Abstract

Because of the importance of physician in providing medical care to patients and because of their direct involvement in invasive procedures which make them vulnerable to HEPATITIS B. we decided to study the prevalence of HEPATITIS B VACCINATION and other related factors among PHYSICIANS working in Tehran (Iran). 527 PHYSICIANS (general and specialist) working in Tehran(2001) were selected by stratified random sampling method and via correspondence and telephone, information pertaining to their VACCINATION status and other related factors was obtained.Among PHYSICIANS. 391 (74.1%) doctors had a positive history of VACCINATION against HEPATITIS B. This prevalence was 70.1% in male PHYSICIANS and 91.4% in female PHYSICIANS (p<0.001). The mean age of vaccinated PHYSICIANS was 41.4 year and 50.2 year in the others (p<0.01). The mean number of years spent in profession was 13.1 years III vaccinated PHYSICIANS and 22.4 years in the others (p<0.001). The frequency or VACCINATION in general PHYSICIANS was 61.7% and in specialists was 81.5% which was statistically important (P=0.002). The most common factor for not being vaccinated was "inadequate knowledge about the place of VACCINATION (65.4%). Of PHYSICIANS whom were vaccinated. only 28.4% had checked their serum antibody titer after last dose of vaccine.The prevalence of HEPATITIS B VACCINATION among PHYSICIANS in other studies is very deterrent and with respect to those results, our prevalence is fair. The relation between VACCINATION of HEPATITIS B and age, level of education and also duration of professional work showed that PHYSICIANS, who had graduated recently, had been vaccinated more than the others. With respect to the results we suggest to train and inform PHYSICIANS more about VACCINATION.
