Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of influenza vaccination and related factors among midwives and nurses working in Mersin City Hospital. Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive study including 235 nurses and 57 midwives. The survey data were obtained by face-to-face surveys. Chi-Square test was used for data analysis. Results: In our study, only 11.2% of the 292 health care workers stated that they had been vaccinated at least once during their employment. Conclusion: Lifetime seasonal influenza vaccination rate is 11.2% in our participants. This may be attributed to many reasons such as education and inadequate vaccination policies. Health care workers may be provided with appropriate training for seasonal influenza vaccination on their own benefits and responsibilities for themselves and the patients. Obligatory vaccination of risk groups can be considered a health policy of the state.

Özet

Giriş: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Mersin Şehir Hastanesinde çalışan ebe ve hemşirelerin grip aşısı yaptırma prevalansını ve ilişkili faktörleri belirlemektir. Materyal ve Metod: Bu araştırma tanımlayıcı bir çalışmadır. Çalışmamıza 235’i hemşire, 57’si ebe olmak üzere 292 kişi katıldı. Araştırma verileri hazırlanan anketlerin yüz yüze görüşülmesi ile elde edildi. Verilerin analizi için ki-kare testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan 292 sağlık çalışanının, yalnızca %11.2’si çalıştıkları yıllar boyunca en az bir defa grip aşısı yaptırdıklarını belirtmişlerdir. Çalışmada grip aşısı yaptırmama sebebi olarak en çok, gerekli olmadığını düşünmek belirtilmiştir. Sonuç: Çalışmaya katılanlarda çalışma hayatı boyunca yaşam boyu mevsimsel grip aşılanma prevalansı %11.2 olarak bulunmuştur. Bu düşüklük eğitim ve yetersiz aşı politikaları gibi birçok sebebe bağlı olarak düşünülebilir. Sağlık çalışanlarına mevsimsel grip aşısının kendileri ve hastalar için yararları ve sorumlulukları konusunda düzeyine uygun eğitimler verilebilir. Riskli grupların zorunlu aşılanması devletin bir sağlık politikası olarak düşünülebilir.
