Abstract

Objectives: During the COVID-19 pandemic, online health information search has been shown to influence the public's health beliefs, risk attitudes, and vaccination behavior. This study constructs a conditional process model to explore how online health information search impacts public vaccination behavior, considering critical factors like healthcare system satisfaction, vaccine risk perception, and the perceived usefulness of information.

Methods: Data from the 2021 Chinese General Social Survey (N = 2,547) were analysed. The study utilized logistic regression, path analysis, and the Bootstrap method to test the conditional process model.

Results: Increased online health information search promotes vaccination behavior, while increased vaccine risk perception hinders vaccination behavior. Higher satisfaction with the healthcare system encourages vaccination behavior, but online health information search reduces healthcare system satisfaction. Satisfaction with the healthcare system and vaccine risk perception play a chain mediating role between online health information search and vaccination behavior. Additionally, the perceived usefulness of information has a negative moderating effect on online health information search and healthcare system satisfaction.

Conclusion: The research findings provide new insights for health information dissemination and vaccination interventions.

COVID-19 大流行期间在线健康信息搜索与疫苗接种行为之间的关系。

目的：在 COVID-19 大流行期间，在线健康信息搜索已被证明会影响公众的健康信念、风险态度和疫苗接种行为。本研究构建了一个条件过程模型，以探讨在线健康信息搜索如何影响公众的疫苗接种行为，并考虑了医疗系统满意度、疫苗风险感知和信息有用性感知等关键因素：分析了 2021 年中国社会综合调查的数据（N = 2,547 人）。研究利用逻辑回归、路径分析和 Bootstrap 方法对条件过程模型进行了检验：结果：在线健康信息搜索的增加促进了疫苗接种行为，而疫苗风险认知的增加则阻碍了疫苗接种行为。对医疗保健系统较高的满意度会促进疫苗接种行为，但在线健康信息搜索会降低医疗保健系统的满意度。对医疗系统的满意度和疫苗风险认知在在线健康信息搜索和疫苗接种行为之间起着连锁中介作用。此外，感知到的信息有用性对在线健康信息搜索和医疗系统满意度具有负向调节作用：研究结果为健康信息传播和疫苗接种干预提供了新的见解。
