Amaç: Bu çalışmada, Samsun ilindeki aile sağlığı merkezlerinde görev alan sağlık çalışanlarının çocukluk çağı aşı tereddüdü ile karşılaşma sıklığı, nedenleri ve çözüm önerilerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kesitsel tipte bir çalışmadır. Samsun’da Mayıs-Eylül 2021’de online bir anket ile yürütülmüştür. Çalışmaya 165 aile hekimi, 131 aile sağlığı çalışanı katılmıştır. Bu çalışma kapsamında, aile sağlığı biriminde çalışan hekim ve diğer sağlık personeli tek tek telefonla aranarak ve çalışılan aile sağlığı merkezlerine gidilerek kendi özel numaraları veya mail adresleri alınmıştır. Google formlar aracılığıyla hazırlanan anket formu elektronik (WhatsApp veya mail aracılığı ile) olarak Samsun’daki aile sağlığı merkezlerinde çalışan aile hekimleri ve aile sağlığı elemanlarına ulaştırılmıştır. Kişiler gönüllülük esasına dayanılarak çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Bulgular: Katılımcıların %61,1’i kadın, %85,5’i evli, %55,7’si aile hekimiydi. Katılımcıların aşı tereddüdü olan ebeveynler ile karşılaşma sıklığı %75 olarak bulunmuştur. Aşı tereddüdünün en önemli nedeni, aşıların içeriğindeki maddeler olarak saptanmıştır. Sağlık çalışanlarına göre, aşı tereddüdünü azaltacak en önemli yöntem advers etkiler ile ilgili bilgilendirme yapılması olarak görülmüştür. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda, katılımcıların büyük bir çoğunluğu aşı tereddüdü olan en az bir aile ile daha önce karşılaştığını belirtmişlerdir. Sağlık çalışanlarına aşı tereddüdü ile ilgili eğitimlerin verilmesi fayda sağlayabilir.

Aim: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the frequency, causes, and solution suggestions of healthcare professionals working in family health centers in Samsun province with childhood vaccination hesitations. Materials and Methods: It is a cross-sectional study. It was conducted with an online survey in Samsun in May-September 2021. 165 family physicians and 131 family health workers participated in the study. Within the scope of this study, physicians working in the family health unit were called one by one and their private numbers or e-mail addresses were obtained by going to the family health centers where they worked. The questionnaire form, which was prepared via Google forms, was delivered electronically (via WhatsApp or mail) to family physicians and family health personnel in family health centers in Samsun. İndividuals were included in the study on a voluntary basis. Results: 61.1% of the participants were women, 85.5% were married and 55.7% were family physicians. The frequency of encountering parents who were hesitant about vaccination was found to be 75%. The most important reason for vaccine hesitancy was determined to be the ingredients in the vaccines. According to healthcare professionals, the most important method to reduce vaccine hesitancy was to inform about adverse effects. Conclusions: In our study, the majority of the participants stated that they had encountered at least one family with hesitation before. It may be beneficial to provide training on vaccine hesitancy to healthcare workers.
