宗教信仰可能会影响新冠肺炎疫苗接种。然而，目前尚不清楚虔诚的宗教信仰与人们对新冠肺炎的看法以及接种疫苗有何关联，尤其是在少数民族中。这项研究调查了波多黎各成年人中与新冠肺炎相关的宗教信仰、接种意图、信念和态度与接种疫苗之间的关联。使用了2020年12月至2021年2月对居住在波多黎各的成年人(≥18岁；n=1895)进行的在线调查的数据。对宗教信仰重要性的评级被用来衡量宗教信仰的程度(不太重要、有些重要、重要和非常重要)。健康信念模型评估了对新冠肺炎的信念和态度以及针对它的疫苗接种。调整后的泊松模型具有稳健的误差方差估计患病率(PR)和95%的可信区间为疫苗接种意向和个人新冠肺炎家庭健康管理结构。相比那些认为宗教信仰对他们来说“不那么重要”的人，那些认为宗教信仰对他们来说“非常重要”的人更有可能不愿或不确定是否接种新冠肺炎疫苗(PR=1.5 1，95%CI=1.10-2.05)。与最低水平相比，对宗教信仰重要性的评价越高，人们对新冠肺炎易感性的感知就越低，疫苗接种障碍越多，疫苗受益也就越低(均P<；0.05)。报告宗教信仰对他们非常重要的人更有可能报告说，他们只有在获得足够的信息后才会接种新冠肺炎疫苗(PR=1.14，95%CI=1.02-1.27)，如果更多的人决定接种疫苗，他们更有可能接种疫苗(均P<；0.05)。总而言之，我们的结果表明宗教信仰与新冠肺炎接种意向以及对接种疫苗的信念和态度之间存在关联。这项研究强调了提高波多黎各宗教社区接种疫苗的公共卫生运动的重要指导方针。
Religiosity may influence COVID-19 vaccination. However, it remains unclear how religiosity is associated with beliefs toward COVID-19 and vaccination against it, particularly amongst ethnic minorities. This study examined the association between religiosity, vaccination intent, beliefs, and attitudes related to COVID-19 and vaccination among adults in Puerto Rico. Data from an online survey conducted between December 2020–February 2021 among adults (≥18 yr; n = 1895) residing in Puerto Rico were used. Rating of the importance of religiosity was used to capture the level of religiosity (‘less important’, ‘somewhat important’, ‘important’, and ‘very important’). The health belief model (HBM) assessed beliefs and attitudes toward COVID-19 and vaccination against it. Adjusted Poisson models with robust error variance estimated prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals for vaccination intent and individual COVID-19 HBM constructs. Compared to individuals rating religiosity as ‘less important’ to them, those rating it as ‘very important’ were more likely to be unwilling or uncertain to get the COVID-19 vaccine (PR = 1.51, 95% CI = 1.10–2.05). Higher ratings of importance of religiosity, compared to the lowest level, were associated with significantly lower perceived COVID-19 susceptibility, more vaccine barriers, and lower vaccine benefits (all p < 0.05). Individuals who reported religiosity being very important to them were more likely to report that they will get the COVID-19 vaccine only if given adequate information about it (PR = 1.14, 95% CI = 1.02–1.27) and more likely to get the vaccine if more people decide to receive it (all p < 0.05). In conclusion, our results suggest an association between religiosity and COVID-19 vaccination intent and beliefs and attitudes toward vaccination. The study highlights important guidelines for public health campaigns to increase vaccine uptake among religious communities in Puerto Rico.
