Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the sociodemographic characteristics and health belief related to rotavirus vaccination behavior among mothers of infants.
Methods: Data collection was performed through an on-line survey between 13 and 16 October, 2016, and the subjects targeted were 240 mothers with infants between the ages of 8 months and 12 months. The collected data were analyzed using χ² test, Fisher's Exact test, ANOVA, and Logistic Regression with SPSS 23.0 program.
Results: The complete rotavirus vaccination rate was 76.7%, the incomplete vaccination rate was 9.2%, and the
non-vaccination rate was 14.2%. Factors associated with complete rotavirus vaccination were the mother’s age (OR=3.306, 95% CI=1.087 to 10.054), the perceived benefits (OR=6.500, 95% CI=2.163 to 19.528) and the self-efficacy (OR=11.568, 95% CI=2.921 to 45.818), and approximately 40.8% of explanation power was observed.
Conclusion: To increase the rotavirus vaccination rate, counseling and education by nurses should be performed to
increase the self-efficacy and public awareness of the benefits of rotavirus vaccination for mothers with infants.
