摘要

背景:在全球面临 COVID-19 疫苗分配挑战的情况下,宗教是决定疫苗接种犹豫和健康选择的关键因素。值得注意的是,非洲和亚太地区多层面的宗教环境在这方面的研究仍然不足:本横断面研究利用 2021 年至 2022 年期间进行的两次调查的数据,调查了宗教信仰对非洲和亚太地区宗教与疫苗兼容性的看法以及 COVID-19 疫苗接受度的影响。研究采用了逻辑回归模型,并加入了社会经济因素之间的交互项,以考虑不同亚人群之间的差异:结果:在确定的八个宗教团体中,亚太地区的无神论者和佛教徒的认同度最低,只有不到 60% 的人承认疫苗的宗教兼容性。然而,与非洲相比,亚太地区接受疫苗的意愿始终高出至少四个百分点,在第二轮调查中,差距进一步扩大。教育对疫苗认知的影响因宗教群体而异,而承认疫苗与宗教的兼容性则对疫苗的接受度有积极的促进作用。地区、宗教和其他社会人口因素之间的关系随着时间的推移发生了很大变化。除无神论者和穆斯林外,其他群体在第二波调查中都表现出更高的疫苗认可倾向:我们的研究揭示了疫苗态度与宗教之间复杂的、取决于环境的联系,以及时间和教育对不同宗教信仰的不同影响。了解这些时空变化的根本原因有助于为解决疫苗犹豫、促进疫苗接种和改善每个宗教团体的福祉提供有针对性的方法。

Comparing role of religion in perception of the COVID-19 vaccines in Africa and Asia Pacific

Comparing role of religion in perception of the COVID-19 vaccines in Africa and Asia Pacific
In the midst of the global COVID-19 vaccine distribution challenge, religion stands out as a key determinant of vaccine hesitancy and health choices. Notably, the multifaceted religious environments of Africa and the Asia Pacific remain under-researched in this context. Utilizing data from two survey waves conducted between 2021 and 2022, this cross-sectional study investigated the effects of religious beliefs on perceptions of compatibility between religion and vaccines and COVID-19 vaccine acceptance in Africa and Asia Pacific. Logistic regression models were employed, with interaction terms between socio-economic factors incorporated to account for variations among diverse subpopulations. Among the eight religious groups identified, Atheists and Buddhists in the Asia Pacific exhibit the lowest agreement, with fewer than 60% acknowledging the religious compatibility of vaccines. Willingness to accept vaccines, however, is consistently higher in Asia Pacific by at least four percentage points compared to Africa, with the disparity widening further in the second wave. Impacts of education on vaccine perceptions vary across religious groups, while acknowledging vaccine compatibility with religion positively contributed to vaccine acceptance. Dynamics between region, religion, and other socio-demographic factors have changed substantially over time. All but Atheists and Muslims exhibit a higher propensity to endorse vaccines during Survey Wave 2. Our study reveals complex, context-dependent connections between vaccine attitudes and religion and the heterogeneous effects of time and education among different religious affiliations. Understanding the underlying drivers of these temporal variations helps inform tailored approaches aimed at addressing vaccine hesitancy, promoting vaccine uptake, and improving the well-being of each religious group. This study examined the effects of religious beliefs on thoughts about agreement between religion and vaccines, and COVID-19 vaccine acceptance in Africa and Asia Pacific. Data came from surveys of individuals across many regions during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 and 2022. We found lower agreement to compatibility between vaccine and religious belief among Atheists and Buddhists in the Asia Pacific, while Africans were generally less likely to accept the COVID-19 vaccines. In addition, education influenced vaccine views differently across religious groups, and those who felt vaccination was compatible with their religion were more likely to accept a vaccine. These findings show we should monitor vaccine confidence and tailor efforts to reduce vaccine hesitancy among different subgroups of people. Jin et al. explore the role of religion in perception of COVID-19 vaccination across Africa and Asia Pacific regions. They highlight important similarities and differences that may help inform future public health interventions around preventative medicine.
