Neglecting to adequately address this issue could potentially worsen pre-existing challenges within health systems and in the management of migration. In the present study, we aim to evaluate the health perceptions, traditional health practices and use of health services of Afghan immigrants. We enrolled 1597 Afghan immigrants over 18 years old in the descriptive cross-sectional research. The mean age of the immigrants was 49.19 ± 1.6 years. The smallest number of points that can be achieved on the health perception scale is 15, while the greatest number is 75. We found that the health perception scale average score is 37.61 ± 7.32. Some factors, such as age 65 and over, female gender, postgraduate education level, good social insurance and economic status, being a public officer, not having any infectious diseases, and having a good Turkish level, have positively affected the health perception levels (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Moreover, we observed that cultural differences, expensive health care, a lack of social insurance, fear and anxiety, lack of language skills, waiting times and traditional health practices were the most common barriers to accessing healthcare services. Considering these issues in the health system, identifying the factors that negatively affect the perception of health and related to the use of health services can help immigrants increase their use of health services and improve their health.</p>","PeriodicalId":46805,"journal":{"name":"Global Health Promotion","volume":" ","pages":"29-38"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141187006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted a cross-sectional, online survey across Russia at the end of 2021, during a time with increasing new cases of COVID-19. We used the Health Belief Model to test which of the constructs were associated with vaccine acceptance and controlled for demographic variables in the multivariate logistic regression analysis among our analytic sample of 550 respondents. About one-fifth (18.5%) of our study respondents reported vaccine hesitancy. Our multivariate analysis showed that perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, self-efficacy, and friends and family supporting vaccination (cue to action) all contributed to the likelihood of whether or not an individual was accepting of the COVID-19 vaccine. Analysis of our open-ended questions showed that individuals also considered the following factors in making decisions to vaccinate for COVID-19: policy restrictions, less worry, social responsibility, lack of trust, conspiracy theories, concerns about side effects and contraindications. Our results demonstrated the Health Belief Model to be a useful framework for understanding COVID-19 vaccine acceptance in Russia.

However, scrutiny of their mediating and moderating roles could provide insights pertinent to the design of effective HIV and AIDS preventative programmes. This study examined whether perceived behavioural control (PBC) and IUC interact with exposure to HIV and AIDS information (EI), ease of access to condoms (EAC) and level of related knowledge (KN) in determining CCU. It also investigated whether PBC and IUC predict CCU through increasing EI, EAC, and KN. A quantitative approach was adopted and data were collected from 607 participants, aged at least 18, living in Gauteng Province, South Africa. The questionnaire administered included pre-existing items, validated through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis procedures. Regression analyses of the data for mediation and moderation testing were performed using PROCESS macro software for SPSS. The results indicated that none of the SMBEs mediated the non-significant PBC-CCU relationship: <i>B</i> = -0.0258, SE = 0.0199, <i>p</i> = 0.195. Nor did they mediate the significant IUC-CCU relationship: <i>B</i> = 0.0395, SE = 0.0195, <i>p</i> = 0.043. Similarly, none of the SMBEs were found to moderate the PBC-CCU relationship (EI*PBC: <i>B</i> = 0.0034, SE = 0.0056, <i>p</i> = 0.540; KN*PBC: <i>B</i> = -0.0006, SE = 0.0064, <i>p</i> = 0.931; EAC*PBC: <i>B</i> = 0.0011, SE = 0.0059, <i>p</i> = 0.854) as IUC-CCU relationship (EI*IUC: <i>B</i> = 0.0036, SE = 0.0054, <i>p</i> = 0.513; KN*IUC: <i>B</i> = -0.0096, SE = 0.0060, <i>p</i> = 0.111; EAC*IUC: <i>B</i> = 0.0044, SE = 0.0061, <i>p</i> = 0.469).
