Sociodemographic and psychological determinants of influenza vaccine intention among recipients of autologous and allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant: a cross-sectional survey of UK transplant recipients using a modified health belief model.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Studies exploring vaccination rates among haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients have focused on physician factors that limit uptake. Understanding the patient factors that determine vaccination intention is crucial to delivering a successful vaccination programme. Using a modified health belief model (mHBM), we conducted a cross-sectional survey with the objective of exploring the sociodemographic and psychological factors that determined autologous and allogeneic HSCT recipients' intention to receive the seasonal inactivated influenza vaccine (SIIV) during the 2015-2016 influenza season.

Setting

The setting of our study was three tertiary level, UK National Health Service (NHS) autologous and allogeneic HSCT centres.
