Vaccine acceptance and trust in vaccines pose a complex process affected by many factors. The present study was conducted to determine coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine acceptance, trust in vaccines, anxiety levels, and related factors in Turkish society.
The data of this cross-sectional and descriptive-correlational study were collected with the snowball method by using an online questionnaire throughout Turkey. The study was conducted between March 15 and April 3, 2021, with 3148 participants from 7 regions and 81 cities in Turkey.
It was found that the participants accepted the vaccine at 72.8%, and the trust rate in the vaccine was 66.0%. It was also found that women, single participants, those who had immune system diseases, and with COVID-19 had higher Coronavirus Anxiety Scale scores at significant levels. According to Logistic Regression Analysis, gender, age, trust in the vaccine, perception of risk levels regarding COVID-19, and coronavirus anxiety levels are factors affecting the intentions of participants to accept/reject the vaccine. It was determined that male participants were more likely to accept the coronavirus vaccine ( = 0.028). It was found that health-care employees had higher trust in the coronavirus vaccine ( = 0.006) and acceptance rates ( = 0.010) at significant levels compared with the general population.
The COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rate in Turkish society was found to be high, and the level of trust in vaccines and anxiety levels were above the moderate level.
疫苗的可接受性和对疫苗的信任是一个复杂的过程，受到许多因素的影响。本研究旨在确定土耳其社会中对 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）疫苗的接受程度、对疫苗的信任、焦虑水平以及相关因素。
本横断面描述性相关性研究的数据通过在土耳其各地使用在线问卷以滚雪球的方式收集。该研究于 2021 年 3 月 15 日至 4 月 3 日进行，共有来自土耳其 7 个地区和 81 个城市的 3148 名参与者。
发现参与者对疫苗的接受率为 72.8%，对疫苗的信任率为 66.0%。还发现，女性、单身参与者、患有免疫系统疾病的参与者以及患有 COVID-19 的参与者在冠状病毒焦虑量表上的得分更高，达到显著水平。根据逻辑回归分析，性别、年龄、对疫苗的信任、对 COVID-19 风险水平的感知以及冠状病毒焦虑水平是影响参与者接受/拒绝疫苗意愿的因素。确定男性参与者更有可能接受冠状病毒疫苗（ = 0.028）。与一般人群相比，卫生保健工作者对冠状病毒疫苗（ = 0.006）和接受率（ = 0.010）的信任度更高，达到显著水平。
发现土耳其社会对 COVID-19 疫苗的接受率较高，对疫苗的信任度和焦虑水平处于中等偏上水平。
