Abstract

Public rejection and hesitation towards vaccination continue to increase. Based on data from the West Java Provincial Health Office, various obstacles hinder vaccination coverage in the region. This study aims to identify and analyze the factors that influence people's risk perception and risk tolerance in making decisions related to vaccination during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in Bandung City, the largest city in West Java. This research uses a qualitative method with a constructivist paradigm and a case study approach. The research subjects consisted of 12 Bandung residents who refused or hesitated to vaccinate and were selected through a purposive sampling technique. Primary data was obtained through in-depth interviews, while secondary data was collected from documentation studies, literature, and other supporting sources. The results showed that risk perception towards vaccination is influenced by several aspects, such as underestimating the danger of the virus and distrusting the government, lack of understanding about the virus and vaccines, belief in the haram status of vaccines and conspiracy theories, personal experiences related to negative impacts on loved ones or livelihoods, and concerns about side effects and vaccine effectiveness. Meanwhile, risk tolerance is influenced by subjective and socioeconomic aspects. These factors play a major role in the lack of changes in health behavior in the future, especially in decisions related to vaccination.

Abstract

Digital traces of mental health conversations on social media X have become a new culture, especially for the young generation. This study aimed to explain the network, themes and comment of social media discussion posts about mental health in Indonesia. This study has focused on each conversation in the form of tweets using big data analysis from posts with containing keyword related and specific criteria on the theme of mental health. This research was collected 15,200 mental health-themed discussions on X. Further, the researcher conducted a selection based on engagement and specific criteria through the NoLimit tool in 2021. A total of 4969 threads were analyzed further. As a result, researchers found a network that formed 3 clusters, namely the Stress cluster, Depression cluster, and Bipolar cluster. Apart from that, three big themes were found that represent every conversation on social media X in Indonesia, namely, (1) The Story of Survivors, (2) Mental Health as a Trend and Fashion, (3) Stress, Anxiety, or just a Gerd? Through the study of netnography, it is revealed that social media serves as a community's backbone while also perpetuating stigma related to mental health issues. Mental health in Indonesia is still an issue that does not get serious attention, even though the number of cases of mental disorders continues to increase.
