Sağlık Öğrencilerinde Aşı Tereddüdü

Amaç: Bu çalışmada İstanbul’da sağlık alanında (tıp, diş hekimliği, eczacılık, hemşirelik, ebelik, fizik tedavi ve rehabilitasyon, diyetisyenlik, odyoloji, sağlık yönetimi) yükseköğrenim görmekte olan öğrencilerin aşı tereddüdü düzeyini, dağılımını ve öğrenim yılına göre değişimini ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Çalışmamız bir anket çalışmasıydı ve belirlenen fakülte ve bölümlerde kayıtlı (T.C. Ölçme, Seçme ve Yerleştirme Merkezi 2019 verilerine göre) 17.488 üniversite öğrencisinin %10’una ulaşmak hedeflendi. Anket Google Formlar® platformunda çevrimiçi olarak gerçekleştirildi. Bulgular: Çalışma toplam 1559 öğrenci içerdi. Öğrencilerin %15,1’i “Gerekli durumlarda (riskli maruziyet, rutin korunma) kendinize tereddüt etmeden aşı yaptırabiliyor musunuz?” sorusuna “Hayır” yanıtını verdi. Bu oranın öğrenim yılı arttıkça azaldığı görüldü (χ2=21,523; p

Vaccine Hesitancy among Health Students

Aim: This study aimed to elucidate the levels, distributions, and study years-based changes of vaccine hesitancy in students receiving higher education in the health field (medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, midwifery, physical therapy and rehabilitation, dietetics, audiology, health-care management) in Istanbul.

The survey was conducted online via Google Forms®. Results: The study included a total of 1559 students. Of all students, 15.1% answered “No” to the question “Can you get vaccinated without hesitation when necessary (in case of risky exposure or as part of routine protection)?”. It was found that this rate decreased as the number of years at the university increased (χ2=21.523; p
