“…The presence of PTSD can affect the intention toward vaccination. Mothers with PTDS displayed less intention toward COVID-19 vaccination, which was medicated by greater institutional distrust and less benevolent view of the world (24). The aforementioned association between MGFA classification and vaccination hesitancy cannot be entirely explained by accompanying PTSD; however, patients who had experienced a severe form of MG may more frequently have coexisting mental conditions, such as PTSD, depression, or anxiety, which can lower their vaccination willingness.…”

ObjectiveTo investigate the intention of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination in Korean patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) and to determine the factors that influence their attitude toward COVID-19 vaccination.Materials and methodsWe conducted a questionnaire survey of 160 Korean patients with MG. The questionnaire consisted of five categories, including vaccination status, willingness to get vaccinated, general concerns over vaccination, impact of MG diagnosis on vaccination decision, and MG-specific concerns over vaccination. The responses were rated from 1 (no intention or influence) to 5 (significant intention or influence). We compared the clinical factors between patients willing to get vaccinated (willing group) and those who were neutral or unwilling (hesitant group).ResultsThe average score of willingness to get vaccinated was 4.1 ± 1.2 (Likert score, 1–5). The hesitant group demonstrated higher proportions of women, patients with MG Foundation of America (MGFA) classification ≥III at nadir, and those who had experienced myasthenic crisis than the willing group (women, p = 0.027; MGFA classification≥III, p = 0.018; myasthenic crisis, p = 0.027). Scores for the willingness to get vaccinated (Likert score, 1–5) were negatively correlated with the MGFA classification at nadir (r = −0.235, p = 0.003), degree of general concern about vaccination (r = −0.362, p < 0.001), and impact of MG diagnosis on vaccination decision (r = −0.365, p < 0.001). In the path analysis, the MGFA classification at nadir was negatively associated with the willingness to get vaccinated by increasing the impact of MG diagnosis on vaccination decision.ConclusionMG diagnosis, maximum disease severity, and general concerns about vaccination influenced the intention to get vaccinated.

“…Distrust is pivotal for vaccine behaviors [ 91 ]. Vaccine decisions rely on trust in various aspects, including the efficacy (pharmaceutical companies), safety (the government), and delivery (medical providers) [ 12 ]. Therefore, aggressively detection and treatment PTSD in HCWs is important.…”

“…Vaccine hesitancy has increased in the past 20 years due to the global anti-vaccination message transmission through social media and Internet [ 11 ]. Although the politicization of the COVID-19 virus and the speedy vaccine development likely increase vaccine hesitancy, researches on factors related to vaccination beliefs are needed [ 12 ].…”

Vaccine hesitancy has become a major public health problem among healthcare workers (HCWs) in this coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between societal adaptation and vaccine worries and the mediating effects of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) indicators in HCWs. A total of 435 HCWs (327 women and 108 men) were recruited. Their levels of societal adaptation were evaluated using the Societal Influences Survey Questionnaire (SISQ). Their severity and frequency of PTSD symptoms were examined using the Disaster-Related Psychological Screening Test (DRPST). The severity of vaccine worries was assessed using the Vaccination Attitudes Examination (VAX) Scale. The relationships among societal adaptation, PTSD, and vaccine worries were examined using structural equation modeling. The severity of societal adaptation was positively associated with both the severity of PTSD and the severity of vaccine worries. In addition, the severity of PTSD indicators was positively associated with the severity of vaccine worries. These results demonstrated that the severity of societal adaptation was related to the severity of vaccine worries, either directly or indirectly. The indirect relationship was mediated by the severity of PTSD. Societal adaptation and PTSD should be taken into consideration by the community of professionals working on vaccine hesitancy. Early detection and intervention of PTSD should be the objectives for programs aiming to lower vaccine hesitancy among HCWs.

“…For example, Republicans are less likely to receive vaccination and to comply with mitigation protocols, such as mask-wearing and social distancing [36,37]. Republicans are also less likely to vaccinate their children [27] and more likely to oppose a vaccine mandate for schoolchildren [38]. Partisan self-identification affects vaccination decisions of healthcare workers as well, with Republican HCWs showing lower vaccination likelihood [39,40].…”

“…With the exception of one study based on a general population sample recruited through an online labor marketplace [27], this issue has not been explored. Therefore, we include partisan self-identification in our analysis to evaluate its effect on the decision of nurses to vaccinate their children.…”

COVID-19 Parental Vaccine Hesitancy Among Nurses in the State of South Dakota

Parental vaccine hesitancy is present even among healthcare workers (HCWs). While HCWs are generally more likely to vaccinate their children than the general population, parental vaccine hesitancy exists even among this group [6,7]. A June 2021 poll of over 2,000 HCWs in the United States reported that only half of the registered and licensed practical nurses plan to vaccinate their children under 12 years immediately after vaccines become available [8]. A similar poll conducted in November 2021 on a sample of 4,000 HCWs revealed that only 47% of registered and licensed practical nurses plan to vaccinate their children under the age of 5 right away [9].We build upon the anecdotal evidence and systematically investigate the drivers of parental COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among nurses. Our paper makes several unique contributions to the existing scholarship on parents' attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination-we focus on HCWs, use vaccine uptake as dependent variable, and include parents' political views in the analysis.First, when it comes to understanding parents' hesitancy to vaccinate their children, most studies examined the general population and few focused on HCWs. The studies that explored parental COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy are few [10][11][12]. However, none of the studies were conducted in the United States, and none focus specifically on nurses. HCWs are on the front line of efforts to curb the spread of the virus, and they are impacted by the pandemic to a greater extent than the general population. Nurses, together with other HCWs, serve as primary advisers for people when it comes to health decisions, including vaccination [13][14][15]. The presence of parental vaccine hesitancy among nurses might negatively affect their ability to provide impartial advice to patients regarding vaccination decisions for their families. Vaccine hesitancy among nurses also interferes with the mission of public health officials to increase vaccination rates among children.Second, existing studies examined parents' attitudes toward a hypothetical vaccine only [6,[16][17][18].
