Abstract

Introduction: Seasonal influenza had
many epidemics and pandemics throughout history and caused millions of people
getting sick with severer progress and even death in the risk group. Having the
influenza vaccination is essential for healthcare staff to protect their health
as well as other individuals of the society. The present study aimed to
determine the approaches of all healthcare personnel and candidates in Rize
Training and Research Hospital providing tertiary healthcare services and to
analyze their causes for not having the vaccination.

Methods: The present cross-sectional
research was carried out in Rize (Turkey). A questionnaire applied to 898
volunteers among 2200 hospital staff.

Results: It was detected
that the median age of the participants is 25 years; 61.0% of the participants
are female; 59.8% of them are single; 69.8% do not have any children and 38.0%
have a graduate degree. The rate of having vaccination once within lifetime was
detected as 41.6% and the highest rate was observed in the physician group
whereas the lowest rate was observed in the nursing student group. The causes
for avoiding to have the vaccination included the considerations about the
ineffectiveness of the vaccination, having influenza and the delay of arrival
of the vaccination to the hospital. However, the rate of having vaccination was
determined as 2.6% within all healthcare staff for this year. The majority of
the participants who had the vaccination consisted of the nurses who consider
themselves within the risk group.







Conclusions: A significant
decrease was detected in the vaccination rates of the healthcare staff when
compared with previous years. The awareness should be increased to increase the
vaccination rates. For this purpose, training should be organized, and the
sustainability of such training should be provided.

Abstract

Giriş: Mevsimsel grip tarih
boyunca birçok epidemi ve pandemiler yapmış olup milyonlarca insanın hastalanmasına;
risk grubu olanlarda ise hastalığın daha ağır geçmesine hatta ölümlere yol
açmıştır. Sağlık çalışanlarının hem kendi sağlıkları hem toplumun diğer
bireylerinin sağlığının korunması açısından grip aşısını yaptırmaları son
derece önemlidir. Bu çalışmada üçüncü basamak sağlık bakım hizmeti veren Rize
Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesinde hastanemizde sağlık hizmeti veren tüm personel
ve adaylarının mevsimsel grip aşısına yönelik yaklaşımlarının belirlenmesi ve
aşı yaptırmama nedenlerinin irdelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Yöntem: Kesitsel nitelikteki bu
araştırma, Rize ilinde (Türkiye) yürütüldü. Hastanede çalışan 2200 kişiden
gönüllü 898 kişiye anket yoluyla uygulandı

Bulgular: Katılımcıların
ortanca yaşının 25, %61,0’nın kadın, %59,8’inin bekar, %69,8’inin çocuğunun
olmadığı, %38,0’ının lisansüstü eğitim seviyesinde olduğu belirlendi. Çalışmada
ömründe bir kez aşı yaptırma durumu %41,6 olup en yüksek oranda doktor
grubunda, en düşük ise hemşirelik öğrenci grubunda görüldü. Yaptırmama nedeni
olarak aşının etkisiz olduğunu düşünmek, gribi geçirmiş olmak, aşının hastaneye
gelişinde gecikme en sıklıkla verilen cevaplardı. Ancak tüm sağlık çalışanları
için bu yıl aşı yapılma oranı %2,6 olarak bulundu. Aşı yaptıranların
çoğunluğunu risk grubunda olduklarını düşünen hemşireler oluşturmaktaydı.







Sonuç: Sağlık çalışanlarının aşılanma oranlarının
daha önceki yıllara oranla belirgin azalma gösterdiği görüldü. Aşılanma
oranlarımızın artırılması için farkındalığın sağlanması gerekmektedir. Bu
amaçla eğitimler planlanmalı ve eğitimin sürekliliği sağlanmalıdır.
