Introduction: This study was conducted to assess family physicians' perception of the US Food and Drug Administration-approved mRNA Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines, their plans to be vaccinated with an approved mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, and their support for vaccination of patients and family members. Methods: The authors conducted a cross-sectional survey of 307 practicing family physicians, full-time faculty physicians, and resident physicians in Kansas from December 14, 2020, to December 31, 2020. The study participants completed an anonymous, 20-item survey assessing family physicians' concerns about exposure to COVID-19 and their perceptions of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines to control SARS-CoV-2. A mixed-method approach was used to collect, analyze, and interpret the data. Results: There was a 51.1% response rate. The proportion of family physicians who reported their intentions to be vaccinated for COVID-19 was significantly higher than those who were hesitant to receive the mRNA vaccines (90.6% vs 9.4%; χ2 [1, n = 307] = 201.9.1; P < .0001). Among those who were willing to be vaccinated with an approved mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, the main reasons were to prevent COVID-19 infection; protect self, family, and community; contribute to herd immunity; inspire confidence that the vaccines are safe and end the pandemic and bring life back to normal. Conclusion: Our findings suggest a significantly positive association between a physician's concerns and their willingness to be vaccinated with an approved mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. With the authorization of 2 new mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, future studies should investigate the number of physicians in our study who received the vaccine.

家庭医生对新型 mRNA COVID-19 疫苗的看法

简介：本研究旨在评估家庭医生对美国食品和药物管理局批准的 2019 年 mRNA 冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 疫苗的看法、他们接种批准的 mRNA COVID-19 疫苗的计划，以及他们对为患者和家属接种疫苗。方法：作者对 2020 年 12 月 14 日至 2020 年 12 月 31 日期间堪萨斯州的 307 名执业家庭医生、专职教师和住院医师进行了横断面调查。研究参与者完成了一项包含 20 个项目的匿名调查评估家庭医生对接触 COVID-19 的担忧以及他们对控制 SARS-CoV-2 的 mRNA COVID-19 疫苗的看法。使用混合方法来收集、分析和解释数据。结果：响应率为 51.1%。报告打算接种 COVID-19 疫苗的家庭医生的比例显着高于那些对接种 mRNA 疫苗犹豫不决的人（90.6% vs 9.4%；χ2 [1, n = 307] = 201.9.1；P < .0001）。在愿意接种经批准的 mRNA COVID-19 疫苗的人中，主要原因是为了预防 COVID-19 感染；保护自己、家庭和社区；有助于群体免疫；激发人们对疫苗安全并结束大流行并使生活恢复正常的信心。结论：我们的研究结果表明，医生的担忧与其接种批准的 mRNA COVID-19 疫苗的意愿之间存在显着正相关。获得 2 款新型 mRNA COVID-19 疫苗的授权，
