---|---|---|---|
[52] | Cohort study | Structured online surveys |
Vaccine hesitancy does not appear to be a major barrier for vaccine uptake amongst patients with mental illness in Denmark. |
[53] | Cross sectional |
Structured survey | 39.5% trusted that COVID-19 vaccine would be safe and effective. Factors independently associated with trust included age (AOR = 1.03, 95 % CI = 1.02, 1.05, p = 0.0001) and wearing a mask all the time (AOR = 2.48, 95 % CI = 1.86, 3.31, p = 0.0001). |
[54] | ITQ; GAD-7; PHQ-9; vaccine hesitancy (8 items); 23 items indexing severity of COVID-19 vaccine side effect | Participants with clinical PTSD levels showed more anxiety and depressive symptoms, were vaccinated a few days later, showed higher vaccine hesitancy levels, and displayed more severe side effects. | |
[55] | Cross sectional study |
21-item depression, anxiety and stress scale | A significantly higher proportion of people with depression or anxiety disorder (64.5%) were more willing to pay for the COVID-19 vaccine than healthy controls (38.1%) (p ≤ 0.001) |
Note: SMI = serious mental illness; ITQ = the international trauma questionnaire; GAD-7 = general anxiety disorder-7; PHQ-9 = patient health questionnaire-9; PTSD = post-traumatic stress disorder.
