The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a significant impact on individuals' mental health. This study aimed to investigate how negative emotions toward the COVID-19 pandemic, including feeling anxious, depressed, upset, and stressed, were associated with COVID-19 vaccine acceptance in Sweden. The study is a cross-sectional online survey conducted between 21-28 May 2021, using three nested hierarchical logistic regression models to assess the association. The study included 965 unvaccinated individuals, 51.2% (n = 494) of whom reported their intention to get vaccinated. We observed graded positive associations between reported negative emotions and vaccine acceptance. Individuals who experienced economic stress had lower odds of vaccine acceptance while having a positive opinion of the government's response to COVID-19 was associated with higher odds of being vaccine-acceptant. In conclusion, unvaccinated individuals experiencing negative emotions about the pandemic were more willing to get the vaccine. On the contrary, those with a negative opinion about the government's response, and those that had experienced economic stress were less likely to accept the immunization.
2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行对个人心理健康产生了重大影响。本研究旨在调查瑞典民众对COVID-19大流行的负面情绪（包括焦虑、抑郁、心烦和压力）与COVID-19疫苗接种意愿之间的关联。该研究是一项横断面在线调查，于2021年5月21日至28日进行，使用三个嵌套的分层逻辑回归模型来评估这种关联。该研究纳入了965名未接种疫苗的个体，其中51.2%（n = 494）报告有接种疫苗的意愿。我们观察到报告的负面情绪与疫苗接种意愿之间存在分级正相关关系。经历经济压力的个体接种疫苗的可能性较低，而对政府应对COVID-19的措施持积极看法则与更高的疫苗接种可能性相关。总之，对大流行有负面情绪的未接种疫苗个体更愿意接种疫苗。相反，对政府应对措施持负面看法以及经历过经济压力的个体接受免疫接种的可能性较小。
