Use of Regular Vaccination Schedule in Hemodialysis Patients and Awareness

Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the extent of use of regular vaccination schedule, the extent of hepatitis B vaccinations before dialysis and the awareness of patients on this matter in hemodialysis patients.

Method: The population of this descriptive study consisted of patients treated in a total of 26 centers in six provinces (n=353), and patients who were willing to participate in the study (n=246) comprised the sample.

Results: Mean age of the patients was 57.26±14, and 35.4% had an influenza+ hepatitis B vaccine, 35% only had a hepatitis-B vaccine, and 56.9% had a hepatitis B vaccine 1-6 years before starting to receive dialysis. There was a statistically significant difference between the status of getting vaccinated regularly, age, the status of having received training on vaccination, the status of knowing which vaccines to have (p<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between the status of having hepatitis B vaccine before starting dialysis and the status of having received training on vaccination, and the person who gave the training (p<0.05).

Conclusion: It was determined that the rate of vaccination of patients from the group who received training on vaccines from a nurse and the rate of patients who had Hepatitis B vaccine before starting dialysis were high.

Hemodiyaliz Hastalarında Düzenli Aşı Takvimi Kullanımı ve Farkındalıkları

Abstract

Amaç: Hemodiyaliz hastalarında düzenli aşı takviminin kullanılma durumunun, diyaliz öncesi hepatit B aşısını yaptırma durumunun ve hastaların bu konudaki farkındalığının belirlenmesi amacı ile yapılmıştır.

Metot: Tanımlayıcı nitelikte olan bu çalışmanın evrenini altı ilde bulunan toplam 26 merkezde tedavi gören hastalar (n=353), örneklemini ise araştırmaya katılmaya gönüllü hastalar (n=246) oluşturmuştur. Veriler “kişisel bilgi formu” kullanılarak yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile elde edilmiştir.

Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması 57,26 ± 14 olan hastaların, %35,4’ünün grip + hepatit B aşısını yaptırdığı, %35‘inin sadece hepatit-B aşısı yaptırdığı, %56,9’unun ise hepatit B aşısını diyalize başlamadan 1-6 yıl önce yaptırdığı tespit edilmiştir. Hastaların düzenli aşı yaptırma durumu ile yaş, aşı yaptırma konusunda eğitim alma durumu, hangi aşıları mutlaka yapılmasını bilme durumu arasında istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı farklılık vardır (p<0.05). Hepatit B aşısını diyalize başlamadan önce yaptırma durumu ile aşı konusunda eğitim alma durumu ve eğitimi kimden aldığı arasında istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı farklılık vardır (p<0.05).

Sonuç: Aşılar konusunda hemşireden eğitim alan grubun aşı yaptırma oranının ve hepatit B aşısının diyalize başlamadan önce yaptırma oranlarının yüksek olduğu saptandı.
