The sample consisted of 135 immigration screening officers stationed at international communicable disease control checkpoints in Chiang Rai Province, selected by simple random sampling. Data collection tools included a personal information recording form, a questionnaire on perceptions of the severity of COVID-19 disease, a questionnaire on perceptions of the risk of COVID-19 disease, a questionnaire on confidence in the outcomes of practice, a self-efficacy confidence questionnaire, and the COVID-19 vaccine decision-making behavior questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation coefficients. </p> <p>The results showed that the COVID-19 risk perception score was at a high level, while the perceived severity of COVID-19 disease 19, confidence in the outcomes of self- care practices, self-efficacy, and COVID-19 vaccine decision-making behavior were at a moderate level. Additionally, factors including the perceived severity of COVID-19 and the perceived risk of COVID-19 had a moderate positive correlation with COVID-19 vaccine decision-making behavior (r = 0.32 and 0.41; <em>p-value</em> &lt; 0.001, respectively). For the factors related to confidence in the outcomes of self-care practices and self-efficacy, there was a strong positive correlation with COVID-19 vaccine decision-making behavior (r = 0.74 and 0.70; <em>p-value</em> &lt; 0.001, respectively). The results of this study can be used to develop models to motivate disease prevention behavior for COVID-19 by enhancing individuals' awareness of the severity and risk of COVID-19 and fostering confidence in the outcomes of self-care practices, leading to booster vaccine uptake after the termination of the emergency status.</p> Nuttapol Chaihan Kanlaya Munluan Jitprapa Rungruang Pennapa Lafauy Anucha Wimoonchart Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Nursing and Public Health Research https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2024-09-10 2024-09-10 4 3 e267603 e267603
