摘要 本研究試圖瞭解台灣地區民眾看了新流感(H1N1 flu)相關新聞報導之後,是否存有「樂觀偏誤」心態?以及樂觀偏誤、自我效能及社會信任是否會影響新流感疫苗接種意願?透過網絡問卷,本研究針對台灣地區民眾進行調查,調查期間由2009年12月24日至2010年1月31日,共回收662份有效問卷。結果發現,受訪者認為自己罹患新流感的可能性較身邊其他人來得低;樂觀偏誤及自我效能分別負向地預測受訪者接種新流感疫苗的意願;至於社會信任則正向地預測受訪者接種新流感疫苗的意願。
本研究因此建議,台灣政府必須降低民眾的樂觀偏誤、不切實際的自我效能以及強化社會信任,以提升民眾接種H1N1疫苗的意願。特別是本研究發現,社會信任是影響民眾是否願意接種H1N1疫苗的重要因素,社會信任感往往不容易建立,卻很容易崩解,衛政單位未來如要解決社會信任感問題,有必要培養一群具有健康傳播及風險溝通能力的團隊,當爆發某一流行疾病時,此一團隊可以立即啟動溝通機制,規劃有效的衛教宣導活動,並將醫界的疾病知識轉化為民眾有能力理解的訊息,以增進民眾對於流行疾病的瞭解,並降低醫界、公衛界及民眾之間的誤解。
Abstract This survey aims to explore the phenomenon of optimistic bias after reading or viewing news reports regarding H1N1 influenza, and the influence of optimistic bias, self-efficacy, and social trust on intentions to receive the H1N1 vaccine in Taiwanese subjects threatened by the H1N1 influenza pandemic. An Internet-based study was conducted in Taiwan between December 24, 2009 and January 31, 2010. 662 respondents completed the questionnaire on the Internet. The results showed that optimistic bias existed amongst the sample. Optimistic bias and self-efficacy significantly and negatively predicted intentions to receive the H1N1 vaccine, while social trust significantly and positively predicted such intentions. This study suggests that the Taiwanese government needs to reduce the phenomenon of optimistic bias and unrealistic self-efficacy, reinforce social trust, and foster effective communication of information about health, in order to improve intentions to receive the H1N1 vaccine. In particular, this study finds that social trust is one of the most important determinants of intentions to receive the H1N1 vaccine. Social trust is not easy to establish, but it is easy to lose. In order to establish social trust, government and public health professionals need to pay more attention to health risk communication. A work team, taking care of public education about health risks, must engage in health and risk communication, and develop effective health and risk communication campaigns as an epidemic breaks out. By doing so, people will get a chance to understand more about epidemics, and misunderstandings will be eliminated among medical and public health professionals, as well as lay people.
