Abstract

The research investigates the antecedents of immunisation intentions during the COVID-19 pandemic, including information-related factors (conspiracy beliefs, immunisation knowledge and health communication perception) and confidence-related factors (trust in healthcare institutions and vaccine risk perception). Data were collected online from two samples of Italian (N = 324) and Serbian (N = 486) participants. Path analyses confirmed a mediation mechanism: trust in health institutions and vaccine risk perception mediate the relationship between information-related factors and vaccination intentions, both towards COVID-19 and other diseases, with a few exceptions and differences between the samples. Findings show a glimpse into the inner psychological mechanisms of vaccination intentions. During times of crisis, such as pandemics, compliance toward vaccination can be fostered through the quality of information and the promotion of citizens' trust towards health institutions and vaccines.

通过信任度考察信息相关因素对疫苗接种意愿的影响：从 COVID-19 大流行期间意大利和塞尔维亚成人样本中获得的启示

研究调查了 COVID-19 大流行期间免疫接种意愿的前因，包括信息相关因素（阴谋信念、免疫接种知识和健康传播认知）和信心相关因素（对医疗机构的信任和疫苗风险认知）。数据是从意大利（324 人）和塞尔维亚（486 人）的两个参与者样本中在线收集的。路径分析证实了一种中介机制：对医疗机构的信任和疫苗风险认知对信息相关因素和疫苗接种意愿之间的关系起中介作用，包括对 COVID-19 和其他疾病的接种意愿，但也有一些例外情况和样本之间的差异。研究结果显示了疫苗接种意愿的内在心理机制。在大流行病等危机时期，可以通过提高信息质量、增强公民对医疗机构和疫苗的信任来促进疫苗接种的依从性。
