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.

This study examines the factors influencing behavioral intention and compliance behavior of Transportation Network Vehicle Service (TNVS) drivers during COVID-19 pandemic. Grounded in Theory Planned Behavior (TPB) Health Belief Model (HBM), integrates psychological, environmental, organizational to explain TNVS drivers’ adherence safety protocols. Data were collected from 342 National Capital Region (NCR) CALABARZON through a structured survey. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed analyze relationships among variables assess determinants behavior. The results indicate that attitude toward (β = 0.453, p < 0.001), risk perception 0.289, availability personal protective equipment (PPE) 0.341, passenger 0.293, 0.002), company policies 0.336, support systems 0.433, 0.001) significantly influence intention. In turn, strongly predicts 0.643, confirming its mediating role linking actual adherence. However, stress fatigue 0.131, 0.211), ride conditions 0.198, 0.241), communication training 0.211, 0.058) showed non-significant relationships, suggesting their direct effects on are limited. model explains 69.1% variance behavior, demonstrating robustness. These findings highlight importance fostering positive attitudes, ensuring adequate resource availability, reinforcing improve with measures. Practical recommendations include implementing educational campaigns, PPE access, strengthening policies, promoting contributes broader understanding health ride-hailing sector, offering actionable insights for policymakers, platforms, public authorities. Future research should explore additional contextual factors, gender-based differences, regional variations, as well long-term behaviors beyond pandemic context.

Having a careful review studies based on this theory could guide future research behaviors. Objectives: With scoping review: describe characteristics guided by Behavior, summarize support for the relationships proposed, explanatory variables behaviors, examine propositions in theory. Method: Searching 5 electronic databases, we sought that were: full-text, peer-reviewed, English, data-based, theory, published from January 1, 1992, 2022. Results: Across 18 identified articles, behaviors studied included: symptomatic screening (n = 8), asymptomatic 7), either or symptoms 3). total 3328 adults participated studies. In 16 studies, all participants were female. 60% 83% researchers had reported findings supported concepts behavior. Among 7 tested 2 tests failed proposition factors influence indirectly through variables. Six conditionally, conditions. Conclusions: Relationships these supported, as 1 propositions.

Within the USA, uptake of updated COVID-19 vaccines is suboptimal despite health authority recommendations. This study used qualitative methods to examine factors influencing vaccine decision making and effects anxiety depression on these decisions within CHASING COVID Cohort (C3). Between October December 2023, we conducted 25 interviews with participants from 16 different US states, 14 whom endorsed recent symptoms and/or depression. Using grounded theory methodology for coding thematic analysis, categorized into "One-Shot Wonders" "Booster Enthusiasts". Our findings indicate that vaccination environment has shifted active promotion a notable absence discussions, leading reduced worry about infection severe illness, diminished perception benefits personal community levels, fewer cues action. Initially influential like family, experiences, physician recommendations lost impact over time. Although relationship between was not prominent, one case highlighted direct relationship.

Introduction During the communicable coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, organizational infection control measures (oICMs) were introduced in workplace. The employees’ positive attitudes and active participation are relevant for full effectiveness regarding prevention. Therefore, we explore changes toward oICM at work from August–October 2020 (T0) over January 2021 (T1) to October–November (T2). We further investigate role an organization can play supporting health-related preventive behavior. Methods considered repeated cross-sectional longitudinal panel survey data 5,554 employees of a global supplier technology services Germany. A total 16 items constitute attitude scores (5-point Likert scale). Via mixed-effect model, aspects associated with explored. ‘extreme-group’ approach, compared 20% participants largest into less favorable more time. Results overall work-related T1 (mean ± SD: 4.2 0.6, median (IQR): 4.3 (0.8), n = 2,515) T0 (4.1 4.1 2,417) but T2 (3.9 0.7, 4.0 (0.9), 2,062). Among others, feeling well-informed about possible risks severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2), perceived psychosocial demands through environment aspects, management’s commitment safety health long-term oICM. Individuals developing reported SARS-CoV-2 improved COVID-19-specific resilience decreased perceptions COVID-19-associated risks. Conclusion oICMs workplace appropriate even after COVID-19 vaccines widely available although affective decreased. Taken together, our findings highlight how organizations support adopting found that was positively expect results contribute development interventions prepare adapt future public concerns.
