This study examined the roles and effects of public health nurses in increasing vaccination rates. In the study, national and international reports, policy documents and scientific publications published between 2020 and 2024 were evaluated using systematic document analysis. The data collection process was carried out in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ULAKBİM and DergiPark databases. The findings reveal that public health nurses play critical roles in community-based vaccination campaigns, such as education, access, counseling and trust-building. In addition, it was determined that various difficulties were encountered in combating logistics management difficulties and social vaccine hesitancy in rural areas. As a result, it was suggested that in order to support the effectiveness of nurses in increasing vaccination rates, professional training programs should be strengthened, community-based interventions should be disseminated with cultural sensitivity and technical capacity should be increased in logistics processes.

Halk Sağlığı Hemşirelerinin Aşılama Oranlarının Arttırılmasında Rolü: Çalışmalar, Raporlar ve Politika Belgelerinin İncelenmesi

Öz

Bu çalışmada, halk sağlığı hemşirelerinin aşılama oranlarını artırmadaki rolleri ve etkileri incelenmiştir. Araştırmada, 2020–2024 yılları arasında yayımlanan ulusal ve uluslararası raporlar, politika belgeleri ve bilimsel yayınlar sistematik doküman analizi yöntemiyle değerlendirilmiştir. Veri toplama süreci PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ULAKBİM ve DergiPark veri tabanlarında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular, halk sağlığı hemşirelerinin toplum temelli aşılama kampanyalarında eğitim, erişim sağlama, danışmanlık ve güven inşa etme gibi kritik roller üstlendiklerini ortaya koymaktadır. Ayrıca, kırsal alanlarda lojistik yönetim zorlukları ve toplumsal aşı tereddüdü ile mücadelede çeşitli güçlüklerle karşılaşıldığı belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, hemşirelerin aşılama oranlarını artırmadaki etkinliğini desteklemek amacıyla, mesleki eğitim programlarının güçlendirilmesi, kültürel duyarlılıkla toplum temelli müdahalelerin yaygınlaştırılması ve lojistik süreçlerde teknik kapasitenin artırılması gerektiği önerilmiştir.
