Effectiveness of Group and Individual Counselling Interventions on COVID-19 Vaccination Intention Among Industrial Employees in Romania
This study highlights the effectiveness of dual interventions involving family doctors and occupational medicine specialists in reducing COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among industrial workers in Romania. Key factors influencing hesitancy included demographic characteristics (age, marital status) and social determinants (education level, anti-vaccine beliefs, parenthood, and chronic illness). The findings emphasize the role of trusted healthcare professionals in addressing these concerns through targeted communication strategies, such as motivational interviewing.
