“…Perceived barriers and perceived benefits were the most common determinants that were significantly associated with vaccine hesitancy. Perceived benefits was inversely associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in twelve studies [6,[11][12][13][15][16][17][18]20,22,23]. A positive association between perceived barriers and vaccine hesitancy was reported by twelve studies [6,[11][12][13][15][16][17][18][19][20]22,24].…”

“…A positive association between perceived barriers and vaccine hesitancy was reported by twelve studies [6,[11][12][13][15][16][17][18][19][20]22,24]. Perceived susceptibility was negatively correlated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in eight studies [10,12,14,[16][17][18]20,23]; however, Chen et al [11] reported a positive correlation between perceived susceptibility and vaccine hesitancy. This means the participants were more likely to be vaccine-hesitant if they had a high perceived susceptibility to COVID-19.…”

“…Other HBM components that are inversely related were cues to action in nine studies [6,10,11,16,17,19,21,22,24], perceived severity in six studies [14,16,17,19,23,24], and selfefficacy in one study [11]. Griva et al [13] and Guillon and Kergall [6] found a negative effect of perceived threat (i.e., a combined measure of perceived susceptibility and severity) on vaccine hesitancy.…”

“…The most common HBM modifying factor that was directly associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy was gender in eight studies. The studies found that women were more likely to be COVID-19 vaccine-hesitant compared to men [6,[10][11][12][13]20,21,23]. However, parental vaccine hesitancy for children vaccination was higher for males (father) [13].…”

“…COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy was found to be influenced by age, but the results are inconsistent. For example, younger people, especially those under 30 years were more vaccine-hesitant [22,23]. Likewise, Du et al [12] found that individuals who were below 45 years were more likely to hesitate in receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.…”

The Health Belief Model Applied to COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy: A Systematic Review

This study systematically analyzes the research that used the Health Belief Model (HBM) as a theoretical basis to examine the influence of HBM constructs on COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. Following PRISMA guidelines, PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Scopus were searched for quantitative studies. Sixteen studies with 30,242 participants met inclusion criteria. The prevalence of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy was 33.23% (95% CI 24.71–41.39%). Perceived barriers and perceived benefits were the most common HBM constructs that were significantly associated with vaccine hesitancy. While perceived benefits was inversely associated, a positive association was found between perceived barriers and vaccine hesitancy. Other HBM constructs that were frequently examined and inversely associated were perceived susceptibility, cues to action, perceived severity, and self-efficacy. The most common HBM modifying factor that was directly associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy was gender, followed by education, age, geographical locations, occupation, income, employment, marital status, race, and ethnicity; however, a few studies report inconsistent results. Other modifying variables that influenced vaccine hesitancy were knowledge of COVID-19, prior diagnosis of COVID-19, history of flu vaccination, religion, nationality, and political affiliation. The results show that HBM is useful in predicting COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy.

Despite widely recognised effectiveness against the spread of COVID‐19, vaccine hesitancy persists. This systematic literature review aimed to clarify the definition and the operationalisation of the term ‘vaccine hesitancy’ and disclose the various psychosocial factors underlying this phenomenon. The results of studies conducted in European countries and in the United States after the vaccines became available were taken into account.The review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta‐Analyses statement. Twelve studies met the inclusion criteria and were reviewed.efinitions and measures of vaccine hesitancy differed across the studies, limiting their comparison. Nonetheless, by drawing on theoretical frameworks, we were able to identify several psychosocial variables in determining vaccine hesitancy.Our findings point to the need for a transdisciplinary approach to understanding the antecedents of vaccine hesitancy. A better understanding of the phenomenon may help to develop interventions and social policies to address a complex challenge such as vaccination hesitancy.
