20.500.12556/DKUM-89369 The influence of anxiety and fear of COVID‑19 on vaccination hesitancy among postsecondary students The aim of the present study was to explore the infuence of anxiety and fear of COVID-19 on vaccination hesitancy among Slovenian postsecondary students. A cross-sectional study using a set of previously tested instruments and ad hoc questions created by the authors was chosen as the method to gain insight into various health and sociodemographic aspects of Slovenian postsecondary students afected by the COVID-19-induced closures and suspensions of educational activities at tertiary educational institutions (N= 5999). Overall, 39.7% of participating students expressed an intention to get vaccinated at the frst possible opportunity, whereas 29.2% expressed no intent to do so. The highest vaccine hesitancy was observed among prospective teachers (50.3%) and the lowest among prospective physicians (5,7%). When examining the role of anxiety and fear of COVID-19 on the Slovenian postsecondary students' intentions to get vaccinated the results of logistic regression showed that only fear of COVID-19 played a mild and signifcant role. vaccination health care health occupations medical research risk factors signs and symptoms students cepljenje zdravstveno varstvo zdravstveni poklici medicinske raziskave dejavniki tveganja znaki in simptomi študenti true false true Nature Publishing Group Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2024-07-05 08:45:12 2024-07-05 09:00:52 2024-07-06 04:02:48 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Str. 1-10 Št. članka 20564 Letn. 12 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2022-05-19 2022-11-28 2022-11-29 614.47-057.875(497.4) 132002563 10.1038/s41598-022-25221-2 2045-2322 Sorgo-2022-The_influence_of_anxiety_and_fear_o.pdf Sorgo-2022-The_influence_of_anxiety_and_fear_o.pdf 1 BE389E619D84CB51D0DDF38015F59207 a8f0c1db77a927aa9844ae8d55ce1e6eb6c8e4ab80445de9ec7b28693767d880 1f63087d-3a9c-11ef-bcfd-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=181164 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-25221-2 0 26ed9162-3a9c-11ef-bcfd-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=181165 Fakulteta za naravoslovje in matematiko 0 0 0
