“…Furthermore, the analysis also revealed that an individual’s resilience played an important role in the attitudes toward vaccination. The finding corroborates with previous studies which suggested resilience was associated with greater intent to receive COVID-19 vaccination ( Mo et al, 2022 ). Since resilience is an important element in positive psychology, it has the ability to foster well-being and positive behaviors ( Mo et al, 2022 ).…”

“…The finding corroborates with previous studies which suggested resilience was associated with greater intent to receive COVID-19 vaccination ( Mo et al, 2022 ). Since resilience is an important element in positive psychology, it has the ability to foster well-being and positive behaviors ( Mo et al, 2022 ). As a positive emotionality, resilience encourages individuals to put behind the limitations of negative thoughts and undertake more novel and innovative ways of thought and action ( Fredrickson and Joiner, 2002 ).…”

“…Individuals with higher resilience perceived COVID-19 as a lesser threat ( Razzak and Yousaf, 2022 ) and they are less likely to believe in conspiracy threats ( Miller, 2020 ). Consequently, a favorable attitude on COVID-19 vaccination can be viewed as a novel and positive coping strategy ( Mo et al, 2022 ).…”

Psychological impact of COVID-19: Assessing the COVID-19-related anxiety, individual’s resilience and conspiracy beliefs on attitudes to COVID-19 vaccination

It has been 2 years since the first outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, and continuous efforts and measures have been exerted and implemented to halt its spread, such as the introduction of vaccination programs. However, as with the consumption of other products and services, some people hold different beliefs, consequently affecting their attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination. Thus, vaccine unwillingness and hesitancy remain an enormous concern for many countries. This paper explores the effects of anxiety, individual resilience, and conspiracy beliefs on attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccines among the population of Malaysia—with a focus on Muslim individuals. We used survey data from 438 respondents (205 male, 233 female) to assess the research model. To conduct the multi-group analysis, we used partial least square structural equation modeling in SmartPLS 3. The results suggest that anxiety is positively associated with COVID-19 vaccination attitudes, whereas conspiracy beliefs have an inverse effect on vaccination attitudes, while an individual’s resilience is also positively associated with vaccination attitudes. Furthermore, it is found that the relationship between conspiracy beliefs and vaccination attitudes is weakened for an individual with a higher level of resilience. The findings also reveal the differences and similarities between males and females. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to simultaneously explore and demonstrate the effects of COVID-19-related anxiety, conspiracy beliefs and resilience with people’s attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccines and to examine the homogeneity of both males and females—especially among Malaysia’s Muslim population—thereby offering a valuable contribution to the literature.

“…First, univariate logistic regressions were performed to derive the crude odds ratio (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI), to present the potential risk of each variable of interest on resilience. Second, we included all the variables of interest into the model and conducted a backward stepwise multivariate model [ 6 ], to identify the most significant associated factors after adjusting confounding factors from each other. Data processing and all analyses were conducted using R version 4.1.2 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria).…”

“…An integrative review of studies on resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic, revealed that building resilience in HCWs can serve as a protective factor on distress experienced, anxiety and depression as well as against negative outcomes related to the job, including burnout [2][3][4][5]. Moreover, a higher resilience level was found to be associated with positive outcomes related to the job, including a higher intention to receive a COVID-19 vaccination, reinforcing posttraumatic growth, and lower burnout [6,7]. Resilience has also been demonstrated to act as a mediator for wellbeing and healthcare system performance [8,9].…”

Objectives: To examine the level of resilience among the frontline healthcare workers (HCWs) in four different Southeast Asian jurisdictions and identify the potential factors that may enhance healthcare workers resilience.Methods: An online cross-sectional survey was carried out among 3,048 eligible healthcare workers in Hong Kong, Nepal, Vietnam, and Taiwan from May 2021 to July 2022, and information on individual resilience, socio-demographic characteristics, organizational supports, and personal exposures were collected. A binary logistic regression model was used to identify the factors that were associated with a high resilience level.Results: The resilience score was the highest among healthcare workers of Vietnam, followed by Taiwan and Hong Kong, with Nepal scoring the lowest. Participants with old age, part-time work, higher education level, more satisfaction with workplace policy, better organizational supports, and fewer COVID-specific worries were associated with higher resilience. Healthcare workers who were satisfied with the overall organizational policy support had an OR of 1.48 (95% CI: 1.25–1.76) for a high resilience level.Conclusion: Implementing satisfying organizational policies and establishing supportive work environments for frontline healthcare workers can increase individual resilience and organizational stability.

Singapore has one of the highest COVID-19 vaccination rates, however identifying vaccine-hesitant sub-groups and their concerns is vital given the need for future boosters in vulnerable populations. Furthermore, vaccine hesitancy remains a concern in the event of an emergence of a newer strain that necessitates the rolling out of a new vaccination programme. The aims of this study were to establish the extent of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and the factors influencing it among adults in Singapore using the Vaccine Hesitancy Scale (VHS). The study used a longitudinal methodology and participants were recruited in two waves from May 2020 to Sep 2022. In all 858 participants agreed to participate in both waves of the study. The two-factor structure of the VHS scale as established in earlier studies was tested using confirmatory factor analysis. The results revealed a two-factor structure of VHS comprising “lack of confidence” and “risks”. Those who had higher stress, resilience, and concerns that they might be infected with COVID-19 at wave 1 were significantly associated with lower ‘lack of confidence’ scores i.e. lower vaccine hesitancy. In comparison, those with higher concerns about inadequate government preventive measures and unemployment at wave 1 were significantly associated with higher ‘lack of confidence’ scores. Those with higher concerns about inadequate government preventive measures in wave 1 were significantly associated with higher ‘risks’ scores i.e. higher vaccine hesitancy. The findings point toward the need for a nuanced messaging that considers the fears expressed by the populace and addresses them directly using clear simple language.
