BACKGROUND
The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of antecedent variables on older adults' intention to get a CORONAVIRUS DISEASE-2019 vaccine. Older adults are at higher risk of severe illness from the disease and face an increasingly ageist general population who misrepresent the pandemic as an older adult problem. We use the Theory of Planned Behavior framework to examine vaccine behavior intention.
METHOD
A convenience sample ( = 583) of adults aged 60 and older in the United States participated in an online survey using vignettes. Hierarchical regression and analysis of covariance were used to test our model.
RESULTS
Results suggest that perceived risk of the pandemic, general vaccine beliefs, and political affiliation influence respondents' attitude toward the vaccine. Respondents' attitudes toward the vaccine and their physician's recommendation help shape vaccine intention.
CONCLUSION
The results provide partial support to the proposed model in shaping vaccine intention among older adults.
背景
本研究旨在探讨前因变量对老年人接种 COVID-19 疫苗意愿的影响。老年人感染该疾病后更易出现重症，且他们正面临着日益增多的、对疫情存在年龄歧视的人群，这些人将疫情描述为老年人的问题。我们使用计划行为理论框架来检验疫苗接种行为意向。
方法
本研究在美国采用便利抽样法，选取了 583 名 60 岁及以上的成年人参与在线调查，使用情景模拟的方法。本研究采用层次回归和协方差分析来检验我们的模型。
结果
结果表明，人们对大流行的感知风险、一般疫苗信念和政治派别影响着受访者对疫苗的态度。受访者对疫苗的态度及其医生的建议有助于塑造疫苗接种的意向。
结论
研究结果为在塑造老年人疫苗接种意愿方面提出的模型提供了部分支持。
