Article Synopsis
- The study investigates why certain individuals in Spain chose not to get vaccinated during the later stage of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, focusing on their beliefs and motivations.
- Two groups of unvaccinated people (ages 18-40) were surveyed online, revealing that many felt vaccines were developed too quickly and were unsafe.
- The findings indicate a need for targeted information campaigns to counter misinformation, as different groups exhibit varying levels of trust in health professionals and willingness to get vaccinated in the future.
Objective: Most patients with mild COVID-19 had to stay at home trying to implement an optimal quarantine. The aim of this study was to describe the COVID-19 cases during the first wave of the pandemic in Spain, how they managed the disease at home, focusing on differences by age, as well as differences in knowledge, attitudes and preventive practices, compared with the uninfected population.
Design: An online survey was used to conduct a cross-sectional study of individuals who were 14 years or older living in Spain during the COVID-19 lockdown.
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is frequent and often coexists with other diseases. The aim of this study was to quantify the prevalence of COPD and related chronic comorbidity among patients aged over 40 years visiting family practices in an area of Madrid.
Methods: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in a health area of the Madrid Autonomous Region (Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid).
