Abstract

Although it is known that vaccination is very crucial for controlling the spread of COVID-19, intentions of individuals to be vaccinated may vary considerably. Therefore, in this study, the aim was to examine the factors related with individuals’ intentions of COVID-19 vaccine. To assess the individuals’ intentions of COVID-19 vaccine, 525 individuals between 18-64 ages who had not yet received the COVID-19 vaccine participated in this study. The study was con-ducted using an online questionnaire method, consisting of measures of sociodemographic char-acteristics, variables related to exposure to COVID-19, risk group status for COVID-19, per-ceived knowledge on vaccines, health anxiety, and self-efficacy levels. Data were analyzed through hierarchical regression analysis. Sociodemographic variables, being in the risk group for COVID-19, and individuals' own or a close one’s previous diagnosis of COVID-19 were not associated with their intention to be vaccinated against COVID-19. On the other hand, results showed that individuals' intentions of COVID-19 vaccine were significantly related with in-creased perceived knowledge about COVID-19 vaccines, having experienced financial loss in the COVID-19 outbreak, and having high levels of health anxiety. Findings of the study may help to design vaccination campaigns in the society.

COVID-19 aşısı olma niyetini anlamak: Maddi kayıp yaşama, aşılar hakkında algılanan bilgi düzeyi ve sağlık kaygısının yordayıcı rolü

Abstract

COVID-19 salgınını kontrol altına almak için aşılamanın çok önemli olduğu bilinse de bireylerin aşı niyetleri büyük ölçüde değişkenlik gösterebilir. Bu nedenle bireylerin aşı niyeti ile ilgili olabilecek değişkenlerin belirlenmesi önemlidir. Bu çalışmada bireylerin COVID-19 aşısı olma niyeti ile ilgili değişkenlerin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu çalışmaya henüz COVID-19 aşısı olmamış, 18-64 yaş aralığındaki 525 birey katılmıştır. Çevrimiçi anket yöntemi kullanılarak katılımcıların sosyodemografik özellikleri, COVID-19’a maruz kalma düzeyleri, COVID-19 için risk grubunda olup olmadıkları, aşı hakkındaki algılanan bilgi düzeyi, sağlık kaygısı ve öz yeterlilik düzeyleri değerlendirilmiştir. Veriler hiyerarşik regresyon analizi yoluyla incelenmiştir. Sosyodemografik değişkenler, COVID-19 için risk grubunda olmaları ve kendilerinin ya da bir yakınlarının COVID-19 tanısı almış olmaları COVID-19 aşı olma niyetleri ile ilişkili bulunmamıştır. Öte yandan bulgular, bireylerin COVID-19 aşısı olma niyetlerinin COVID-19 aşısı hakkındaki bilgilerini daha fazla algılamaları, COVID-19 salgınında maddi kayıp yaşamış olmaları ve yüksek sağlık kaygısı düzeylerine sahip olmaları ile ilişkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Çalışma bulgularının toplumda aşılama kampanyalarının tasarlanmasında yardımcı olabileceği düşünülmektedir.
