“…The authors suggested the development of an educational curriculum for increasing knowledge and decreasing hesitancy levels [49]. A total of 88.3% of nursing students in a study in the Eastern USA believe that COVID-19 vaccines are safe and the acceptance rate was at 92% [50].…”

et al. 2022

Background: Levels of fear have increased since the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. The absence of a safe and effective vaccine for mass-vaccination deteriorates this situation, which has a significant impact on mental health. This study aimed to assess the feelings of fear among nurses and nursing students in five European countries. Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted in five European countries (Greece, Albania, Cyprus, Spain, and Kosovo) before the start of mass vaccination in Europe. Data collection was conducted in December 2020–January 2021 using an online questionnaire for nursing students and professional nurses. Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) was used for measuring levels of fear. IBM SPSS version 21.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results: The study population included 1135 nurses and 1920 nursing students from Kosovo (n = 1085), Spain (n = 663), Greece (n = 534), Albania (n = 529), and Cyprus (n = 244). According to multivariable analysis, females (OR = 2.53, 95% CI = 1.89–3.15), married (OR = 0.86, 95% CI = 0.24–1.48), nurses (OR = 0.87, 95% CI = 0.28–1.45) and those with a chronic disease (OR = 0.86, 95% CI = 0.11–1.62) were more fearful of COVID-19. Conclusions: It is important to decrease fear in the population of nurses who are at the frontlines of the pandemic. The provision of appropriate education and training activities for nurses and students to manage their stress levels is of high importance. Future studies should focus on levels of fear after the administration of several safe and effective vaccines worldwide.

“…Concern for side effects was cited by the highest percentage of respondents as a reason for hesitancy, which is consistent with multiple studies ( Gogoi et al, 2022 , Belingheri et al, 2021 , Graupensperger et al, 2021 , Kuter et al, 2021 ; Petalarou et al, 2021; Zhou et al, 2021 ). Our study did not attempt to delineate concern over long versus short-term side effects, so we cannot ascertain which type of side effect was of greatest concern to our participants, although consistent with Gogoi et al (2022) and Morris et al (2022) , several write-in responses to our study specifically addressed “fertility.” As in other studies, this issue of trust seemed to underlie many of the reasons identified for hesitancy in our sample ( Manning et al, 2021 ). Concerted efforts to understand and remedy the distrust between future and current healthcare providers, authorities in public health, and members of the research community, represent a critical challenge to address before the emergence of the next global health threat.…”

“…Studies including nursing students have been conducted in China, ( Zhou et al, 2021 ), Europe ( Belingheri et al, 2021 ; Petalarou et al, 2021), and the United States ( Bonnema et al, 2021 , Fontenot et al, 2021 , Manning et al, 2021 , Morris et al, 2022 ). Two studies focused on single schools in the Eastern and Northeastern U.S. regions and included faculty and students ( Manning et al, 2021 , Morris et al, 2022 ). One U.S. study ( Bonnema et al, 2021 ) included ten schools of medicine, nursing, and pharmacy randomly selected from the U.S. News & World Report 2021 Best School Rankings.…”

“…In an Italian study of 934 medical and nursing students, it was observed that 86.1% were willing to be vaccinated against COVID-19 [20]. In the United States, it was observed that 92% of nursing students and professors had a positive attitude toward vaccination [21]. In Brazil, an online survey of adults identified that vaccine hesitancy occurred in only 10.5% of respondents and that only 1.3% had no intention of getting vaccinated [19].…”

Knowing the attitudes and behaviors of nursing students in relation to vaccination is important because they will soon be determinant for the health literacy of the population. Vaccination remains the most effective response in the fight against communicable diseases, including COVID-19 and influenza. The objective of this study is to analyze the attitudes and behaviors of Portuguese nursing students with regard to vaccination. A cross-sectional study was carried out, with data collection from nursing students at a university in Lisbon, Portugal. A sample of 216 nursing students was obtained, representing 67.1% of the students enrolled in this university. What stands out from the results of the questionnaire “Attitudes and Behaviors in Relation to Vaccination among Students of Health Sciences” is that for the majority of students the answers were positive; in addition, 84.7% had a completed vaccination schedule for COVID-19. Being a nursing student, being in the final years of the course and being a woman are the factors that most influence the positive attitude of the students. The results obtained are motivating, because these students will be the future health professionals most likely to integrate health promotion programs through vaccination.
