Sars-Cov-2 Seroprevalence Among Healthcare Workers Compared to the General Population, 2021-22
Healthcare workers (HCWs) are essential as frontline responders during infectious disease health emergencies. Protecting them is crucial to ensure their health, maintain continuous patient care, and prevent transmission to patients. This study aimed to estimate the SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence trend among HCWs from a Portuguese hospital cohort between May 2021 and June 2022. It also aimed to compare it with the seroprevalence trend in the general po…
Health beliefs and attitudes toward Influenza and Covid-19 vaccination in Portugal: A study using a mixed-method approach
Introduction: Vaccination is one of the most effective population strategies to prevent infectious diseases and mitigate pandemics, and it is important to understand vaccine uptake determinants since vaccine hesitancy has been increasing for the past few decades. The Health Belief Model (HBM) has been widely used for understanding vaccination behavior. The current study aimed to assess influenza vaccine (IV) non-uptake and attitudes toward COVID-…
Parents of Children Diagnosed with Congenital Anomalies or Cerebral Palsy: Identifying Needs in Interaction with Healthcare Services
The changes deriving from the birth of a child with a congenital anomaly (CA) or cerebral palsy (CP) imply, in many cases, an increased interaction with health services. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with a convenience sample of parents of children diagnosed with four groups of CA (severe heart anomalies, spina bifida, orofacial clefts, and Down syndrome) and/or CP. A semistructured online questionnaire to be answered by paren…
Impact of national influenza vaccination strategy in severe influenza outcomes among the high-risk Portuguese population
The yearly influenza vaccination campaigns had a sustained positive benefit for the high-risk population, reducing hospitalizations and deaths. These results can support public health plans toward increased vaccine coverage in high-risk groups
