Abstract

Bu çalışmada bir eğitim ve araştırma hastanesindeki araştırma görevlisi doktor ve ebe/hemşirelerin aşı kararsızlığına yaklaşımlarını değerlendirmek amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırma tanımlayıcı tipte olup, 263 katılımcı üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler 14 sorudan oluşan anket ile gözlem altında toplanmıştır. Araştırmaya katılanların %74.9’u kadın, %57.4’ü araştırma görevlisi doktordur. Katılımcıların %10.3’ü tüm aşı içeriklerini bildiklerini ifade etmiştir. Araştırma görevlisi doktorların %88.1’i, hemşire/ebelerin %50.9’u her zaman hastalarını risk grubuna ve yaşına uygun aşıları yaptırmaları için yönlendirdiğini belirtmiştir (p<0.001). Katılımcıların %52.5 aşı kararsızlığındaki kişileri kesinlikle haksız bulduklarını ifade etmektedirler. Aile hekimliği bölümünde çalışanların %50’si aşı yaptırmayı kabul etmeyen bir hastayı aşı yaptırana kadar ikna etmeye çalıştığını, %43’ü gerekliliğini anlatıp, yaptırıp yaptırmamayı kişilere bıraktığını ifade etmektedir (bölümler arası p=0.037). Bilgi düzeyini iyi (%86.7) olarak ifade edenlerin hastalarını her zaman aşıya yönlendirme durumu da bilgi düzeyini orta (%30.5) ve kötü (%11.1) olarak değerlendirenlere göre daha yüksekti. Son zamanlarda aşı kararsızlığının en önemli nedeni sorusuna en sık olarak sosyal medya (%37.7), aşı kararsızlığını azaltmak için neler yapılması gerektiği sorusuna halk eğitimleri arttırılması gerektiği (%81.0) şeklinde cevap vermişlerdir. Sağlık çalışanları arasında daha yüksek bilgi, farkındalık ve tutumlar daha yüksek toplumsal ve bireysel aşılama niyeti ile ilişkilendirilebilir.

APPROACHES OF EDUCATION AND RESEARCH HOSPITAL RESEARCH OFFICER DOCTOR AND NURSE/MIBES TO VACCINE HESITANCY

Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the approaches of research assistant doctors and midwives/nurses in a training and research hospital to vaccine hesitancy. The research is of descriptive type and was carried out on 263 participants. The data were collected under observation with a questionnaire consisting of 14 items. Of the research participants, 74.9% are women, and 57.4% are research assistant doctors, 10.3% of the participants stated that they knew all the vaccine contents, 88.1% of the research assistant doctors and 50.9% of the nurses/midwives stated that they always directed their patients to have vaccines appropriate for their risk group and age (p<0.001), 52.5% of the participants stated that those who were hesitant about vaccination were absolutely are absolutely unjustified, 50% of the staff working in the family medicine department state that they try to persuade a patient who refuses to get vaccinated until they get vaccinated, 43% state that they explain its necessity and leave it to the individual’s discretion whether to have it or not (inter-segment p=0.037). The percentage of those who regarded their knowledge level as good (86.7%) and always referred their patients to vaccination were higher than those who evaluated their knowledge level as moderate (30.5%) and poor (11.1%). Recently, the question of the most important reason for vaccine hesitancy was answered by social media (37.7%), and the question of what should be done to reduce vaccine hesitancy was to increase public education (81.0%). Higher knowledge, awareness and attitudes among healthcare professionals may be associated with higher societal and individual vaccination intentions.
