The purpose of the study was to determine the role of mothers’ attitude and subjective wellbeing on non-compliance to OPV supplemental immunization in Northern Nigeria. Methods: The study utilized a cross-sectional design to assess attitude and subjective well-being of mothers using previously validated VACSATC (Vaccine Safety, Attitudes, Training and Communication-10 items) & SUBI (Subjective Well-being Inventory-40 items) measures. A total of 396 participants (equal number of non-compliant and compliant mothers) from 94 non-compliant settlements were interviewed, after informed consent. T-test was run to assess difference in mean scores between the non-compliant and compliant mothers on VACSATC and SUBI measures. Results: The research showed a significant difference in mean scores between the non-compliant and compliant groups...引言：态度与主观幸福感是影响母亲接受或拒绝口服脊髓灰质炎疫苗（Oral Polio Vaccine，OPV）补充免疫接种的重要因素。本研究旨在探讨母亲的态度与主观幸福感对尼日利亚北部地区母亲口服脊髓灰质炎疫苗补充免疫接种不依从行为的作用。方法：本研究采用横断面设计，使用此前经效度验证的VACSATC（疫苗安全性、态度、培训与沟通量表，Vaccine Safety, Attitudes, Training and Communication，共10个条目）与SUBI（主观幸福感量表，Subjective Well-being Inventory，共40个条目）对母亲的态度与主观幸福感进行评估。在获得知情同意后，研究共纳入来自94个存在接种不依从情况的社区的396名受访者，其中不依从组与依从组母亲人数相等。采用t检验分析两组母亲在VACSATC与SUBI量表得分上的均值差异。结果：本研究显示，不依从组与依从组在量表平均得分上存在显著差异……
