“…Continuous variables are described by calculating the Mean ± SD, and categorical variables are described by calculating the frequency and percentage of each variable (of the total sample). Analytic analysis includes Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), reliability analysis, repeated measures analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), t-test, correlation analysis, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and regression analysis (Jeong & Kang, 2019;Nemati-Anaraki et al, 2021). When there are differences in variable means between three or more groups, to determine the specific two groups that differ, multiple comparison tests were conducted after the one-way ANOVA.…”

This research aimed to investigate college students' academic engagement during the outbreak of COVID-19 in some areas in China, thus verifying how benefit finding (BF) influences academic engagement with anxiety as moderating effect. We conducted a questionnaire composed of the recompiled Benefit Finding Scale, Student Version of the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, and 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale. In the outbreak stage of COVID-19, all aspects of students' academic engagement were lower than before the outbreak stage of COVID-19 (p < .001). BF had a positive influence on academic engagement (β = .253, p < .001), and anxiety weakened the relationship between BF and academic engagement (β = -.138, p = .001). BF by college students due to the long-term epidemic increased their academic engagement, and students with high BF had positive motivation and performance in academic achievements. However, the different degrees of anxiety brought by the outbreak decreased the positive influence of BF on academic engagement.

BackgroundVaccination is one of the most influential and cost-effective health interventions for preventing and reducing COVID-19 diseases. Unfortunately, the majority of the world's population is deprived of vaccination. Health Literacy (HL) and Media Literacy (ML) are essential to the COVID-19 vaccination. The present study investigates the barriers to COVID-19 vaccine uptake, focusing on classification and the roles of HL and ML.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among people 18–65 years old in Sarab City, located in East Azerbaijan, Iran, between September to October 2020. Multistage cluster sampling was employed to recruit 298 people from Health Care Services Centers (HCCs).ResultsThe results of this research demonstrated that about 32.6% of participants reported that they have fully injected COVID-19 vaccines. Also, HL was positively associated with ML (r = 0.214, p < 0.05). Barriers of COVID-19 vaccine uptake were classified into personal, interpersonal, group and organizational, society and decision-making factors. Besides, barriers to the COVID-19 vaccine were significantly correlated with HL (r = −0.298, p < 0.05) and ML (r = 0.266, p < 0.05). Additionally, in the hierarchical regression model, demographic characteristics accounted for 8.2% of the variation in barriers to the COVID-19 vaccine (F = 4.34; p = 0.001), that monthly income (ß = −0.237; p < 0.05) and marriage statues (ß = 0.131; p < 0.05) were statistically associated with low barriers. HL as predictor variables explained an additional 14.4% of variation in barriers of COVID-19 vaccine (F = 53.84; p < 0.001) and ML explained an extra 9.2% of the variation (F = 38.83; p < 0.001). In total, demographic characteristics, HL dimensions and ML were able to explain 31.8% of the variation in barriers to COVID-19 vaccine.ConclusionsAccording to the findings, various strategies are needed to increase the COVID-19 vaccination uptake. This is due to the fact that barriers to COVID-19 vaccination uptake are multifactorial. These facts can help health policymakers and healthcare providers design media-based interventions to reduce barriers to COVID-19 vaccination uptake among adults. Enhancing vaccine HL and ML for adults and improving vaccine confidence are of high priority.

The Relation between Media Literacy and COVID-19 Vaccination

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic is accompanied by a lot of conflicting information about the COVID-19 vaccination on social media. The incorrect information and disability to identification of correct information led to the avoidance of the vaccine.
