Disinformation : A factor in relation to guardians’ attitudes toward vaccination of children (English)
Abstract [sv]

Introduktion: Desinformation är ett område inom folkhälsa som har ökat i omfattning i takt med den digitaliserade utvecklingen i samhället. Vaccinationer av barn där vårdnadshavare har det avgörande beslutstagandet kan påverkas av den information de har tillgänglig via digitala medieplattformar. Den socioekonomiska situationen hos individer kan ses som en påverkande faktor, både i relation till desinformation och till vaccinationsfrekvensen av barn och ämnena i relation till varandra är därför värda att undersöka.

Syfte: Studien syftar till att granska befintliga studier för att undersöka hur desinformation på digitala medieplattformar påverkar vårdnadshavares attityder kring vaccinationer av barn inom olika socioekonomiska grupper.

Metod: En strukturerad litteraturstudie baserad på 21 vetenskapliga originalartiklar hämtade från de elektroniska databaserna Web of Science, CINAHL, PubMed, EBSCOhost och Libsearch. Kvalitetsgranskningen genomfördes med checklistor från CASP, Strobe och EQUATOR. Det utfördes en tematisk analys utifrån Braun & Clarke (2006).

Resultat: Resultatet baserades på 21 vetenskapliga artiklar, där tre huvudteman framkom - Attityder till vaccination, Informationskällor gällande vaccinering samt Faktorer som skyddar mot påverkan av desinformation.

Slutsats: Det framkom att desinformation på digitala medieplattformar hade en betydande negativ påverkan på vårdnadshavares attityder inom olika socioekonomiska grupper, vilket påverkade deras beslutstagande gällande vaccinering av barn. Den mest betydelsefulla socioekonomiska faktorn för påverkan av attityder visade sig vara utbildningsnivån inom olika befolkningsgrupper, samt att utbildningsnivån även visade sig vara den största skyddande faktorn mot desinformation. Vidare forskning bör utföras för att få en större kunskap inom ämnet samt att det finns ett behov av ytterligare forskning eftersom området är relativt outforskat.

Abstract [en]

Introduction: Disinformation is an area within public health that has grown with the digitized development in society. Vaccinations of children where guardians have the ultimate decision-making power may be influenced by the information available through digital media platforms. The socio-economic situation of individuals can be seen as an influencing factor, both in relation to disinformation and to the vaccination frequency of children, and the subjects in relation to each other are therefore worth investigating.

Aim: The study aims to review existing studies to see how disinformation on digital media platforms affects guardians' attitudes towards childhood vaccinations within different socio-economic groups.

Method: A structured literature review based on 21 scientific original articles retrieved from the electronic databases Web of Science, CINAHL, PubMed, EBSCOhost and Libsearch. The quality review was carried out using checklists from CASP, Strobe and EQUATOR. A thematic analysis based on Braun & Clarke (2006) was performed.

Results: The result was based on 21 scientific articles, where three main themes emerged - Attitudes towards vaccination, Sources of information regarding vaccination and Factors that protect against the influence of disinformation.

Conclusion: It emerged that disinformation on digital media platforms had a negative impact on the attitudes of guardians within different socio-economic groups, which affected their decision-making regarding vaccination of children. The most significant socio-economic factor for influencing attitudes was found to be the level of education within different population groups, and that the level of education was found to be the greatest protective factor against disinformation. Further research should be carried out to gain greater knowledge within the subject and that there is a need for further research as the area is relatively unexplored.
