“…This finding is similar to another study in the US that found a moderate association between COVID-19 knowledge and intention to vaccinate against COVID-19 (Reiter et al, 2020). Previous studies show a positive association between vaccine knowledge and vaccine intention (Krishna, 2018;Schulz & Hartung, 2020). Chen et al, (2020) found that for individuals who were not knowledgeable enough were more susceptible to health misinformation in the media.…”

“…A number of studies show a positive association between knowledge about a disease as well as knowledge about vaccines as positively associated with vaccine intentions. For example, Schulz and Hartung (2020) found that general vaccination knowledge has the most consistent impact on vaccination behavior across six different vaccines such as tetanus, measles, influenza and others, as well as willingness to recommend these vaccines to others. Krishna (2017) found that lack of scientifically accurate knowledge influenced negative attitudes toward vaccine, which in turn impacted vaccination behavioral intention.…”

Building public trust and willingness to vaccinate against COVID-19 is as important as developing a safe and effective vaccine to contain the pandemic. Based on the theory of normative social behavior, trust, and the theory of planned behavior, this study tests a comprehensive model for COVID-19 vaccine intentions using a national sample survey of the New Zealand public (N=1040). Among the factors assessed in the study, attitudes towards vaccine was most strongly associated with COVID-19 vaccination intentions, followed by trust in mass media, and social norms. While COVID-19 knowledge was associated with COVID-19 vaccine intention, it was not associated with willingness to pay or get on a COVID-19 vaccine list. In contrast, communication competence was not associated with COVID-19 vaccine intention but was significantly associated with willingness to pay or get on a COVID-19 vaccine list. Findings can help inform theory and practice of health campaigns to fight vaccine disinformation and increase COVID-19 vaccine uptake, when available.

“…Examining and understanding the factors predicting the motivation to receive COVID-19 vaccination among frontline HCWs is critical for designing an effective intervention to increase their acceptance of vaccination [20]. Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) [21,22] has been used to explore the cognitive factors contributing to the acceptance of vaccination for respiratory infectious diseases (RIDs) such as influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, and pertussis [23][24][25]. According to PMT, threat appraisal and coping appraisal are two major cognitive processes that determine an individual's motivation to adopt protective behaviors to reduce the risk of contracting RIDs [26].…”

Comparisons of Motivation to Receive COVID-19 Vaccination and Related Factors between Frontline Physicians and Nurses and the Public in Taiwan: Applying the Extended Protection Motivation Theory

This study aimed to compare the differences in motivation to receive a COVID-19 vaccination between frontline physicians and nurses and the Taiwanese public. The associations of threat and coping appraisals, as described in Protection Motivation Theory (PMT), with motivation to receive COVID-19 vaccination were compared between these groups, too. We recruited 279 frontline physicians and nurses and 768 members of the public by a Facebook advertisement. Participants’ motivation to receive COVID-19 vaccination, perceived severity of and vulnerability to COVID-19, self-efficacy and response efficacy of COVID-19 vaccination, response cost of COVID-19 vaccination, and knowledge about the mechanism of COVID-19 vaccination in light of PMT were determined. The results demonstrated that frontline health workers had higher motivation to receive COVID-19 vaccination than the public. Response efficacy and knowledge of COVID-19 vaccination were positively associated with motivation to receive COVID-19 vaccination in both frontline health workers and the public, whereas perceived vulnerability, perceived severity, and response cost of COVID-19 vaccination were positively associated with motivation in the public but not in frontline physicians and nurses. The factors related to motivation to receive COVID-19 vaccination should be considered when designing programs to increase motivation to receive COVID-19 vaccination among frontline health workers and the public.

Motivation to Have COVID-19 Vaccination Explained Using an Extended Protection Motivation Theory among University Students in China: The Role of Information Sources

Background: The aims of the present study were to examine the prediction of the threat and coping appraisal utilizing an extended protection motivation theory (PMT) for the motivation to have COVID-19 vaccination and the influence of various information sources on coping appraisal among university students in China. Methods: The sample comprised 3145 students from 43 universities in China who completed an online survey including PMT constructs as well as constructs added to PMT. The PMT constructs comprised motivation to have COVID-19 vaccination, threat appraisal, and coping appraisal. The extended PMT constructs comprised knowledge about mechanisms and information sources of COVID-19 vaccination. Results: Perceived severity of COVID-19 was positively associated with motivation to have COVID-19 vaccination. Receiving information concerning COVID-19 vaccination from medical personnel was associated with greater self-efficacy, response efficacy, and knowledge, whereas receiving information concerning COVID-19 vaccination from coworkers/colleagues was associated with less response efficacy and knowledge. Receiving online information concerning COVID-19 vaccination was associated with greater response cost of vaccination efficacy and less knowledge. Conclusions: This study supported the prediction of perceived severity in the PMT for motivation to have COVID-19 vaccination among university students in China. Vaccination information sources have different effects on students’ coping appraisal of COVID-19 vaccination.
