Abstract(s)
A hesitação da vacinação é um fenómeno que tem aumentado e que representa uma ameaça para a saúde pública. Durante o panorama pandémico da COVID-19, surgiu em todos os meios de comunicação, muita informação, quer fosse verdadeira ou falsa, bem como se sobressaíram as teorias conspiracionais anti vacina.
Acredita-se que a vacina é essencial para a mitigação da pandemia pelo que se tentou neste estudo perceber se os componentes identificados na Teoria do Comportamento Planeado agem como preditores da intenção de vacinação e qual o impacto das crenças conspiracionais na intenção de vacinação.
Deste modo, foi feito um questionário a partir das dimensões da Teoria do Comportamento Planeado (TCP), da Escala de Crenças Conspiracionais da Vacinação (ECCV) e do Questionário de Mentalidade Conspiracional, que foi distribuído através das redes sociais e que foi respondido através da plataforma on-line da Google Forms. Responderam ao questionário 208 pessoas com mais de 18 anos, sendo que 78,4% eram mulheres e 21,6% eram homens.
Os resultados demonstraram que as Crenças Conspiracionais têm impacto na Intenção de vacinação; que os três componentes da Teoria do Comportamento Planeado são preditores da Intenção; que existe um efeito indireto da Personalidade e das Crenças Conspiracionais na Intenção, sendo estas mediadas pela Atitude, pela Norma Subjetiva e pelo Controlo Comportamental Percecionado e moderadas pela Confiança nas Organizações Oficiais.
Vaccination hesitation is an increased phenomenon that poses a threat to public health. During the pandemic panorama of COVID-19, a lot of information emerged in all media, whether it was true or false, as well as highlighting conspiracy theories against vaccine. There is the belief that the vaccine is essential for pandemic mitigation, so we tried, in this study, to understand whether the components of the Theory of Planned Behavior act as predictors of vaccination intention and what the impact of conspiratorial beliefs on vaccination intentions. Thus, a questionnaire was made based on the dimensions of TPB, the Vaccination Conspiracy Beliefs Scale (VCBS) and the Conspiracy Mentality Questionnaire, which was distributed through social networks and was answered on the Online Platform of Google Forms. 208 people over 18 years old answered the questionnaire, 78.4% were women and 21.6% were men. The results showed that Conspiratorial Beliefs have an impact on vaccination intention; that the three components of the Theory of Planned Behavior are predictors of Intent and that there is an indirect effect of Personality and Conspiratorial Beliefs in Intention, mediated by Attitude, Subjective Norm and Behavioral Perceived Control and moderated by Trust in Official Organizations.
