This study aimed to investigate COVID-19 vaccination intentions in Korean parents for their children aged 5 to 11 years and the factors influencing them.
A cross-sectional online survey of 363 parents of children aged 5 to 11 years was conducted in Korea in April 2022. Data were analyzed using independent t-test, χ²-test, Fisher's exact test, and hierarchical logistic regression analysis using SPSS/WIN 26.0 and MedCalc software version 20.113.
Of 363 Korean parents with children aged 5 to 11, 42.4% intended to vaccinate their children. Significant factors influencing vaccination intention were the second or third birth order of children (OR = 3.45, 95% CI = 1.458.21), vaccine hesitancy-confidence (OR = 2.00, 95% CI = 1.512.65), vaccine hesitancy-collective responsibility (OR = 1.57, 95% CI: 1.102.25), and COVID-19 anxiety-avoidance (OR = 1.55, 95% CI = 1.132.11).
Findings suggest that COVID-19 vaccine campaigns based on reliable information and evidence from health authorities are needed to increase COVID-19 vaccination. Well-designed health communications for the target population may help to increase parental vaccine acceptance.
本研究旨在调查韩国5至11岁儿童家长对新冠病毒疫苗接种的意愿及其影响因素。
2022年4月在韩国对363名5至11岁儿童的家长进行了横断面在线调查。使用SPSS/WIN 26.0和MedCalc软件版本20.113进行独立t检验、χ²检验、费舍尔精确检验和分层逻辑回归分析。
在363名有5至11岁儿童的韩国家长中，42.4%的家长打算为孩子接种疫苗。影响接种意愿的显著因素包括孩子的出生顺序为第二或第三（比值比=3.45，95%置信区间=1.458.21）、疫苗犹豫-信心（比值比=2.00，95%置信区间=1.512.65）、疫苗犹豫-集体责任（比值比=1.57，95%置信区间：1.102.25）以及新冠病毒焦虑-回避（比值比=1.55，95%置信区间=1.132.11）。
研究结果表明，需要开展基于卫生当局可靠信息和证据的新冠病毒疫苗接种活动，以提高新冠病毒疫苗接种率。针对目标人群精心设计的健康传播可能有助于提高家长对疫苗的接受度。
