YAŞLI TÜRK BİREYLERİNİN COVİD-19 AŞI TEREDDÜTÜ HAKKINDA ALGI, BİLGİ VE TUTUMLARI

Öz

Aşılama faaliyetleri bulaşıcı hastalıkların, ölümlerin ve bu hastalıkların neden olduğu kalıcı sonuçların önlenmesini amaçlamaktadır. Tüm dünyayı etkisi altına alan Covid-19 virüsü nedeniyle tüm insanlar bu virüsün olumsuz etkilerinden doğrudan etkilenmiştir. Özellikle yaşlı nüfusun bu virüsten daha çok etkilenmesi sebebiyle sosyal izolasyona ençok maruz kalan grup olmuştur. Şanlıurfa Covid-19 aşılama oranı bakımından Türkiye’de en düşük il olarak görülmektedir. Bu araştırma Şanlıurfa ilinde yaşayan 60 yaş ve üzeri bireyler arasında 01.07.2022-30.07.2022 tarihleri arasında, toplamda 507 yaşlı bireye yapılmıştır. Araştırmada kullanılan ölçeğin Güvenirlik Algısı alt boyutu ortalaması 3,14, Komplo teorileri alt boyutu ise 2,79 çıkmıştır. Araştırmaya katılanların %35,1’i Covid-19 aşılarına güvenmediklerini, %64,9’u ise güvendiklerini belirtmiştir. Araştırmaya katılan yaşlı bireylerin %23,9’u hiç aşı olmadıklarını, %43,6’sı ise 2 doz aşı olduklarını ifade etmişlerdir. Yeniden covid-19 aşısı olur musunuz sorusuna ise araştırmaya katılan yaşlıların sadece %18.7’si (95) evet, %81.3’ü (412) ise hayır demiştir. Sağlık çalışanları tarafından yaşlı bireyler ve ailelere covid-19 virüsünün tehlikeleri ve bu virüse karşı geliştirilen aşıların güvenirliliği hakkında bilgilendirme çalışmalarının yapılması, aşılama oranını arttıracaktır.

Vaccination activities aim to prevent contagious diseases, deaths, and permanent sequels caused by these diseases. Due to the Covid-19 virus, which has affected the whole world, all people have been directly affected by the negative effects of this virüs. Especially since the elderly population is more affected by this virus, it has become the group most exposed to social isolation. Şanlıurfa is accepted as the lowest province in Turkey in terms of Covid-19 vaccination rate. This study was conducted among 507 elderly people, aged 60 and older who lived in Şanlıurfa, between 01.07.2022 and 30.07.2022. The average of the confidence perception sub-dimension was found as 3.14 and the average of conspiracy theories in the sub-dimension was found as 2.79 on the scale used for the study. 35.1% of the participants stated that they did not trust in Covid-19 vaccine, and 64.9% of them stated that they trust it. 23.9% of elderly people who participated in the study stated that they did not receive any vaccine and 43.6% of them stated that they received 2 doses. To the question, “would you get the covid-19 vaccine again?” only 18.7% of the participants (95) answered yes, and 81.3% of them (412) answered no. Informing elderly individuals and families by healthcare professionals about the dangers of the Covid-19 virus and the reliability of vaccines developed against this virus will increase the vaccination rate.
