The role of anticipated regret and health beliefs in HPV vaccination intentions among young adults

Abstract: Although cognitions have predicted young adults’ human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine decision-making, emotion-based theories of healthcare decision-making suggest that anticipatory emotions may be more predictive. This study examined whether anticipated regret was associated with young adults’ intentions to receive the HPV vaccine above and beyond the effects of commonly studied cognitions. Unvaccinated undergraduates (N = 233) completed a survey assessing Health Belief Model (HBM) variables (i.e., perceived se… Show more

“…Anticipated emotions are an affective forecast about how would one feel in the future if certain events occur (eg, anticipating I would feel fear if I receive an abnormal result) . Research in cancer has mostly focused on anticipated emotions . Including anticipatory emotions is important, as they constitute independent predictors of health behaviors/intentions .…”

“…Research to date has also investigated a limited range of cognitive and affective factors associated with HPV vaccination behaviours. From a cognitive perspective, knowledge about (Perez, Cruess, & Strauss, 2016;Vermandere et al, 2014), belief in the efficacy and safety of the HPV vaccine (Chan, Chan, Ng, & Wong, 2012;Fernández et al, 2014;Hutson, Dorgan, Duvall, & Garrett, 2011;Manhart et al, 2011;Marchand, Glenn, & Bastani, 2012;Taylor et al, 2012), greater perceived severity of HPV (Kahn et al, 2008), greater perceived social acceptability of receiving the vaccine (Jowkowski & Geshnizjani, 2016;Kahn et al, 2008), and greater anticipated regret if one was unvaccinated and later contracted HPV (Christy et al, 2016;McRee, Katz, Paskett, & Reiter, 2014) are associated with increased intentions and uptake. From an affective perspective, worry about developing cervical cancer (Krakow et al, 2015) is also associated with increased acceptance and uptake.…”

“…In addition, it has been shown that anticipated regret plays a more important role than risk perception [47]. For example, Christy et al [48] found among unvaccinated undergraduate men, that anticipatory emotions (i.e. anticipated regret) played a more central role in decision-making regarding HPV vaccination than cognition related to vaccination.…”

“…This approach of integrating attitudes to vaccination, regret, anticipated regret, coping strategies and altruism can perhaps be applied to examine vaccination programs less consensual than routine childhood vaccination. For example, HPV vaccination among adolescents [48] or flu vaccination [44]. …”
