AŞI TEREDDÜTLERİNDE SOSYAL MEDYANIN ROLÜ

Öz

Aşı tereddütleri dünya çapında artmaktadır ve şu anda halk sağlığı alanında en önemli sorunlardan biridir. Birçok ülkede aşı tereddütleri, toplum bağışıklığına ulaşmanın önünde önemli engeller oluşturmaktadır. Sosyal medya ve diğer çevrimiçi platformlar aracılığıyla yayılan yanlış bilgiler, halk sağlığı için büyük bir tehdit oluşturmaktadır. Bu derleme, aşı tereddütleri konusunda yanlış bilgilerin yayınlanmasında sosyal medyanın rolüne odaklanarak, aşı tereddüdünü önlemek için öneriler sunmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, sosyal medyadaki aşı tereddütlerini içeren ulusal ve uluslararası çalışmalar üzerine literatür taraması yapılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, sosyal medya aşı tereddüdünün nedeni değildir, ancak aşı karşıtı argümanların ve bu konuda yanlış bilgilerin geniş kitlelere ulaşmasında rol oynamaktadır. Yanlış bilgilerin yayılması sağlık görevlilerinin halk sağlığıyla ilgili mücadelelerini zorlaştırmaktadır. İnsanlar sosyal medya platformlarına giderek daha fazla güvenmektedirler, bu yüzden sağlık alanında karar vericiler aşılamayı teşvik etmek için çevrimiçi sosyal araçlar kullanılabilirler. Sağlık politikacıları, toplumun aşılamayı kabul etmesi için aşı tereddütlerini ele almalı ve aşı okuryazarlığı oluşturma konusunda çalışmalar yapmalıdırlar.

THE ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN VACCINE HESITATION

Öz

Vaccine hesitations are increasing worldwide and are currently one of the most important public health concerns. In addition, hesitation about vaccination in many countries pose important obstacles to achieving community immunity. Misinformation spread through social media has become a major threat to public health. This review focuses on the role of social media in disseminating misinformation about vaccine hesitations and offers recommendations for preventing vaccine hesitancy. Therefore, a literature review was conducted on national and international studies involving vaccine hesitations in social media. In conclusion, social media is not the cause of vaccine hesitation, but plays a role in spreading anti-vaccine arguments and misinformation. The spread of this misinformation complicates the public health struggles of health officials. People increasingly rely on social media. In this case, online tools can be used to promote vaccination. Health politicians must work to get the public to accept vaccination and expand vaccine literacy.
