Abstract

Purpose: This study attempted to present a strategy to increase behavioral vaccination intention by identifying factors affecting parents’ intention to have their children vaccinated against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by applying the modified theory of planned behavior.Methods: An online survey was conducted with 146 parents of children aged 5 to 17 from August 1 to 30, 2022, and, as a result, 146 data were analyzed. The moderating effect of perceived behavioral control in the relationship between parents’ attitude, subjective norms, and behavioral intention for children’s COVID-19 vaccination was analyzed using the Process Macro (10,000 bootstrapping, 95% confidence interval), and a simple slope analysis was performed to identify differences by group.Results: The moderating effect of perceived behavioral control was statistically significant in the relationship between parent’s attitude and subjective norms for COVID-19 vaccination and behavioral intention. In the simple slope analysis, the reinforcement effect was greatest when the level of perceived behavioral control was high.Conclusion: Since vaccination is most likely when recommended by healthcare providers, it is necessary to ensure that health education through community health experts or mass media can be effectively conducted. In particular, objective information on the effectiveness and safety of COVID-19 vaccinations for children, including monitoring of potential side-effects, should be actively reported.
由改进的计划行为理论确定的父母为子女接种COVID-19疫苗的行为意图的预测因素
目的:本研究试图应用改进的计划行为理论,通过识别影响父母让孩子接种2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)疫苗意愿的因素,提出提高行为疫苗接种意愿的策略。方法:于2022年8月1日至30日对146名5 ~ 17岁儿童家长进行网络调查,对146份数据进行分析。采用过程宏(10,000自举,95%置信区间)分析感知行为控制在家长态度、主观规范和儿童新冠肺炎疫苗接种行为意向之间的调节作用,并采用简单斜率分析区分组间差异。结果:感知行为控制对家长防疫态度、主观规范与行为意向之间的调节作用有统计学意义。在简单斜率分析中,当感知行为控制水平高时,强化效应最大。结论:根据卫生保健提供者的建议,接种疫苗的可能性最大,因此有必要确保通过社区卫生专家或大众媒体进行有效的健康教育。特别是,应积极报告关于儿童COVID-19疫苗有效性和安全性的客观信息,包括对潜在副作用的监测。
