Hepatitis B Vaccination Coverage and Associated Factors Among Healthcare Workers: A Cross-Sectional Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major occupational hazard among healthcare workers (HCWs), particularly in resource-limited settings where vaccination coverage remains low. This study aimed to assess hepatitis B vaccination coverage and associated factors among healthcare workers. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from September 20 to November 3, 2025, among 448 healthcare workers. Participants were selected using a census sampling method. Data were collected using a structured, pretested questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS version 25. Binary and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with vaccination status. Statistical significance was declared at Results: Only 170 (37.9%) participants were fully vaccinated against HBV. Good knowledge and favorable attitude were observed in 68.4% participants who responded appropriately for at least 70% of knowledge related questions and 79.9% of participants who responded appropriately for at least 70% of attitude related questions. Factors significantly associated with vaccination included infection prevention training (AOR = 8.44; 95% CI: 2.00-12.65), good knowledge of HBV infection (AOR = 2.29; 95% CI: 1.60-3.11), knowledge of HBV vaccination (AOR = 4.29; 95% CI: 1.40-13.14), and favorable attitude (AOR = 3.62; 95% CI: 1.89-4.14). Conclusion: Hepatitis B vaccination coverage among HCWs was low. Strengthening institutional vaccination programs, improving access to free vaccines, and enhancing infection prevention training are essential to improve coverage.
