Abstract The promotion of the booster shots against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infection is an open issue to be discussed. Little known about public intention and influencing factors regarding vaccine. A cross‐sectional survey in Chinese adults was conducted using online questionnaire, which designed on basis protection motivation theory (PMT) scale vaccine hesitancy (VHS). Hierarchical multiple regression used compare fitness PMT VHS for predicting vaccination intention. Multivariable logistic analyze associated with acceptance. Six thousand three hundred twenty‐one (76.8%) participants were willing take shot. However, rest (23.2%) still hesitant more powerful than explaining Participants high perceived severity (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 0.69) response cost (aOR 0.47) less shots, but susceptibility 1.19), efficacy 2.13), self‐efficacy 3.33) shots.

BackgroundMass vaccination against Covid-19 has been recognised as the most effective strategy for overcoming pandemic emergency and remains crucial in ongoing efforts to mitigate impact of virus. The present study aimed test efficacy an extended Theory Planned Behaviour (TPB) model predicting intention three different phases pandemic. Understanding how psychological drivers vaccine acceptance may have changed throughout is essential informing public health strategies addressing hesitancy, even current post-pandemic context.MethodsUsing a repeated cross-sectional survey, we tested hypothesised TPB (intention, attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, anticipated affective reactions, risk perception, trust science, institutions religiosity) across independent samples: before (T1: November–December 2020; N = 657), during (T2: March–May 2021; 818), after (T3: February–March 2022; 605) start campaign Italy.ResultsResults indicated significant differences between time points all investigated variables, pointing general trend improvement acceptability levels at T2 compared T1, worsening T3 other two points. Interestingly, net these differences, multi-group SEM analysis supported invariance, time, structural relationships examined within TPB.ConclusionFindings demonstrated stages pandemic, suggesting that model, its version, represents valuable framework designing interventions promoting uptake.

Ensuring vaccine access is a prerequisite for promoting human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination. Although HPV vaccination efforts in China have primarily focused on young females, little research has examined the difficulties they face accessing and its impact uptake intention. This study analyzed overall perception of to vaccines, as well three specific difficulties, their influencing factors among female university students China. We also associations between intention uptake. A cross-sectional was conducted from eight universities or colleges Zhejiang Province, China, December 2020 January 2021. Logistic regressions were used identify associated with both perceptions difficulties. multivariable logistic regression model multiple linear explore by controlling potential confounding factors, respectively. total 3176 included this study. The proportion perceiving difficulty obtaining vaccine, desired type centers, information, 60.6%, 57.7%, 60.7%, 54.0%, Perceived information Chinese generally perceived various vaccine. It crucial improve optimize layout service quality enhance dissemination transparency information. More are needed provide strong guarantee students.

Do optimism and moralization predict vaccination? A five-wave longitudinal study.

Published: March 23, 2023

To examine if personal and comparative optimism, perceived effectiveness, moralization of vaccination predict people's decision to get vaccinated.We measured self-reported decisions in a five-wave longitudinal study (N ≍ 5,000/wave) Belgium over six months period (December 2020-May 2021) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Among predictors were demographic factors, optimism for three aspects (infection, severe disease, good outcome), effectiveness vaccination, extent which is being viewed prosocial terms (altruism, civic spirit) versus as instrumental one's self-interest (common sense, concern about health).The actual availability vaccines changed outlook on vaccination. Marked differences emerged between linguistic-cultural regions (Flemish Region, Walloon Brussels Capital Region). Personal predicted different extents depending participants' age whether was infection, or outcome. In older participants, mostly by optimism; younger it optimism. Moralizing lower likelihood positive decision, that is, higher vaccine hesitancy refusal, particularly participants.Assessments risk perception serving inform campaigns should differentiate expectations concerning infection outcome an infection. Public health messages address when targeting populations. Contrary popular belief, moralizing may reduce willingness vaccinated. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).
