“…Additionally, factors such as fatigue from previous infections, differences in perceived susceptibility to reinfection, or variations in adherence to other preventive measures could also have influenced ATK usage behavior. These possibilities are aligned with Patel et al, 32 and Gómez-Gonzales et al 33 who stated that the likelihood of reinfection of COVID-19 depends on several factors, including infection treatment, immunopathogenesis, immune responses, rigorous adherence to appropriate behavior, and prevention strategies. Moreover, Mori et al 34 found that people with a history of COVID-19 were less likely to self-restraint from most social behaviors, and people whose acquaintance had been diagnosed with COVID-19 were significantly more likely to refrain from most social behaviors.…”

The COVID-19 self-test kit plays a pivotal role in public health by identifying active infections and enhancing individuals' access to testing. Its rapid results enable early detection of positive cases, contributing significantly to the control of disease transmission. This cross-sectional survey aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and behavior in using COVID-19 self-test kit and explored demographic characteristics, knowledge, and attitude as factors predicting COVID-19 self-test kit usage behavior among undergraduate students of the Faculty of Physical Education, Sports, and Health. The participants were selected by quota sampling technique. Data were collected from February 1 to 25, 2023. A total of 446 participants completed an anonymous online questionnaire voluntarily. Descriptive statistics, one-way analysis of variance and multiple stepwise linear regression were utilized for data analysis, using SPSS at a significance level of 0.05. The findings showed a high level of knowledge (71.3%) in using COVID-19 self-test kits, moderate scores in behavior (71.7%) and a neutral attitude (54.3%) towards their usage. Gender, year of study, department of study, and underlying disease exhibited noteworthy disparities in knowledge scores (all p<0.05). Similarly, gender, number of COVID-19 infections, and vaccination status were associated with attitudes (all p < 0.001). Furthermore, the department of study emerged as a significant factor influencing behavioral aspects (p = 0.013). Attitude (β = 0.427, 95% CI [0.455, 0.685], p < 0.001), being from the Department of Public Health (β = 0.199, 95% CI [2.388, 5.771], p < 0.001), knowledge (β = 0.168, 95% CI [0.316, 0.962], p < 0.001), being gender diverse (β = -0.089, 95% CI [-5.428, -0.157], p = 0.038), and being infected with COVID-19 twice (β = -0.083, 95% CI [-6.632, -0.015], p = 0.049) were significant predictors of COVID-19 self-test kit usage behavior. The identified predictors provide practical guidance for educational institutions and health authorities.

“…According to one study, to reduce the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases and deaths, it was estimated that, on average, the administration of 80 vaccine doses per 100 people was necessary [ 13 ]. However, the efficacy of vaccination is challenged by an increasing number of mutated strains, clinically proven possibilities of reinfection, and globally uneven rates of vaccination [ 14 , 15 ].…”

Background As the SARS-CoV-2 virus created a global pandemic and rapidly became an imminent threat to the health and lives of people worldwide, the need for a vaccine and its quick distribution among the population was evident. Due to the urgency, and on the back of international collaboration, vaccines were developed rapidly. However, vaccination rollouts showed different success rates in different countries and some also led to increased vaccine hesitancy. Objective The aim of this study was to identify the role of information sharing and context sensitivity in various vaccination programs throughout the initial COVID-19 vaccination rollout in different countries. Moreover, we aimed to identify factors in national vaccination programs related to COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, safety, and effectiveness. Toward this end, multidisciplinary and multinational opinions from members of the Navigating Knowledge Landscape (NKL) network were analyzed. Methods From May to July 2021, 25 completed questionnaires from 27 NKL network members were collected. These contributors were from 17 different countries. The responses reflected the contributors’ subjective viewpoints on the status and details of the COVID-19 vaccination rollout in their countries. Contributors were asked to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (ie, SWOT) of the respective vaccination programs. The responses were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis, followed by frequency analysis of identified themes according to the represented countries. Results The perspectives of NKL network members showed a link between organizational elements of the vaccination rollout and the accompanying societal response, both of which were related to strengths and weaknesses of the process. External sociocultural variables, improved public communication around vaccination-related issues, ethical controversies, and the spread of disinformation were the dominant themes related to opportunities and challenges. In the SWOT 2×2 matrix, Availability and Barriers emerged as internal categories, whereas Transparent communication and promotion and Societal divide emerged as key external categories. Conclusions Inventory of themes and categories inspired by elements of the SWOT framework provides an informative multidisciplinary perspective for effective implementation of public health strategies in the battle against COVID-19 or any future pandemics of a similar nature.
