20.500.12556/RUL-174189 Vaccine hesitancy in public healthcare during pandemics an international study to inform management learning Background: This paper explores vaccine hesitancy through the lens of management learning in public healthcare during pandemics. It addresses the need for qualitative insights from active academics, focusing on their uncertainties and ambivalence regarding COVID‐19 vaccination. The study aims to deepen understanding of vaccine hesitancy during the pandemic from a management learning perspective, examining healthcare systems, governance, and community trust. Methods: Using a qualitative approach, the research draws from a multidisciplinary research network in health and digital society. A total of 27 scholars from 17 countries participated in an open‐ended questionnaire designed to elicit insights on the strategies, ethics, and public responses associated with national COVID‐19 vaccination efforts. Data collection occurred from May 2021 to July 2021, during the initial rollout of vaccines to broader populations. The analysis employed a hermeneutical framework, using thematic analysis to interpret textual data. Illustrative accounts enriched the contextual understanding. Results: The resulting themes are information and disinformation; social inclusion and exclusion; trust and distrust; individual liberties and collective constraints. The findings indicate that individual nations actions play a role in shaping public discourse, opinion, and political responses related to vaccination, despite a globalized context. The analysis reveals that historical and political factors significantly influence public health policies and perceptions of vaccine hesitancy, together with the importance of information and dialogue with various stakeholders to create trust. Conclusions: The COVID‐19 crisis, characterized by threats and uncertainties, has strained trust in public health institutions. A management learning perspective can be adopted that embraces a comprehensive understanding of the complexities sur- rounding COVID‐19 vaccination. By fostering collaborative learning and stakeholder engagement, public health organizations can enhance their responsiveness and build trust within communities. management learning public health qualitative research trust vaccine hesitancy cepljenje proti covidu-19 javno zdravje zaupanje true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-09-30 04:38:04 2025-09-30 10:43:26 2025-11-17 04:07:45 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 13 str. issue 8, [article no.] e71190 Vol. 8 Aug. 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 614.47:616.98:578.834 2398-8835 10.1002/hsr2.71190 248780803 Nardoni_et_al_HSR.pdf Nardoni_et_al_HSR.pdf 1 01887A792B6F8796B2398DF1968F7F6E 2456d372e7ae60d950e5af05882f79dcf77476a9109971d4e0b8b8d1b3f515a0 1098e452-9dd6-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=219006 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/hsr2.71190 0 209b0fbe-9dd6-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=219008 Fakulteta za družbene vede 0 0 0
