Quantitative studies were searched in PubMed, CINAHL, Web Science, and Google Scholar following PRISMA guidelines. The average rate COVID-19 was 73.19%, ranging from 31% 88.86%. Attitude had strongest association with (r+ = 0.487, 95% CI: 0.368–0.590), followed by subjective norms 0.409, 0.300–0.507), perceived behavioral control 0.286, 0.198–0.369).

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.
