The outcome variable was caregivers' intention to vaccinate their children.
The factors were the caregivers' intention to use (intended duration), the caregivers' acceptance of technology, and the clinical needs of the caregivers.
Secondary outcomes include caregivers' knowledge of vaccination, caregivers' intention to vaccinate their children, caregivers' satisfaction with the intervention and cost of the interventions.
Research question 4 explored how such determinants play a differential role in predicting caregivers' intention to vaccinate their children depending on the children's age.
Lastly, we further examine how such determinants play differential roles in predicting caregivers' intention to vaccinate their children depending on the children's age (RQ4).
This study examined how knowledge, risk perception, health beliefs and multidimensional health locus of control (HLC) were associated with caregivers' intention to vaccinate their child, and how these associations varied across child age groups.
The change from baseline to post-intervention assessment (six months) on the ZBI (primary outcome) will be compared between treatment groups using t-tests for independent samples on all randomised informal caregivers (intention-to-treat population).
8 If access to a good-quality healthcare system is not the issue, internal factors such as knowledge, perceptions and beliefs may be more important than environmental considerations in determining caregivers' intention to vaccinate their child.
Detailed demographic information is presented in table 2. The outcome variable in this study is caregivers' intention to vaccinate their children, and the major predictors are vaccination knowledge, risk perceptions, health beliefs and HLC.
More analytical sub-themes were identified in relation to inter-personal processes and dynamics of care, relating, for example, to caregivers' personal intentions, motivations, and the content of social interactions with the care recipients.
