INFLUENZA AND INFLUENZA VACCINATION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF CZECH PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS: KNOWLEDGE AND ATTITUDES

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Objectives: Influenza is a widespread respiratory disease with a potentially risky course. Vaccination is considered the most effective method of prevention. However, only a small portion of the population is vaccinated. Teachers work in a high-risk environment and they have a significant impact on the population through student education. Therefore, the aim of this study was to find out the knowledge and attitudes of pre-service teachers about influenza and vaccination. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted to find out what knowledge, attitudes and behaviour pre-service teachers (N = 373) show in relation to influenza and influenza vaccination. It was statistically tested whether there were differences between students with respect to their field of study. Results: The majority of pre-service teachers have a good knowledge of influenza symptoms, however, they often mistaken it for other respira-tory diseases. The field of study plays only a partial role in the knowledge. The respondents perceive influenza as an easily spread disease, but they have negative attitudes towards vaccination, and most pre-service teachers think that its disadvantages outweigh the advantages. This was stated primarily by pre-services science teachers. These attitudes are also reflected in the low vaccination rate of the sample (6%). Conclusions: Relatively good knowledge of teachers is not reflected in their attitudes and behaviour. Negative attitudes towards vaccination are most held by pre-service teachers, whose field primarily includes teaching this topic. It can have a significant effect on students&apos; attitudes not only toward influenza vaccines but also to other vaccinations.
