Abstract

Background & Aim: Amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, vaccine hesitancy persists, especially within specific demographics. This study delved into vaccine hesitancy among Northern Mindanao, Philippines, residents aged 20 to 64, aiming to understand factors shaping vaccination decisions. Employing the Health Belief Model, the research sought to dispel misconceptions and bolster vaccine uptake through evidence-based public health education and improved communication strategies. By examining socio-demographic variables like age, gender, education, religion, and vaccination status, the study informed targeted interventions for enhancing vaccine acceptance and bolstering community health outcomes. Methods: This study employed a quantitative, descriptive-correlational design and analyzed vaccine hesitancy factors among Northern Mindanao, Philippines residents aged 20 to 64. Stratified sampling ensured representative inclusion across age groups, with a sample size of 372 respondents. Statistical analyses, including F-tests and ANOVA, assessed hesitancy differences, while stringent adherence to data privacy regulations safeguarded participant confidentiality. Results: Among respondents, those aged 51 to 69 exhibited the highest vaccine hesitancy levels, particularly regarding uncertainty and knowledge about COVID-19 vaccines. However, no significant relationship was found between hesitancy levels and age or gender. Conversely, significant disparities in hesitancy were observed concerning educational attainment, religion, and vaccination status. Conclusion: While age, gender, education, and religion are associated with varying levels of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, none singularly determine hesitancy. Enhanced education and knowledge about vaccines correlate with decreased hesitancy, emphasizing the necessity of targeted education initiatives. However, significant hesitancy disparities based on vaccination status underscore the ongoing challenge of addressing hesitancy despite reassurances about vaccine safety. Recommendation: Implementing tailored educational programs that address specific concerns related to demographic factors is recommended as a crucial strategy for reducing COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy

Abstract

Background & Aim: Eating behaviors are vital health indicators, particularly among young adults aged 20-37, warranting attention in communities like Barangay Indahag, Philippines. This study analyzed how demographic factors influence eating habits in this context. Utilizing Sister Callista Roy's Adaptation Model, associations between gender, occupation, socio-economic status, physical activity, and food choices were explored to inform interventions promoting healthier eating. Methods & Materials: Employing a descriptive-correlational research design. Surveys and a modified questionnaire based on the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire collected data on restrained, emotional, and external eating behaviors. Statistical analyses, including the F-test, ANOVA, and T-tests, identified significant associations between demographic variables and eating behaviors. Results: Gender differences were significant, with females exhibiting higher levels of restrained eating while males showed more external and emotional eating behaviors. Females tended to be more weight and appearance-conscious, while males leaned towards indulging in appealing food options. No significant disparities were found based on occupation, socio-economic status, or weekly physical activity. Conclusion: Most respondents were females, unemployed, and had low incomes, engaging primarily in household physical activities and consuming high-calorie foods. Predominantly exhibiting External Eating Behavior, restrained eating was rare, and emotional eating was absent. Recommendation: Clinical practitioners in Barangay Indahag should prioritize interventions aimed at addressing gender-specific eating behaviors, such as restrained eating among females and external/emotional eating among males, to promote healthier eating habits and reduce the risk of eating disorders.
