COVID-19疫苗已被授权在一些社会中用于儿童。父母给孩子接种疫苗的意图是有具体背景的。这项研究利用健康信念模型（HBM）和计划行为理论（TPB），通过研究香港父母打算为子女接种疫苗的程度及其相关因素，为一个及时的话题做出了贡献，香港政府宣布五岁以下的儿童可以从2022年1月21日开始接种COVID-19疫苗。一项大规模的在线调查访问了11，141名5-12岁儿童的香港父母（86%为母亲）（N = 14，468，49.5%为女孩）。他们报告了评估HBM结构的措施（即，感知敏感性、感知严重性、感知益处、感知障碍和行动线索），TPB结构（即，态度、主观规范和感知的行为控制），以及他们给每个孩子接种疫苗的意图。描述性统计结果显示，香港家长为孩子接种疫苗的意愿非常低（1.55（满分5.00））。多水平回归显示，在控制了父母和儿童的人口统计学变量（例如，性别和年龄），如果父母有较高水平的感知易感性，感知效益，积极的态度和主观规范，如果他们有较低水平的感知障碍，父母的意愿，他们的孩子接种疫苗更高。积极的态度是父母的意图最强的相关。这些研究结果对公共卫生有重要意义，可告知当局应解决哪些因素，以提高香港父母为子女接种疫苗的意愿。
COVID-19 vaccines have been authorized for use in children in some societies. Parents’ intention to vaccinate their children is context-specific. Drawing upon health belief model (HBM) and theory of planned behavior (TPB), this study contributed to a timely topic by examining the extent to which parents intended to vaccinate their children and its associated factors in Hong Kong, where the government announced children as young as five could take COVID-19 vaccines starting from 21 January 2022. A large-scale, online survey was conducted among 11,141 Hong Kong parents (86% mothers) of children aged 5–12 (N = 14,468, 49.5% girls). They reported on measures that assessed HBM constructs (i.e., perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and cues to action), TPB constructs (i.e., attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control), and their intention to vaccinate each of their children. Results of descriptive statistics showed that Hong Kong parents’ intention to vaccinate their children was very low (1.55 out of 5.00). Multilevel regression showed that after controlling for parents’ and children’s demographic variables (e.g., sex and age), parents’ intention to vaccinate their children was higher if parents had higher levels of perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, positive attitudes, and subjective norms and if they had lower levels of perceived barriers. Positive attitudes were the strongest correlate of parents’ intention. These findings have important implications for public health by informing which factors authorities should address in order to boost Hong Kong parents’ intention to vaccinate their children.
