Abstract

Amaç: Pandemide sağlık çalışanlarının COVID-19 hastalığı ve aşısıyla ilgili yaklaşım ve davranışlarını belirlemek.
Materyal-Metot: Çalışma, 1-31 Mart 2022 tarihlerinde hastanede görevli sağlık çalışanlarına COVID-19 enfeksiyonu ve aşılarıyla ilgili yaklaşım ve davranışlarını sorgulayan 44 soruluk ankete Whatsapp aplikasyonu üzerinden verdikleri cevaplar toplanarak yapıldı.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan 311 sağlık personelinin 209’u kadındı. (%67,2). Ortanca yaşları 36 idi. Katılımcıların 203’ü (%65,3) üniversite mezunu, 159’u (%51,1) hekimdi. Kronik hastalığı olan 51 olgu (%16,4) vardı. Sağlık çalışanlarından COVID-19 enfeksiyonu geçiren 141 (%45,3), ailesinden biri enfeksiyonu geçiren 176 (%56,6), ailesinden biri enfeksiyona bağlı yoğun bakımda kalan 23 (%7,4) ve ailesinden biri enfeksiyona bağlı vefat eden 22 (%7,1) kişiydi. Aşı olan 304 (%97,7) sağlık çalışanından 211’inde (%67,8) en az bir yan etki gelişti. En sık görülen yan etki 156’sında (%73,9) halsizlikti ve en sık yan etki Biontech (%59,8) ile görüldü. Seçenek olsaydı %70,1’i Biontech aşısının ilk tercihleri olacağını belitti. Turkovac aşısına güvenen 131 (%42,1) kişi vardı. Toplum sağlığı açısından aşının zorunlu olması gerektiğini düşünenlerin oranı %83,3, COVID-19 aşısı ile pandeminin biteceğine inananlar %58,8 ve hasta sayısının azalacağına inananlar %80,4 idi. Sağlık çalışanlarında aşıya karşı kararsızlığı arttıran nedenler arasında en sık aşıların yan etkilerine yönelik duyulan endişe (%74) yer alıyordu. Hekim grubunda çocuğuna aşı yaptırma, aşı ile pandeminin biteceği inancı, aşı ile hasta sayısının azalacağı inancı ve yakınlarınıza aşı önerir misiniz sorununa pozitif cevap verenlerin oranı istatistiksel olarak daha yüksekti
Sonuç: Sağlık çalışanları arasında COVID-19 aşısı olma oranı ve Biontech aşısına olan güven yüksekti. Bunun sebebi COVID-19 aşısı ile pandeminin biteceği veya hasta sayısının azalacağı inancının yüksek olması olabilir.

Approach and Behaviors of Healthcare Professionals in a Tertiary Hospital About COVID-19 Infection and Vaccination

Year 2022, Volume: 13 Issue: 3, 374 - 381, 20.12.2022
https://doi.org/10.22312/sdusbed.1112053

Abstract

Objective: To determine the approaches and behaviors of healthcare professionals regarding COVID-19 disease and vaccination during the pandemic.
Material-method: The study was carried out by collecting the answers of the healthcare professionals working at the hospital through WhatsApp application. This was done via 44-question survey questioning their approaches and behaviors regarding COVID-19 infection and vaccines between 1-31 March 2022.
Results: 209 of 311 health workers participating in the study were female (67.2%). The median age was 36 years. Of the participants, 203 (65.3%) were university graduates and 159 (51.1%) were physicians. There were 51 persons (16.4%) with chronic disease. Of the healthcare workers, 141 (45.3%) had COVID-19 infection, and 176 (56.6%) had a family member with COVID-19 infection. There were 23 (7.4%) family members who stayed in the intensive care unit due to infection, and 22 (7.1%) whose family members died. At least one side effect developed in 211 (67.8%) of 304 (97.7%) healthcare workers who were vaccinated. The most common side effect was fatigue in 156 (73.9%) and the most common side effect was seen with Biontech (59.8%). If there was an option, 70.1% stated that Biontech vaccine would be their first choice. There were 131 (42.1%) people who relied on the Turkovac vaccine. The rate of those who thought that the vaccine should be mandatory in terms of public health was 83.3%, those who believed that the pandemic would end with the vaccine, 58.8%, and 80.4% believed that the number of patients would decrease. Among the reasons that increased indecision towards COVID-19 vaccines in healthcare workers, side effects of the vaccines was the most common concern with 74%. In the physician group, the rate of those who answered positively to the question of having their children vaccinated, the belief that the pandemic will end with the vaccine, the belief that the number of patients will decrease with the vaccine, and the question "Would you recommend vaccines to your relatives" was statistically higher
Conclusion: Among healthcare workers, the rate of being vaccinated against COVID-19 and confidence in Bionthec vaccine was high. The belief that the pandemic will end or the number of patients will decrease with the COVID-19 vaccine may be a factor in this high rate.
