducted: EBSCO, PubMed, Science Direct, and Springer Link. Results. High-risk groups in the paediatric population include pre-term born infants, patients after stem cell transplantations, children with allergies and other chronic diseases. Vaccinations in the examined groups are generally safe and are an effective method of preventing infections. Conclusion. At a time when the level of vaccine skepticism is high and the epidemiological situation of many diseases is unstable, patients who are more susceptible to infection are particularly endangered. High level of knowledge of health care professionals and their personal positive attitude towards vaccinations are important for improving the vaccination coverage rates. In the light of measles epidemic outbreaks and an almost geometric increase in the number of pertussis cases noted recently, actions are needed to achieve herd immunity.
