人们对黎巴嫩大学生关于 2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 疫苗接种的决策过程知之甚少。本研究的目的是确定预测贝鲁特美国大学就读学生接种 COVID-19 疫苗行为意图的因素。总共随机抽取了 3805 名学生。参与者被分为三组：疫苗接受组（愿意接种或已经接种疫苗）、疫苗犹豫组（犹豫是否接种疫苗）和疫苗抵抗组（决定不接种疫苗）。总体而言，参与者接受疫苗（87%），其中分别有 10% 和 3% 表示犹豫和抵抗。疫苗犹豫与国籍、居住状况和大学排名显着相关。相信疫苗安全并同意其个人观点的参与者不太可能犹豫不决。没有接种流感疫苗的参与者比接种流感疫苗的参与者更加犹豫。此外，还观察到犹豫与同意阴谋之间存在显着关联。对 COVID-19 疾病和疫苗的高水平了解可以降低学生对疫苗产生耐药性的可能性。确定的解释这三个疫苗意向组的因素可以用作健康传播和社会营销活动的核心内容，以提高 COVID-19 疫苗接种率。
Little is known about the decision-making process of college students in Lebanon regarding coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. The aim of this study was to identify factors predicting behavioural intentions of students enrolled at the American University of Beirut to obtain a COVID-19 vaccine. A total of 3805 students were randomly selected. Participants were divided into three groups: vaccine accepting (willing to take or already took the vaccine), vaccine hesitant (hesitant to take the vaccine) and vaccine resistant (decided not to take the vaccine). Overall, participants were vaccine accepting (87%), with 10% and 3% being hesitant and resistant, respectively. Vaccine hesitancy was significantly associated with nationality, residency status and university rank. Participants who believed the vaccine was safe and in agreement with their personal views were less likely to be hesitant. Participants who did not receive the flu vaccine were more hesitant than those who did. Moreover, a significant association between hesitancy and agreement with conspiracies was observed. A high level of knowledge about COVID-19 disease and vaccine resulted in lower odds of vaccine resistance among students. The factors identified explaining each of the three vaccine intention groups can be used as core content for health communication and social marketing campaigns to increase the rate of COVID-19 vaccination.
