Ebelik Öğrencilerinin COVID-19 Enfeksiyonuyla İlgili Koruyucu Davranışları, Risk Algıları ve COVID-19 Aşı Kabulü

Öz

Amaç:Bu araştırma üniversitede eğitim gören ebelik öğrencilerinin COVID-19 enfeksiyonuyla ilgili koruyucu davranışlarını, risk algılarını ve aşı kabul durumlarını belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kesitsel türdeki araştırma 329 ebelik öğrencisi ile yürütülmüştür. Veri toplama aracı olarak çevrimiçi anket formu kullanılmıştır. Veriler SPSS paket programında değerlendirilmiş, analizde ki-kare testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin %95.4’ü insanların bulunduğu ortama girerken maske taktığını, %93.3’ü kapalı alanların kullanımını azalttığını ve %90’ı ellerini daha sık yıkadığını belirtmiştir. Öğrencilerin %46.2’si kendisinin, %79.6’sı ailesinin COVID-19 ile enfekte olmasından endişe duyduğunu ifade etmiştir. Öğrencilerin %45.9’u COVID-19 aşısı olmak istediğini, %42.6’sı aşıyı ailesine ve arkadaşlarına önerebileceğini söylemiştir. COVID-19 enfeksiyonu geçiren öğrencilerin aşı olma isteği anlamlı düzeyde yüksek bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Sonuç: Öğrencilerin bağışıklamanın yararları, aşı kararsızlığı ve nedenleri konusunda bilgi düzeylerinin ve farkındalıklarının arttırılması gerekmektedir.
