Türkiye’nin farklı bölgelerinde otizmli çocuğu olan ailelerin aşılar hakkındaki bilgi düzeylerinin, aşı reddinin sıklığının, ve nedenlerinin araştırılması.

Amaç: Otizm spektrum bozukluğu (OSB), erken çocukluk dönemlerinde sosyal etkileşim ve iletişim becerilerinde yetersizlik, kısıtlı ilgi alanı ve stereotipik davranış örüntüleri ile karakterize nörogelişimsel önemli bir bozukluktur. Bu çalışmanın amacı OSB tanısı almış çocuğu olan ebeveynlerin aşılar hakkında genel bilgilerini ölçme, aşıya karşı tutumlarını belirleme, aşı karşıtlığının oranı ve nedenlerini saptamaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma, OSB tanılı çocukları olan ebeveynlerden birisi ile, yüz yüze görüşmek sureti ile, anket yaparak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular: Elde edilen verilere göre; kontrol grubu ile karşılaştırıldığında, otizmli çocukları olan ebeveynlerin; aşılar hakkındaki bilgi düzeylerinin, ve aşı reddi tercihlerinin daha yüksek olduğu, aşıların içeriklerinden daha çok şüphe duydukları, özellikle canlı virus aşılaması ile otizmin başlaması arasında, zamansal ilişki olduğuna inandıkları belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: OSB tanılı çocukların rutin çocuk-ergen psikiyatristleri tarafından, rutin kontrollerinde; ailelerin aşılar hakkındaki düşünceleri, kaygıları ve kaçınmaları değerlendirilmelidir.
