Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada 18-65 yaş arası hastalarda sosyodemografik faktörler ve COVID19 korkusu düzeylerinin, COVID-19 aşılanma durumu ile ilişkisini incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Çalışma örneklemi bir üniversite hastanesinin Aile Hekimliği Polikliniklerine 01.03.2022-01.06.2022 tarihleri arasında başvuran 18-65 yaş arası 866 hastadan oluşmaktadır. Veri toplamada Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve COVID-19 Korkusu Ölçeği kullanıldı. Ölçekten alınan puan arttıkça COVID-19 korkusu düzeyi yükselmektedir. Çalışmanın analizleri SPSS 21.0 paket programında yapıldı. Karşılaştırmalarda Kruskal Wallis testi ve Mann Whitney U testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılanların %52.,3’ü kadındı ve yaş ortalaması 36.,59±12.,32 yıldı. Erkeklerle karşılaştırıldığında kadınların koronavirüs korkusu düzeyi istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde daha fazlaydı. Hiç aşı yaptırmayanlarla karşılaştırıldığında en az bir doz aşı yaptıranların ve sadece bir doz aşı yaptıranlarla karşılaştırıldığında, daha fazla doz aşı yaptıranların koronavirüs korkusu düzeyleri istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde daha yüksek bulundu. Sonuç: COVID-19 korkusu düzeyi yükseldikçe bireylerin aşı olma davranışlarının pozitif yönde etkilendiği belirlendi. COVID-19 aşı ile önlenebilir bir hastalıktır. Sağlık hizmeti verilen tüm kurumlarda aşılama ile COVID-19 pandemisinin neden olabileceği morbidite, mortalitenin yanı sıra ekonomik ve sosyal kayıpların önüne geçilmesi mümkün olacaktır.

Abstract

Objective: This study has aimed to examine the relationship between sociodemographic factors and COVID-19 fear levels in patients aged 18-65 years and their COVID-19 vaccination status. Method: The study sample consists of 866 patients aged 18-65 who applied to the Family Medicine Polyclinics of a university hospital between 01.03.2022 and 01.06.2022. Personal Information Form and Fear of COVID-19 Scale were used to collect data. As the score obtained from the scale increases, the level of fear of COVID19 increases. The analyzes of the study were done in SPSS 21.0 package program. Kruskal Wallis test and Mann Whitney U test were used for comparisons. Results: 52.3% of the participants in the study were women and the mean age was 36.59±12.32 years. Compared to men, women's fear of coronavirus was statistically significantly higher. The coronavirus fear levels of those who received at least one dose of vaccine compared to those who did not get vaccinated at all and those who received more doses of vaccines compared to those who received only one dose were found to be statistically significantly higher. Conclusion: As the level of fear of COVID-19 increased, it was determined that the vaccination behavior of individuals was positively affected. COVID-19 is a vaccine preventable disease. With vaccination in all healthcare institutions, it will be possible to prevent morbidity and mortality, as well as economic and social losses that may be caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
