Contexte Des épidémies de grippe se produisent chaque année dans le monde entier, ce qui constitue un défi sanitaire mondial. Cette étude vise à explorer l’association entre la perception du risque (gravité perçue et probabilité perçue), l’efficacité perçue (efficacité de l’individu et efficacité du gouvernement), la confiance dans les autorités et l’intention de mettre en œuvre des comportements de protection contre la grippe. Méthodes Les données (N = 1 372) utilisées dans ce document proviennent de l’ensemble des données de l’enquête sur le changement social de Taïwan de 2013. Six intentions de comportements de protection (se faire vacciner, porter un masque, se laver les mains, éviter de se rendre dans des lieux publics, désinfecter son domicile et prendre des compléments alimentaires) ont été étudiées. Des régressions logistiques ordonnées et Tobit ont été utilisées pour analyser les données.
Background Influenza outbreaks occur annually across the world, causing a global health challenge. This study aims to explore the association between risk perception (perceived severity and perceived probability), perceived efficacy (individual’s efficacy and government’s efficacy), trust in authorities, and intention to implement influenza protective behaviors. Methods The data (N = 1,372) used in this paper comes from the 2013 Taiwan Social Change Survey dataset. Six intentions of protective behaviors (getting vaccinated, wearing a mask, washing hands, avoiding going to public settings, sanitizing home, and eating nutritional supplements) were investigated. Tobit and ordered logistic regressions were used to conduct data analysis. Results Respondents were most inclined to washing hands, followed by wearing a mask, avoiding going to public settings, getting vaccine, sanitizing their homes, and eating nutritional supplements. Perceived severity and individual’s efficacy were positively correlated with all 6 behavioral intentions. Trust in authorities has positive effect on all the protective behaviors except sanitizing home. Moreover, perceived probability has positive relationships with overall intention, intention to wear mask, and intention to wash hands. Government’s efficacy was only positively correlated with eating nutritional supplements. Conclusions Perceived severity and perceived response efficacy towards flu, as well as trust in authorities were relatively important factors in motivating people’s intention to adopt influenza protective behaviors.
