Abstract

Along with the consistent increase in the COVID-19 vaccination rate, the Indonesian government continues to strive to control the pandemic with various policy programmes. On the other hand, the vaccination programme has also been expanded to 6-11 years school children to foster the implementation of school reopening despite many debates and controversies circulated in the country. Identifying parental health beliefs toward vaccination, this study aims to examine factors influencing parental intention to vaccinate their children. An online survey was conducted to attain responses from 400 study participants from 9 selected provinces. The data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques on the SPSS version 26. This study revealed that vaccination acceptance is high among parents in Indonesia. Parents’ intention to vaccinate their children was significantly influenced by health beliefs. The multiple regression analysis suggested perceived susceptibility (β = .146, p = .012), perceived benefits (β = .249, p = .000) and cues to action (β = .220, p = .000) as significant predictors which positively influenced the vaccination intention, while the perceived barrier (β = -.316, p = .000) was identified as a negative predictor of the dependent variable in the model. There was a significant mean difference in parental intention within gender, age group, and household income. The findings of this study emphasised the need to provide a more strategic health messaging and health education programme to address the issues surrounding the barriers to implementing vaccination for children in Indonesia. Keywords: COVID-19, vaccine acceptance, health belief model, school children, Indonesia.
与印度尼西亚小学学龄儿童接种疫苗意愿相关的因素
随着COVID-19疫苗接种率的持续提高,印度尼西亚政府继续努力通过各种政策规划控制大流行。另一方面,疫苗接种方案也已扩大到6-11岁的学龄儿童,以促进学校重新开学的实施,尽管国内流传着许多辩论和争议。本研究旨在探讨影响父母为子女接种疫苗意愿的因素,以确定父母对疫苗接种的健康信念。一项在线调查获得了来自9个选定省份的400名研究参与者的反馈。使用SPSS 26版的描述性和推理统计技术对数据进行分析。这项研究表明,印度尼西亚父母对疫苗接种的接受程度很高。父母给孩子接种疫苗的意愿受到健康信念的显著影响。多元回归分析显示,感知易感性(β = .146, p = .012)、感知获益(β = .249, p = .000)和行动提示(β = .220, p = .000)是正向影响疫苗接种意愿的显著预测因子,而感知障碍(β = -。316, p = .000)被认为是模型中因变量的负预测因子。父母意向在性别、年龄、家庭收入上有显著的平均差异。这项研究的结果强调需要提供更具战略性的卫生信息和卫生教育方案,以解决围绕印度尼西亚儿童实施疫苗接种的障碍的问题。关键词:COVID-19,疫苗接受,健康信念模型,学龄儿童,印度尼西亚
