摘要
目的:评估初出期成人的医疗保健决策及其影响,探讨健康信息获取、知识和沟通。参与者:687名参与者于2023年9月和10月在中西部一所大型大学提供的两个免费校园疫苗诊所招募(年龄范围= 18-25岁,61.1%为女性)。方法:参与者完成在线调查。对感兴趣的变量计算频率和百分比。性别差异比较采用卡方检验和t检验。结果:大多数参与者(n = 592, 86.2%)可以访问他们的疫苗记录。然而,男性(30.7%)比女性(23.4%)报告难以访问他们的记录(p = 0.037)。大多数参与者(65.1%)告知父母接种疫苗的情况。告诉朋友的女性(81.8%)多于男性(66.9%)(p p = 0.046)。结论:研究结果强调了社会影响、无成本诊所和针对性别的干预措施,以改善医疗保健的可及性和结果。
Navigating health information: Factors influencing vaccine decision-making and health information access in emerging adults at a no-cost vaccine clinic.
Objective: To assess healthcare decision-making and influences among emerging adults and explore health information access, knowledge, and communication.
Participants: 687 participants were recruited at two no-cost on-campus vaccine clinics offered at a large Midwestern university in September and October 2023 (Age Range = 18-25, 61.1% women).
Methods: Participants completed an online survey. Frequencies and percentages were calculated for the variables of interest. Differences by gender were compared using chi-square and t-tests.
Results: Most participants (n = 592, 86.2%) had access to their vaccine records. However, a higher percentage of men (30.7%) than women (23.4%) reported difficulty accessing their records (p = 0.037). The majority of participants (65.1%) informed their parents about their vaccination. More women (81.8%) than men (66.9%) informed a friend (p < 0.001), while more men (23.0%) than women (15.1%) did not inform anyone (p = 0.046).
Conclusions: Findings highlight social influences, no-cost clinics, and gender-targeted interventions to improve healthcare access and outcomes.
