Descriptive results were cross-tabulated. χ 2 test was used to examine characteristics between nurses who were willing to accept influenza A (H1N1) vaccination against those who were not willing to accept vaccine. Univariate analysis was performed with demographic information (age, post year education and working district), personal protective behaviour (hand washing practice), experience of taking care of SARS patients, and influenza vaccination in the previous 12 months as independent variables. Dependent variables were the willingness to receive pandemic influenza vaccination. Multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between pre-defined factors that we think might be associated with the acceptance of the influenza A (H1N1) vaccine when constructing the questionnaire and the dependent variable. The level of statistical significance was set at a p-value of ≤ 0.05.
