Abstract

The present study evaluated the predictive capacity of fear of Monkeypox (MPX) on the intention to be vaccinated against MPX and the influence of conspiracy beliefs as a mediating variable in this relationship in 516 Peruvian sample with an average age of 27.10 years participated. Monkeypox Fear Scale, MPX Conspiracy Beliefs Scale and a single item of intention to be vaccinated against MPX were used. Statistical analyses have included estimation of descriptive statistics for all variables in the model tested and Structural Equation Modeling to predict intention to be vaccinated against monkeypox. It has been found that fear has a positive impact on conspiracy beliefs about MPX and intention to be vaccinated against MPX. Finally, conspiracy beliefs are negatively related to intention to be vaccinated. As for indirect effects, both are statistically significant. The model explains 11.4% of the variance in beliefs and 19.1% in intention to be vaccinated. It is concluded that fear of MPX played an important role, both directly and indirectly, in the intention to be vaccinated against MPX, having conspiratorial beliefs about MPX as a mediating variable. The results have important implications for public health practices aimed at combating doubts about MPX vaccination.

秘鲁样本中对猴痘的恐惧与接种猴痘疫苗意图之间的关系关于猴痘的阴谋论的中介作用。
本研究在516名平均年龄27.10岁的秘鲁样本中评估了对猴痘(MPX)的恐惧对接种MPX疫苗意愿的预测能力,以及阴谋信念作为这种关系的中介变量的影响。使用猴痘恐惧量表、MPX阴谋信念量表和一项接种MPX疫苗的意向。统计分析包括对测试模型中所有变量的描述性统计数据的估计,以及预测接种猴痘疫苗意向的结构方程建模。研究发现,恐惧对MPX的阴谋信念和接种MPX疫苗的意图有积极影响。最后,阴谋信念与接种疫苗的意愿呈负相关。至于间接影响,两者都具有统计学意义。该模型解释了11.4%的信念差异和19.1%的接种意愿差异。结论是,对MPX的恐惧在接种MPX疫苗的意图中直接和间接发挥了重要作用,将MPX作为中介变量的阴谋信念。研究结果对旨在消除对MPX疫苗接种的怀疑的公共卫生实践具有重要意义。
