Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2023, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The rapid spread of COVID-19 threatened and endangered the lives as well as the well-being of the people. In particular, the vulnerable population suffered more losses than anybody else due to social and economic problems caused by it on a vast scale throughout the world. The purpose of this study is to examine the severity perception of novel coronavirus on attitudes towards vaccination and safety measures. To obtain an overall image, the present cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted. Data for the study was collected online from a sample of 368 respondents from the whole province of Balochistan using a closed-ended Likert scale questionnaire. As expected by the conceptual framework, the correlation between severity perception and safety attitude, as well as the relationship between severity perception and attitude towards vaccination, was found to be positive. Moreover, the correlation between both of the hypotheses was also positive.
