Evaluation of the knowledge levels of 6th-year medical faculty students regarding routine vaccines recommended for healthcare workers
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the knowledge levels of 6th-year medical faculty students regarding vaccines recommended for healthcare workers.
Methods: This study is a descriptive and cross-sectional research. The data for the study were collected between November 8, 2023, and December 25, 2023. The study sample comprises 206 6th-year medical students enrolled in the 2023-2024 academic year at Selçuk University Faculty of Medicine. In the study, a 26-item questionnaire form, developed by the researcher through a review of the literature, was employed.
Results: It was observed that students were most familiar with hepatitis B (96.1%), hepatitis A (86.4%), diphtheria-tetanus (70.4%) and MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine (63.6%) among the vaccines routinely recommended for healthcare workers. The rates of participants, whose source of information was lectures, knowing 4 or more vaccines out of the 6 routinely recommended for healthcare workers, were significantly higher compared to those who received information from publications and healthcare institutions (p<0.001).
Conclusion: It is important for physicians to have sufficient knowledge not only about vaccinations for adults and children but also for healthcare worker vaccinations. This is crucial for both employee safety and patient safety. Throughout medical education, these vaccines recommended for healthcare workers should be explained in detail to students, emphasizing their importance.
