To explore the non-immunization vaccines hesitancy and associated factors among parents of 0-18 years old children in Karamay.
Based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), we used a stratified sampling method to select parents of 0-18 years old children in 12 schools of Karamay for a questionnaire-based survey.The structural equation model was used to determine relationships between variables.
Of 1 258 parents included in the analysis, the incidence of vaccine hesitancy among those was 38.95%. Logistic regression analysis showed that parents with younger children, higher educated, higher income, and longer local residence were less likely to be hesitant. The indicators of model fit are in line with the theoretical requirements. The model explains 56% of the variance of parental hesitancy to vaccinate. Attitudes (βstandard=-0.36, P<0.01), subjective norms (βstandard=-0.23, P<0.01), perceived behavioral control (βstandard=-0.21, P<0.01), and perceived risk (βstandard=-0.12, P<0.01) were associated with non-immunization vaccines hesitancy.
The TPB model can better explain parents’ hesitancy to receive non-immunization vaccines. To increase parental willingness about vaccinate, it is essential to strengthen parents’ trust in vaccine quality and knowledge of vaccines. Furthermore, utilizing physicians and social media for health education is crucial.
