What Do Health Care Professionals Think About Covid-19 Vaccine Applications: A University Example

Öz:

Background: Vaccination of Health Care Professionals (HCPs) is of great importance for communicable diseases. This study aimed to investigate the views of HCPs working in a university hospital about the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) vaccine and to evaluate the factors affecting vaccination. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was completed with 183 volunteers in a university hospital on 9–12 December 2020. A questionnaire consisting of 10 questions developed by the researchers was used in the study. The study was approved by the Harran University Ethics Committee (09.11.2020; session: 19; decision no: HRU / 20.19.24). In addition, the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Health's Covid-19 Study approval was received. Results: The rate of HCPs who were willing to get the Covid-19 vaccine was 53.6%. Of the participants, 74.9% thought that the Covid-19 vaccine would have an effect on reducing the incidence of Covid-19. There was a significant difference between the decision on getting the Covid-19 vaccine and the effect of the vaccine on the incidence of Covid-19 (p=0.000). Getting the Covid-19 vaccine was found to be affected 2.721-fold by the male gender, 0.356-fold by receiving vaccination during the pandemic period, and 19.272-fold by the thought that the Covid-19 vaccine would reduce the incidence. Participants mostly stated that they wanted to be vaccinated due to the fear of transmitting the disease to the loved ones (41.5%) whereas concerns about adverse events were the most common reason why the participants were unwilling to be vaccinated (27.9%). Conclusions: Vaccination refusal of one of every two HCPs, who are seen as a role model by society, will affect the success of controlling the Covid-19 pandemic. In conclusion, there is a need for an emergency action plan regarding the need for vaccination with scientific evidence.

Sağlık Profesyonelleri Covid-19 Aşı Uygulamaları Hakkında Ne Düşünüyor: Bir Üniversite Örneği

Öz:

Amaç: Sağlık çalışanlarının aşılanması bulaşıcı hastalıklar yönünden önem arz eder. Bu çalışmanın amacı bir üniversite hastanesindeki sağlık çalışanlarının koronavirüs hastalığı 2019 (Covid-19) aşısına ilişkin görüşlerini ve aşılamaya etki eden faktörleri incelemektir. Materyal ve Metod: Kesitsel tasarımlı bu çalışma 09-12.12.2020 tarihleri arasında bir üniversite hastanesinde, gönüllü 183 sağlık çalışanı ile tamamlanmıştır. Çalışmada araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen 10 soruluk form kullanılmıştır. Çalışma Harran Üniversitesi Etik Kurulu tarafından onaylanmıştır (09.11.2020; oturum: 19; karar no: HRU / 20.19.24). Ayrıca Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Sağlık Bakanlığı'ndan Covid-19 çalışma onayı alınmıştır. Bulgular: Covid-19 aşısı yaptırmak isteyenlerin sıklığı %53,6 idi. Katılımcıların %74,9’u Covid-19 aşısının, Covid-19 insidansını azaltmaya etkisi olacağını düşünüyordu. Covid-19 aşısı yaptırma durumu ile aşının Covid-19 insidansına etkisi arasında anlamlı bir fark olduğu saptandı (p<0,001). Covid-19 aşısı yaptırmayı, erkek cinsiyete sahip olma 2,721, pandemi döneminde aşı yaptırma 0,356 ve Covid-19 aşısının insidansı azaltmaya etkisi olduğunu düşünme 19,272 kat etkilemektedir. Katılımcılar en çok sevdiklerine hastalık bulaştırma kaygısı (%41,5) nedeni ile aşı olmak isterken, en çok yan etki kaygısı nedeniyle (%27,9) aşı olmak istemediklerini bildirmişlerdir. Sonuç: Toplumun rol model gördüğü sağlık çalışanlarının her ikisinden birinin aşı olmayı kabul etmemesi, Covid19’un pandemisinin kontrol altına alınma başarısını etkileyecektir. Sonuç olarak, bilimsel kanıtlarla aşılanma gerekliliğine ilişkin acil eylem planına ihtiyaç vardır
