CONTENT REVIEW OF VACCINES AND VACCINATION RELATED NEWS IN INTERNET NEWSPAPERS
Öz
It is known that newspaper news is an important cause of the increasing vaccination refusal in Turkey. However, there has been no content or number review about the news. The aim of this study is to conduct a qualitative and quantitative analysis of news about vaccines and vaccinations and to enlighten the interventions that will prevent the misinformation of the society in this way. All news of the three most popular newspapers on the internet about vaccines and vaccination within the last three years were reviewed. The characteristics of 286 news such as type, date, source, subjects, its message and the compatibility with the scientific data were evaluated. It was observed that the number of news on vaccimnes and vaccination have been increasing over the years. It was found that the number of news on vaccination refusal in 2018 was statistically significant compared to those of other years (p<0.00). When the news contain incompatible with scientific data were examined, it was observed that autism, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's and other chronic diseases were associated with vaccination, there was claims that vaccines are unnecessary, and there were news including incorrect information about vaccination in situations such as pregnancy and egg allergy. Information is the fundamental step in any intervention aimed at increasing vaccine coverage. Internet newspapers are important in the circulation of health information and should be used more frequently. However, news should be checked by health authorities; non-scientific and misleading information should be prevented.
