- Abstract
Background: COVID-19 is a respiratory disease that spread massively in 219 countries leading to a pandemic. Vaccination is a prevention strategy in the epidemiology approach by analyzing behavioral determinants related to vaccination acceptance of COVID-19. This study aims to analyze the association between behavioral determinants with the vaccination's acceptance of COVID-19 in Citta District, Soppeng Regency. Method: A cross-sectional study design was carried out on 333 people. Cluster sampling was applied as the sampling technique. Data analysis used the Chi-Square test and logistic regression. Results: A significant relationship was found between behavioral determinants and acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine, including access to information (p=0.013) and the role of health workers (p=0.003). Whereas gender, education, occupational, knowledge, attitudes, and family support were not related to the COVID-19 vaccination acceptance. Multivariate analysis results showed that access to information (p=0.004: OR 2.129: 95 % CI: 1.272-3.563) and the role of health workers (p=0.001: OR 0.444: 95 % CI: 0.278-0.707) were most related with the 1st booster COVID-19 vaccination effectiveness. Conclusion: The role of health workers associated with COVID-19 vaccination acceptance is related to the information that can be obtained and accessed by the community. Suggestions: It is expected that health workers will act more actively in capturing the public and be more informative and open to the public regarding information.
