Abstract

RESUMEN. Introducción: Se ha determinado la percepción de vacunarse contra la COVID-19 en múltiples poblaciones laborales, pero esto no ha sido medido en población rural, que muchas veces tiene diferencias importantes de la urbana. Objetivo: Determinar los factores sociolaborales asociados a la negativa a la vacunación contra la COVID-19 en trabajadores rurales de la sierra central peruana. Material y Métodos: Estudio transversal analítico, se usó la Escala-VAC-COVID-19 para medir la percepción acerca de la vacunación, esto se cruzó con variables sociolaborales y se obtuvo estadística descriptiva y analítica. Resultados: En el análisis multivariado, los que no querían vacunarse pertenecían al sector agricultura (RPa: 1,88; valor p=0,003), quienes aún no tuvieron la enfermedad (RPa: 1,61; valor p=0,045) o que no sabían si la habían tenido (RPa: 1,85; valor p=0,017). Los que más querían vacunarse eran los del sector salud (RPa: 0,12; valor p=0,031). Conclusión: El mayor porcentaje de negativa a la vacunación estuvo en quienes pertenecían al sector agricultura, quienes aún no tuvieron la enfermedad o que no sabían si la habían tenido, y el mayor porcentaje de aceptación estuvo en el sector salud.

ABSTRACT Introduction: The perception of being vaccinated against COVID-19 has been determined in multiple working populations, but this has not been measured in the rural population, which often has important differences from the urban one. Objective: To determine the sociolaboral factors associated with the refusal of vaccination against COVID-19 in rural workers of the central Peruvian highlands. Material and Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study, the VAC-COVID-19 Scale was used to measure the perception about vaccination, this was crossed with sociolaboral variables and descriptive and analytical statistics were obtained. Results: In the multivariate analysis, those who did not want to be vaccinated belonged to the agricultural sector (PRa: 1.88; p-value=0.003), those who had not yet had the disease (PRa: 1.61; p-value=0.045) or who did not know if they had had it (PRa: 1.85; p-value=0.017). Those who most wanted to be vaccinated were those in the health sector (RPa: 0.12; p-value=0.031). Conclusion: The highest percentage of refusal to vaccination was in those who belonged to the agricultural sector, those who had not yet had the disease or did not know if they had had it, and the highest percentage of acceptance was in the health sector.
