Özet
Background: The objective of this study was to identify the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of healthcare workers (HCWs) working in our center about Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), seasonal flu (SF) and measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccinations and reasons not to be vaccinated. Methods: This study was a descriptive survey conducted among HCWs of our hospital between 1 to 31 May 2014. The data were collected by a face-to-face questionnaire form consisting of 41 questions. Collected data were analyzed via SPSS 22,0, p <0.05 was considered significant. Results: 219 HCWs participated in the study. The study group included 113 men. A median age of 39 years (min-max: 24-66). The median service duration of HCWs was 17 years (min-max: 1-35). Education levels of personnels were primary (primary -secondary-high school), colleges-university, master’s degree-PhD (respectively 45, 136, 38 people). The median score of correct information, the right attitude and the correct behavior were 7 (min-max: 1-10), 35 (min-max: 27-47), 5 (min-max: 0- 9), respectively. People who never got vaccinated against SF and who got vaccinated every year were calculated 46.6% and 20.1%. H1N1, HBV and measles vaccination rate were 46.6%, 82.6% and 18.3%, respectively. Not believing vaccine’s protectiveness for SF (34,9%), concerned about safety for H1N1(44,4%), neglected for HBV (36,8%), got sick before for measles (36,3%) were the factors most influential in refusal to get vaccinated. Conclusıons: It is important that correct and sufficient information is accessed on issues such as effectiveness, side effects of vaccines in order to inc rease the rate of vaccination of HCWs.
