Characteristics of participating women.

BackgroundWomen planning to become pregnant, who are pregnant, and who are breastfeeding are more hesitant to take COVID-19 vaccines compared to other women globally.AimThis study investigates COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among women, who are planning for pregnancy, currently pregnant, and breastfeeding women in JordanMethodsAn online cross-sectional study was conducted in the biggest three cities in Jordan, including 874 women.ResultsWomen who were planning for pregnancy, pregnant, or breastfeeding reported statistically significant lower levels of perception of the seriousness of COVID-19 (7.12 ± 0.72, 7.53 ± 1.80, 7.2439 ± 7296, respectively), significant lower levels of perceived benefits of the vaccine (8.92 ± 2.15, 8.73 ± 1.93, 9.09 ± 2.10, respectively), significant lower levels of motivation and causes of action (7.15 ± 1.71, 6.7524 ± 1.40, 7.27 ± 1.68, respectively), and significantly higher levels of COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy (31.32 ± 6.40, 30.11 ± 4.49, 30.27 ± 6.29, respectively) than other women.Married women, those whoe were previously infected with COVID-19, and those who had chronic diseases reported statistically significant lower levels of perception of COVID-19 seriousness, perceived benefits of COVID-19 vaccine, motivation to take COVID-19 vaccine, and causes of action, and significantly higher levels of hesitancy to take COVID-19 vaccine than unmarried women, those who have not been infected with COVID-19, and those who were medically healthy (pConclusionsWomen who were planning for pregnancy, pregnant, or breastfeeding in Jordan showed miderate scores in COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy despite the current international recommendations for its safety for women and their foetuses or neonates.背景：全球范围内，相较于其他女性群体，计划妊娠、已妊娠及哺乳期女性对接种新冠疫苗的犹豫程度普遍更高。 研究目的：本研究旨在调查约旦境内计划妊娠、已妊娠及哺乳期女性的新冠疫苗犹豫现状。 方法：在约旦三大核心城市开展线上横断面研究，共纳入874名女性受试者。 结果：与其他女性相比，计划妊娠、已妊娠及哺乳期女性对新冠疫情严重性的认知水平显著更低，对应评分分别为7.12±0.72、7.53±1.80、7.2439±7296；其对新冠疫苗获益的认知水平亦显著更低，评分分别为8.92±2.15、8.73±1.93、9.09±2.10；接种动机与行为驱动因素评分同样显著更低，分别为7.15±1.71、6.7524±1.40、7.27±1.68；而新冠疫苗接种犹豫程度则显著更高，评分分别为31.32±6.40、30.11±4.49、30.27±6.29。 已婚、既往感染新冠及患有慢性病的女性，相较于未婚、未感染新冠及身体健康的女性，其对新冠疫情严重性的认知、新冠疫苗获益认知、接种动机及行为驱动因素评分均显著更低，新冠疫苗接种犹豫程度则显著更高（p值未完整标注）。 结论：尽管目前国际指南推荐新冠疫苗对女性及其胎儿或新生儿具有安全性，但约旦境内计划妊娠、已妊娠及哺乳期女性的新冠疫苗犹豫程度仍处于中等水平。
