“…Moreover, COVID-19 conspiracy was a consistent predictor in all models: the higher the conspiracy score, the lower the probability that women were vaccinated and their WTV now or if not pregnant/breastfeeding. This is not surprising, as conspiracy mentality has been repeatedly associated with vaccine hesitancy in general [30,31] in the COVID-19 context [32,33] and also during pregnancy [34].…”

The present study examined the role of the perception of risks and benefits for the mother and her babies in deciding about the COVID-19 vaccination. In this cross-sectional study, five hypotheses were tested using data from a convenience sample of Italian pregnant and/or breastfeeding women (N = 1104, July–September 2021). A logistic regression model estimated the influence of the predictors on the reported behavior, and a beta regression model was used to evaluate which factors influenced the willingness to become vaccinated among unvaccinated women. The COVID-19 vaccination overall risks/benefits tradeoff was highly predictive of both behavior and intention. Ceteris paribus, an increase in the perception of risks for the baby weighed more against vaccination than a similar increase in the perception of risks for the mother. Additionally, pregnant women resulted in being less likely (or willing) to be vaccinated in their status than breastfeeding women, but they were equally accepting of vaccination if they were not pregnant. COVID-19 risk perception predicted intention to become vaccinated, but not behavior. In conclusion, the overall risks/benefits tradeoff is key in predicting vaccination behavior and intention, but the concerns for the baby weigh more than those for the mother in the decision, shedding light on this previously neglected aspect.

“…Another factor that may have played a role amongst vaccine hesitant mothers is an increase in salutogenic parenting which places greater emphasis on the promotion of healthy living, wellness, and natural immunity over the use of traditional Western medicine and pharmaceuticals, for example, extended breastfeeding, lowering exposure to chemicals or toxins (e.g. thimerosal, erythromycin eye ointment, and vitamin K), and avoiding overly stressing the immune system early in life by altering vaccine schedules [24] .…”

“…This discussion paper utilizes data obtained from a research project conducted between 2021 and 2022 to explore the influences on decision-making in vaccine hesitancy in parents and pregnant women (Smith et al, 2022b(Smith et al, , 2023a(Smith et al, , 2023b. This body of research included three components that used a combination of ethnography and netnography as methodology (Smith et al, 2022a(Smith et al, , 2022b(Smith et al, , 2023a(Smith et al, , 2023b. The studies included a predominantly online survey via Qualtrics XM with participants recruited via social media, specifically Facebook, a series of semi-structured interviews with 12 vaccine-hesitant parents and pregnant women and a netnographic study of online discourses on the purpose-designed Facebook page (Smith et al, 2022a(Smith et al, , 2022b(Smith et al, , 2023a(Smith et al, , 2023b.…”

AimThe aim of this paper is to critically reflect on our team's experience of using netnography to explore vaccine‐hesitant parents and pregnant women, a group who have traditionally been difficult to recruit to research studies and a methodology that is underutilized in nursing research.DesignThis paper takes the form of a discussion paper that will utilize data obtained from a qualitative netnographic study. Relevant literature was searched including 2015–2023.MethodThis paper utilized data obtained from a qualitative study that used netnography as methodology and an online minable data source. Netnography is a relatively new methodology that uses the online environment to explore digital cultures and study networked society. It pays particular attention to cultural insights and conditions that impact the human experience. This methodology is particularly relevant to nursing research which is often humanistic and always conducted to ensure optimal patient outcomes.ResultsUsing netnography for the first time has resulted in four main insights. These include the adaptability of the process; the creativity involved in designing the site; the ready acceptance of the site by participants and the co‐creation knowledge that resulted.ConclusionsNetnography is a creative methodology that was successful in accessing and engaging the vaccine‐hesitant community, a group who are often marginalized. Netnography has the advantage of using a platform that is familiar and safe for many people and provides access to an extensive minable data source.
