COVID-19 related infodemic is a threat to the successful vaccination campaigns. This might be especially apparent for patients with autoimmune diseases since there no data available about balance between benefits and risks of newly developed vaccines in this population. We aim (i) evaluate vaccine literacy skills population systemic diseases, (ii) examine potential associations sociodemographic characteristics (iii) analyze relationships attitudes, perceptions beliefs current vaccinations characteristics. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 319 (92% females; 49.5% 31-50 years age category). The levels were determined using Health Literacy Vaccination adulthood Italian (HLVa-IT).

Regular testing and vaccination are effective measures to mitigate the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Evidence on willingness uptake of is scarce, may change as pandemic evolves. This study aims examine during a low-risk period in urban China.A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among 2244 adults China. Descriptive analyses were performed compare respondents' vaccination. Multivariate logistic regressions fitted investigate factors associated with two measures.In early 2021, about half (52.45%) respondents had received or scheduled test at least once, majority (95.63%) willing receive testing. About two-thirds (63.28%) received/scheduled vaccine. Willingness not socio-demographic characteristics, except for occupation. Being older age, migrants, having higher educational attainment secure employment surveyed respondents, while vaccinate consistent across characteristics those who been vaccinated.By Chinese expressed almost universal over have tested, relatively low Maintaining critical necessary, especially when evolved into period.

The COVID-19 pandemic, and the social distancing practices that followed, have been associated with increased prevalence of emotional disorders. However, not all individuals affected by COVID-19-related experienced elevations in disorder symptoms. Understanding this phenomenon is crucial public health significance given burden disorders on systems. In narrative review, we consider differential impact mental outcomes from a transdiagnostic perspective. We argue high negative affect aversive reactivity to emotion, is, neuroticism, who respond such experiences emotion-motivated avoidant coping, are most likely experience context distancing. acknowledge pro-social adaptive function some types avoidance during which may initially buffered against outcomes.

Vaccine uptake concerns in the Unites States were at forefront of public health discussions during COVID-19 pandemic. By end 2022, approximately 80% U.S. population was vaccinated against virus. This study examined relationship between perceived social support and vaccine among adults.Using nationally representative cross-sectional data on 21,107 adults from 2021 National Health Interview Survey, we assessed vaccination rates across individuals with strong, some, weak levels support. Multivariable logistic regression models estimated to obtain odds being different for full sample sub-samples age groups.We found that compared strong support, 21.1% less likely be COVID-19. Apart 18-24 years group, lower likelihood evident 24-49 (AOR=0.66, 95% CI: 0.52-0.85), 50-64 (AOR=0.67, 0.50-0.90), 65+ (AOR=0.56, 0.41-0.75) groups.These findings are consistent a broader literature indicating increases healthy behaviors decreases risky behaviors. Interventions designed improve perception particularly those high risk mortality may promising tactic increasing uptake.

Identity resilience, science mistrust, COVID-19 risk and fear predictors of vaccine positivity and vaccination likelihood: A survey of UK and Portuguese samples

Based on Identity Process Theory, we hypothesised that two elements of identity resilience (identity worth and continuity) differentially predict variance in COVID-19 fear risk, science mistrust, vaccine positivity, vaccination likelihood. Data from an online survey 643 UK 485 Portuguese adults collected during March 2021 showed the did not differ significantly likelihood or resilience. respondents reported less fear, but higher positivity than Portuguese. continuity differed between countries their effects Science mistrust proved key factors predicting We conclude roles discrete health behaviour require further examination action reducing prevalence specific forms can improve

Uptake and hesitancy of the second booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine among the general population in China after the surge period of the COVID-19 pandemic: a large-scale national study

BMC Public Health, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 25(1)

Опубликована: Фев. 7, 2025

Although the second booster dose of COVID-19 vaccines is available, vaccine hesitancy among public may have peaked due to surge in infections caused by Omicron variant. To improve coverage dose, it crucial investigate prevalence general population during this period and explore reasons for phenomenon. A cross-sectional survey was conducted between January 5 February 9, 2023. Variables including sociodemographics, mental health, infection status, vaccination were collected. Univariate multivariate logistic regression analysis performed identify factors associated with population. Among 10,623 participants, uptake rate 4.3%. those who did not receive 43.6% expressed hesitancy. The highest observed participants had completed primary immunization (71.4%), followed chronic diseases (48.6%) aged 60 above (33.2%). higher females, high incomes, a history infection, depressive symptoms post-traumatic stress disorder, adverse events after vaccination. Conversely, lower students, above, from southern China, level perceived social support. remains prevalent China pandemic. Crucial steps, such as raising awareness benefits potential side effects regular vaccination, ensuring timely monitoring disclosure pandemic information, implementing targeted measures support should be taken. These efforts will instrumental reducing hesitancy, advancing campaigns, effectively preparing future outbreaks.

BMC Public Health, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 25(1)

Опубликована: Фев. 18, 2025

Abstract Background It is imperative to promote behavior/intention of taking up booster COVID-19 vaccination (BI-BV) among people who have ever contracted (PECC). The aims were investigate the prevalence BI-BV and its associations with perceived social support. Guided by stress coping theory, we tested mediators between support via self-stigma, active coping, maladaptive emotion regulation (rumination catastrophizing). Methods A random population-based telephone survey was conducted adult PECC having completed primary series prior diagnosis; 230 participants interviewed from June August 2022 during fifth (last) major outbreak in Hong Kong. independent variables logistic regression analysis. structural equation model (SEM) indirect effects latent variable BI-BV. Results 62.2%. associated age, marital status, full-time employment, chronic disease status. analysis found that positively (ORc = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.12– 1.54), 1.40, 1.10– 1.79), rumination 1.75, 1.13– 2.70), catastrophizing 3.12, 1.49– 6.51) negatively self-stigma 0.80, 0.72– 0.88). In SEM analysis, positive association fully mediated: 1) (β 0.07, 0.03– 0.14), 2) 0.06, 0.02– 0.12), 3) then 0.01, 0.002– 0.04). Two these paths involved coping. involving all non-significant. Conclusions Perceived BI-BV, mediated serially but not maladaptation. data supported cognitive explaining Interventions promoting may consider modifying observed significant factors. Future longitudinal studies are warranted confirm findings.
