Psycho-behavioural factors influencing COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among Korean adults: The moderating role of age.
Article in Journal of advanced nursing, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimsThis study aimed to identify the psycho-behavioural factors influencing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine hesitancy among Korean adults. We examined the primary effects of eHealth literacy, social responsibility and self-efficacy on COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy using the information-motivation-behavioural skills (IMB) model. The moderating effect of age on the relationship between psycho-behavioural factors and COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy was also examined.
designThe study used a cross-sectional survey design.
methodsAn online survey was completed by 500 Korean adults (253 men and 247 women) aged 20-60 years. Data collection took place in May 2021. The constructed hypothetical model for eHealth literacy, social responsibility, self-efficacy and age was evaluated using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM).
resultseHealth literacy, social responsibility and self-efficacy had significant negative effects on COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. Age had a significant moderating effect on COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. The moderating effects of age on the relationship between eHealth literacy and COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and between social responsibility and COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy enhanced the explanatory power by high effect size. The overall fitness of the hypothetical model was good. The standardized root mean square residual value was 0.007, which explained 18.5% of the COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy.
conclusionTo reduce COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among Korean adults, a strategic approach that considers age should be adopted to enhance eHealth literacy, social responsibility and self-efficacy. IMPACT: The findings of this study suggest that providing correct health information online related to the COVID-19 vaccine is likely to be effective in decreasing COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in older individuals, whereas inspiring a sense of social responsibility is more likely to be effective in younger individuals. These strategic nursing interventions could contribute to improving COVID-19 vaccination rates among Korean adults.
