Background

The widespread COVID-19 vaccination program, issued by the Israel Government, provides a unique opportunity to examine psychiatric morbidity and vaccine attitudes among individuals who have already been vaccinated. Accordingly, the current study examined how vaccine hesitancy contributes to clinical levels of depression, anxiety, and peritraumatic stress among individuals who had received COVID-19 vaccinations.

Methods

We analyzed data obtained from 254 vaccinated individuals, and assessed vaccine hesitancy, depression, anxiety, and peritraumatic distress, as well as several demographic, health, and COVID-19-related factors.

Results

Logistic regressions demonstrated that above and beyond socio-demographic, health, and COVID-19-related factors, COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy was the most prominent risk factor for anxiety, depression, and peritraumatic distress. Higher levels of vaccine hesitancy were found to double the risk for depression and peritraumatic stress (ORs > 2), and to triple the risk for anxiety (OR > 3).

Limitations

A cross-sectional design; a preliminary study requiring further investigation

Conclusions

This study points to the importance of vaccine hesitancy among vaccinated populations and provides knowledge regarding its associations with negative psychiatric outcomes. These findings may offer important information for healthcare practitioners and policy makers in their attempt to encourage individuals to receive COVID-19 vaccinations and emphasize the need to further understand the underlying mechanisms of psychiatric morbidity among vaccinated individuals.

没有心理疫苗接种：疫苗犹豫与接受 COVID-19 疫苗接种的以色列人的负面精神结果有关

背景

以色列政府发布的广泛 COVID-19 疫苗接种计划提供了一个独特的机会来检查已经接种疫苗的个人的精神病发病率和疫苗态度。因此，当前的研究调查了对疫苗犹豫不决如何影响已接种 COVID-19 疫苗的个体的抑郁、焦虑和外伤应激的临床水平。

方法

我们分析了从 254 名接种疫苗的人那里获得的数据，并评估了疫苗犹豫、抑郁、焦虑和创伤性痛苦，以及一些人口统计、健康和 COVID-19 相关因素。

结果

逻辑回归表明，除了社会人口统计学、健康和 COVID-19 相关因素之外，对 COVID-19 疫苗犹豫不决是焦虑、抑郁和创伤后痛苦最突出的危险因素。研究发现，对疫苗的犹豫程度越高，患抑郁症和创伤性应激的风险就会增加一倍 (ORs > 2)，而患焦虑症的风险会增加三倍 (OR > 3)。

限制

横截面设计；一项需要进一步调查的初步研究

结论

这项研究指出了疫苗接种人群对疫苗犹豫的重要性，并提供了有关其与负面精神结果相关的知识。这些发现可能为医疗保健从业者和政策制定者提供重要信息，以鼓励他们接种 COVID-19 疫苗，并强调有必要进一步了解接种疫苗的个体中精神病发病率的潜在机制。
