The sample group was 172 parents, calculated by the G*Power program. The tool used was a questionnaire, received the IOC between 0.67-1.00 and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient. at 0.85. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics: frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation.
The analysis of cognitive factors affecting the decision to vaccinate against COVID-19 using step-by-step multiplicative regression showed as follows:
1. Factors of awareness of vaccination against COVID-19 in children aged 6 months to 4 years, the overview of each aspect and each item were at a high level.
2. The decision to vaccinate against COVID-19 in children aged 6 months to 4 years, the overview of each aspect and each item were at a high level.
3. Factors influencing the decision to vaccinate against COVID-19 were the perceived benefits of the vaccine (Beta=.358) and the safety and side effects of the vaccine (Beta=.176). The variance was 55.60% (adj.R2 = .556, p < .001), with a statistical significance at the .001 level and a standard error of prediction of .29396.
