Adapting expectations confirmation model (ECM) public health context a developing country, this study integrates ECM belief (HBM) theory reasoned action (TRA) examine inter-relationships predictors vaccinate COVID-19. Methodology Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires from 1,914 respondents aged 18 above by marketing consulting firm via its online panel. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique was used analyze data. Results Out respondents, 55.9% reported having COVID-19, similar other countries. multivariate analysis revealed that perceived usefulness satisfaction significantly influenced individuals’ Additionally, attitude found play key role influencing behavioral change among individuals towards perceptions continuously getting Conclusions By integrating three theoretical frameworks (i.e., HBM, TRA ECM), showed characteristics could provide insights intention.

Methods: Across 421 days between March 2020 2022, 273,722 Belgian participants (Mage = 49.47; 63.9% female; 33% single) completed an online questionnaire. Multiple linear mixed regression modeling was used examine interaction situation, as indicated actual hospitalization numbers, index predict day-to-day variation in variables interest. Results: Systematic evidence emerged showing that disproportional situations, opposed proportional were associated with a clear pattern maladaptive outcomes. Specifically, when either strict or lenient relation people reported lower autonomous motivation, more controlled amotivation, less adherence sanitary rules, higher perceived risk infection, need satisfaction, anxiety depressive symptoms. Perceived severity especially covaried measures. At absolute level, citizens highest satisfaction health during Conclusion: Stringent are not per se demotivating compromising people’s well-being, nor such motivating enhancing well-being.

Structural equation modeling with two-wave autoregressive cross-lagged model was used to investigate mediating effects mindfulness. Results significantly improved scores all psychological variables. The mediation partially confirmed, mindfulness at post-intervention (T2) relationship between baseline (T1) depression and anxiety life satisfaction. However, no significant indirect effect observed path from stress satisfaction (T2). Conclusion Mindfulness crucial component improving health outcomes.
