Abstract

Introduction: The pandemic has caused an indisputable level of global suffering, with drastic changes in the daily lives of citizens.

Aim: To describe the sociodemographic characteristics and degree of resilience in a sample of COVID-19 vaccine acceptors versus a sample of vaccine refusers.

Method: A descriptive design was used. The sample comprised 793 women and 207 men (n = 1.000; age 18–79 [mean = 40.43]). The study variables were sociodemographic variables; work-related variables, such as working or not in a health centre; loss of loved ones in the health crisis; levels of resilience; and pro-vaccine beliefs. The instruments used were the Resilience Scale and a set of ad hoc questions created to obtain specific information on beliefs regarding the vaccine and sociodemographic factors.

Results: Individuals with low resilience (92%–98%) and those with high resilience (87%–92%) chose to be vaccinated two or more times. The distribution of variables with the highest frequency of vaccination was in participants over 50 years, with no difference between the genders. A higher vaccination rate has been observed in medium-sized cities (more than 90% who have decided to get vaccinated (two or more vaccines). The highest scores in the acceptance of vaccination are related to belief in the obligation of mass vaccination and working in a health centre (both workers with low and high resilience, more than 95% have received two or more vaccines).

Conclusions: Great sociodemographic variability was shown in the distribution of vaccines and the importance of analysing the cognitive variables involved in the acceptance of vaccines to increase the population’s adherence to vaccination campaigns. Beliefs regarding vaccination were seen as an indispensable element when considering raising the population’s awareness of vaccination. The global priority must be develop strategies that increase the credibility of health policies, with rigorous and scientific information to increase vaccination.

西班牙人群中COVID-19疫苗剂量的社会人口因素和恢复力
导言:这场大流行病给全球造成了无可争辩的痛苦,公民的日常生活发生了巨大变化。目的:描述COVID-19疫苗接种样本与疫苗拒绝样本的社会人口学特征和恢复程度。方法:采用描述性设计。样本包括793名女性和207名男性(n = 1.000;年龄18-79岁[平均= 40.43])。研究变量为社会人口学变量;与工作有关的变数,例如是否在保健中心工作;在健康危机中失去亲人;弹性水平;以及支持疫苗的信念。所使用的工具是复原力量表和一套特设问题,这些问题是为了获得关于疫苗和社会人口因素的信念的具体信息而设计的。结果:低弹性个体(92%-98%)和高弹性个体(87%-92%)选择接种两次或两次以上疫苗。疫苗接种频率最高的变量分布在50岁以上的参与者中,性别之间没有差异。中等城市的疫苗接种率较高(超过90%的人已决定接种疫苗(两种或两种以上)。在接受疫苗接种方面得分最高的是对大规模疫苗接种义务的信念和在保健中心工作的信念(包括适应能力低和适应能力高的工人,95%以上的人接种了两种或两种以上的疫苗)。结论:疫苗的分布显示出巨大的社会人口变异性,分析接受疫苗的认知变量对提高人口对疫苗接种运动的依从性的重要性。在考虑提高民众对疫苗接种的认识时,有关疫苗接种的信念被视为不可或缺的因素。全球的优先事项必须是制定战略,提高卫生政策的可信度,并提供严格和科学的信息,以增加疫苗接种。
