Attitudes Towards Vaccines And Intention to Vaccinate Against Covid-19: A Statistical Analyze

Abstract

Present study aims to analyze the attitude towards Covid 19 vaccine in Kocaeli province and the factors that may cause this attitude. Data were applied to 248 people via an online survey. The survey consists of three parts: demographic data, data on vaccine attitude and level of knowledge about the vaccine. The association between the idea of being vaccinated and demographic variables were examined with Pearson chi-square analysis and a significant relationship was found only in terms of age and marital status variables. Pearson's correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between the vaccine attitude scores and the level of knowledge about the vaccine. It was concluded that the relationship between age and marital status with the idea of vaccination was statistically significant. (P<0,01) T-test was used to determine whether it differentiated according to chronic illness and it was determined that it did not. (P>0,05) One-way ANOVA was used for the relationship between fear level against Covid 19 and attitude towards a vaccine and it was observed that there was a significant difference. The effect of seeing social media and television as a source of information on the idea of vaccination was examined using Ordinal Logistics Regression according to the determined reference values and it was seen that there was a significant difference. Also, domestic vaccine positively affects the attitude towards a vaccine.
