“…, Ward et al . ), our findings suggest that, even though the Internet is definitely part of the picture, one should not conclude too hastily that anti‐vaccination websites mechanically fuel vaccine hesitancy by luring naïve people. Regarding parents’ socioeconomic status, both GS and BS participants searched the Internet on vaccination issues, they also expressed the same doubts regarding information found in this way, but several BS participants displayed strategies to filter and appraise information from the Internet.…”

During the last decade, public health research has emphasised the growing public disaffection with vaccination. This contemporary vaccine hesitation (VH) refers to a delay in acceptance or refusal of vaccines, as well as agreement despite doubt and reluctance. We investigated VH among French parents of young children, with an emphasis on two key features of VH: trust towards physicians and commitment to vaccination issues. We targeted two populations with contrasting socioeconomic profiles, using in‐depth interviews (n = 25). Most parents exhibited some kind of VH, with differentiated attitudes across vaccines, including acceptance despite enduring doubts, especially for vaccines already provided to older siblings (‘vaccine inertia’). Despite the rise of the Internet and social media, our participants still strongly relied on face‐to‐face interactions with peers and significant others. Most participants trusted their own physician but this was the result of a selection process: they had engaged resources to find a physician they could trust. Participants with contrasted socioeconomic profiles struggled with the same dilemmas, and they committed themselves to the same quest to find the ‘right’ physician. Nevertheless, parents with a higher socioeconomic status were able to engage more resources and use a wider repertoire of actions, and they also displayed greater health literacy.

“…42and on a theory of planned behaviour approach to behavioural intention (47). The scale has 16 statements (e.g., "My friends think I should look for additional information when making a vaccination decision") that participants rated on a seven-point Likert scale ranging from Totally Disagree (1) to Totally Agree (7). A four-factor model is proposed whereby the final score is expressed as an average of all items within the factor with the higher number indicating higher likelihood of behavioural intention.…”

“…Occasionally, due to unsatisfied information needs, additional sources of information are actively sought out (9,10). This seeking can take place across numerous sources (3,7) and, for some individuals, can be an extensive process (11) that is highly influential in their final decision (12). When vaccine information-seeking behaviour occurs, information from sources is assessed, trusted, and perceived as influential to varying degrees across different individual decision makers (3,(13)(14)(15)(16).…”

Objectives: Information search and processing is critical to the vaccine decision-making process. However, the role of drivers of information satisfaction and search is not fully understood. Here, we investigated the predictive potential of psychosocial characteristics related to satisfaction with information and additional information-seeking about the pertussis vaccine currently recommended during pregnancy. Design: Cross-sectional online questionnaire study. Methods: A UK based sample of 314 women who had given birth during the previous six months was recruited to participate. The questionnaire included measures of the psychosocial predictors: trust, coping strategies, attitude towards vaccine information-seeking behaviour and risk perception of vaccination during pregnancy, and measures of two outcome variables: satisfaction with information received from a health care professional and whether participants engaged in vaccine information-seeking behaviour. Results: Trust in health care professionals, a perceived behavioural control of own vaccine information-seeking behaviour, and an engaged problem-focused strategy for coping with stress were significant predictors of satisfaction with official information given by a health care professional. 40% of women sought out additional information about vaccination however, none of the psychosocial factors measured significantly predicted the behaviour. Conclusions: We found that high trust in health care professionals, a perceived ability to seek out accurate information about vaccines and actively focusing on problems as a means of coping with stress, drives satisfaction in official vaccine information. We also developed measures of these variables that could be used in further research.

Objective This qualitative study aimed to investigate the associations of older patients' inappropriate healthcare‐seeking behaviour at tertiary hospitals in China with their risk perceptions and attitude. Methods The study was based on nine focus group interviews (involving 41 older patients, with three to six per group) and involved the grounded theory method. The participants were recruited at tertiary hospitals. Results The results of this study showed that older patients' inappropriate first‐diagnosis‐seeking behaviour at tertiary hospitals was impacted by their risk perceptions and risk‐averse attitude. Both external factors (family/friends and the Internet) and internal factors (preferences and habits) had played important roles in related processes. Conclusion Thus, to guide older patients' healthcare‐seeking behaviour, changing the thoughts and behaviour of the older patients themselves, their spouses, adult children, other relatives, and friends are all important. More attention should be paid on guiding appropriate risk perceptions and attitude regarding lower‐level medical institutions, increasing their preferences and habit formation regarding lower‐level medical institutions, enhancing older patients' social support and improving and standardising online health information. These are important for the future development of the hierarchical medical system in China.
