Abstract

Introduction: Vaccines play a critical role in preventing deaths caused by infectious diseases. This study aimed to predict COVID-19 Vaccine Acceptance Based on Personality traits, Self-care Behaviors, and Social capital. Methods: The present study is a descriptive and correlational study, which was conducted by office staff in the Ahvaz education organization using an available method. The questionnaires were completed online in the fall of 1400 and the number of people present in this research is 169 people. Were used to collect data from Hexaco 60 questionnaires (Ashton and Lee, 2004), Social capital (Putnam, 2000), self-care behaviors (Pouyanfard, 2020), and a short researcher-made questionnaire (Corona vaccine acceptance). Results: The results of data analyses showed that personality traits (consciousness and neuroticism), Self-care Behaviors, and social capital are the best predictors of COVID-19 Vaccine Acceptance. Conclusion: According to the findings, designing programs to increase the vaccination rate and appropriate psychological strategies and techniques is essential to enhancing the responsibility of the community in terms of trust in vaccination and strengthening the behavior of participating in people.
