20.500.12556/DKUM-90008 Exploring the inherent heterogeneity of vaccine hesitancy a study of a childhood-vaccine-hesitant population Vaccine hesitancy and its determinants have been previously widely researched. Vaccine hesitancy has been defined as a continuum of attitudes, ranging from accepting vaccines with doubts to rejecting them. The present study aims to explore the heterogeneity of a childhood-vaccine-hesitant group by using a person-oriented approach-latent profile analysis. A non-representative cross-sectional sample of vaccine-hesitant Slovenians (N = 421, Mage = 35.21, 82.9% women) was used to identify differences based on their reliance on personal research (“self” researching instead of relying on science), overconfidence in knowledge, endorsement of conspiracy theories, complementary and alternative medicine, and trust in the healthcare system. The analysis revealed three profiles of vaccine-hesitant individuals. The most hesitant profile-vaccine rejecting-expressed the greatest reliance on personal research, expressed the highest endorsement of conspiracy theories and complementary and alternative medicine, showed moderate overconfidence in their knowledge, and expressed the highest levels of distrust in the healthcare system. We further found differences in sociodemographic structure and that the identified profiles differed in their attitudes regarding MMR, HPV, and Seasonal Influenza vaccinations. The present study demonstrates the heterogeneity of the vaccine-hesitant community and offers insights into some of the traits, which are crucial for designing pro-vaccine campaigns. vaccine hesitancy heterogeneity latent profile analysis complementary and alternative medicine CAM conspiracy theories trust in healthcare system oklevanje pred cepljenjem analiza latentnih profilov teorije zarot komplementarna in alternativna medicina zaupanje v zdravstveni sistem true true true MDPI Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Slovenija; Članek v reviji 2024-08-21 03:39:11 2024-08-21 07:52:49 2024-08-22 03:21:10 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 15 str. iss. 8, [article no.] 839 Vol. 12 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2024-06-29 2024-07-24 2024-07-25 316.653:614.47 203401731 10.3390/vaccines12080839 2076-393X https://www.mdpi.com/2076-393X/12/8/839 1 2d303d88-5f5e-11ef-bf58-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=182827 RAZ_Lamot_Monika_2024.pdf RAZ_Lamot_Monika_2024.pdf 1 A84C67E9292E41E2F4D153BBB9778078 4e3274621869753d749b8f9251eba1db10d3c4955be375301d77a6c880af4c5f 83c234da-5f81-11ef-bf58-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=182834 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
