20.500.12556/DKUM-88050 Ideological differences in COVID-19 vaccine intention the effects of trust in the healthcare system, in complementary and alternative medicine, and perceived threat from the disease Introduction: Politically left-leaning individuals are more likely to get vaccinated against COVID-19, although little is known about the mechanisms underlying the ideological differences in vaccination intentions. Understanding the extent to which trust in the healthcare system, in complementary and alternative medicine, and the perceived threat from the disease contribute to these disparities is crucial, as it could inform targeted interventions to address vaccine hesitancy across the political spectrum. Methods: The present cross-sectional study conducted among adults living in Slovenia (n  =  858) examined the mediating role of trust in the healthcare system, trust in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), and the perceived threat from the virus on COVID-19 vaccination intention. Results: We found that leftist ideology and trust in the healthcare system positively predicted vaccination intention, whereas CAM negatively predicted this intention. In addition, left-leaning individuals expressed greater trust in the healthcare system and lower trust in CAM, resulting in higher levels of COVID-19 vaccination intention. The serial mediation model confirmed that trust in CAM was a negative predictor, while trust in the healthcare system positively predicted perceived threat. Discussion: When dealing with vaccine hesitancy among right-oriented individuals, strategies should focus on enhancing trust in the healthcare system and critically evaluating the reliance on CAM. vaccine hesitancy political ideology percieved threat trust healthcare system complementary medicine alternative medicine oklevanje pred cepljenjem politična ideologija percipirana ogroženost zaupanje zdravstveni sistem komplementarna medicina alternativna medicina true true true Frontiers Research Foundation Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychology/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2024.1332697/full Članek v reviji 2024-04-08 12:26:45 2024-04-08 12:26:47 2024-04-09 03:44:55 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 str. 1-8 Vol. 15 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2023-11-03 2024-01-08 2024-01-30 316.334:613.6.01 183585027 10.3389/fpsyg.2024.1332697 1664-1078 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2024.1332697/full 1 862894ee-f592-11ee-b18e-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=178031 RAZ_Lamot_Monika_2024.pdf RAZ_Lamot_Monika_2024.pdf 1 518162BC45ED7E6FFC99BDA405516B61 1c50d32ffdaf22357008bd9c353c4fed545be22242f5c43904190db314041f8e 959b4618-f597-11ee-b18e-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=178032 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
