Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Vaccine hesitancy is a world-wide public health problem still persisting despite the mounting scientific evidence of the positive effects of vaccines on community health. The prevalence and causes vary based on cultural and sociological characteristics. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the situation of vaccine acceptance among parents who gave birth in our hospital.
METHODS: This study is a retrospective descriptive study. The medical and vaccination records of mothers and babies born between June 2017 and June 2022 at Istanbul Medipol University Education and Research Hospital were examined. Socio-demographic data, mother's age, prenatal, natal and postnatal history, baby's gender, birth weight, vaccines and vitamin K status were recorded on the data form. SPSS software was used for statistical analysis.
RESULTS: The total number of births in our hospital over a 5-year period was calculated as 15,417. The population of the study was made up of 192 (1.24%) cases, registered in epicrisis and infant birth records as vaccine refusal. The mean age of mothers was 30.72 (min: 20; max: 45) and the mean gestation week was 38.28 weeks (min: 32; max: 42; missing: 22). mean birth weight of the babies was 3008.78 grams and 56.25% of the babies were male. Considering vitamin K administration status of the cases, 61.73% (n: 121) did not accept.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Vaccination is the most effective method of preventing infectious diseases. Vaccination, one of the basic elements of preventive medicine in child health monitoring, should be carried out uninterruptedly. As a result, vaccine hesitancy rates can be reduced by partnering with each healthcare worker in solution strategies to increase vaccine acceptance. Education and awareness studies are also needed in this regard.

Yenidoğan Döneminde Ebeveyn Aşı Kabulü ve Reddi; Tek Merkezli Retrospektif Çalışma

Year 2024, Volume: 10 Issue: 2, 261 - 264, 01.05.2024
https://doi.org/10.53394/akd.1246496

Abstract

GİRİŞ ve AMAÇ: Aşı kararsızlığı, aşıların toplum sağlığı üzerindeki olumlu etkilerine dair artan bilimsel kanıtlara rağmen hala devam eden dünya çapında bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Yaygınlık ve nedenleri kültürel ve sosyolojik özelliklere göre değişir. Çalışmamızda hastanemizde doğum yapan ebeveynlerin aşı kabul durumlarını değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.
YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: Bu çalışma retrospektif tanımlayıcı bir çalışmadır. İstanbul Medipol Üniversitesi Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi'nde Haziran 2017 ile Haziran 2022 tarihleri arasında doğan anne ve bebeklerin sağlık ve aşı kayıtları incelendi. Veri formuna sosyo-demografik veriler, annenin yaşı, doğum öncesi, doğum ve doğum sonrası öyküsü, bebeğin cinsiyeti, doğum ağırlığı, aşıları ve K vitamini durumu kaydedildi. İstatistiksel analiz için SPSS yazılımı kullanıldı.
BULGULAR: Hastanemizde 5 yıllık dönemde gerçekleşen toplam doğum sayısı 15.417 idi. Araştırmanın evrenini epikriz ve bebek doğum kayıtlarında aşı red formu imzalamış olarak kayıtlı olan 192 (%1,24) olgu oluşturdu. Annelerin ortalama yaşı 30,72 (min: 20; max: 45), ortalama gebelik haftası 38,28 hafta (min: 32; max: 42; eksik: 22) idi. bebeklerin ortalama doğum ağırlığı 3008,78 gram olup, bebeklerin %56,25'i erkekti. Olguların K vitamini uygulama durumuna bakıldığında %61,73 (n: 121) kabul etmediği kayıtlı idi.
TARTIŞMA ve SONUÇ: Aşılama bulaşıcı hastalıklardan korunmanın en etkili yöntemidir. Çocuk sağlığı takibinde koruyucu hekimliğin temel unsurlarından biri olan aşılama kesintisiz olarak yapılmalıdır. Sonuç olarak, aşı kabulünü artırmaya yönelik çözüm stratejilerinde her sağlık çalışanı ile ortaklaşa çalışarak aşı tereddüt oranları azaltılabilir. Bu konuda eğitim ve bilinçlendirme çalışmalarına da ihtiyaç vardır.
