The relationship between levels of confidence of parents towards childhood vaccines and their vaccine attitudes.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimThis study aimed to examine the relationship between parents’ confidence in childhood vaccines and their vaccine attitudes, and to identify factors influencing parents’ vaccine attitudes.
methodA cross-sectional research design. The data collected from 110 parents of children attending a Pediatrics Clinic in western Türkiye. The data collected by utilizing Personal Information Form, the Vaccination Confidence Scale (VCS), and the Vaccine Attitudes Scale (VAS). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, and one-way ANOVA.
resultsParents’ confidence in childhood vaccinations was found to be at a moderate level, while vaccine attitudes were relatively high. Approximately 16% of participants believed vaccines were unnecessary. A strong negative correlation was identified between vaccine confidence and negative vaccine attitudes, indicating that higher confidence was associated with fewer negative attitudes (r= -0.722, p < 0.001). Regression analysis revealed that parents’ confidence in vaccines (β=-0.547) and their beliefs regarding vaccine necessity were significant predictors of vaccine attitudes (β=-0.319).
conclusionThe study highlights that moderate confidence and relatively high negative attitudes exist among parents regarding childhood vaccinations. It is essential for public health nurses to increase parents’ trust through accurate information and transparent communication in order to reduce negative attitudes and support participation in vaccination programs.
