Abstract

Objective: The aim of our study was to evaluate pneumococcal and influenza vaccination rates in adults at risk who applied to our hospital in Yozgat province based on the patient's declaration. Methods: This report uses data from a single-center, non-interventional cross-sectional study that included patients who applied to Outpatient Clinics of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology, Internal Medicine, Cardiology, and Chest Diseases from May 2013 to May 2014. Information about pneumococcal and influenza vaccine coverage was collected during face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire with patients with diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic renal failure or patients who were ≥65 years of age. Results: A total of 2918 patients completed the interview. The mean age was 62.1±13 years (range 19-93) and 1255 (61.9%) were female. None of the patients had a vaccination card. Influenza vaccine coverage was 12.3%, and pneumococcal vaccine coverage was 3%. Only 2.8% had received both vaccinations. 92.9% and 98.9% of the patients who had not received influenza and pneumococcal vaccines respectively declared that they were not informed about these vaccines by their doctors. Conclusions: The rate of influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations in adults in Yozgat, Turkey fell far behind the recommendations. A strong recommendation from health-care providers may be helpful for increased uptake of vaccines.

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı Bozok Üniversitesi Araştırma veUygulama Hastanesi’ne başvuran risk altındaki erişkinlerdepnömokok ve influenza aşılanma oranlarını hasta beyanına dayalı olarak incelemektir.Yöntemler: Girişimsel olmayan kesitsel, tanımlayıcı nitelikteolan araştırmamız tek merkezde yapıldı. Bozok ÜniversitesiAraştırma ve Uygulama Hastanesi’nde bulunan İnfeksiyonHastalıkları ve Klinik Mikrobiyoloji, İç Hastalıkları, Kardiyolojive Göğüs Hastalıkları Polikliniklerine Mayıs 2013-Mayıs 2014tarihleri arasında başvuran hastalarla yüz yüze görüşülerekanket uygulaması yapıldı. Pnömokok ve influenza aşısıyla ilgilisoruları içeren anket, diabetes mellitus, konjestif kalp yetmezliği, kronik obstrüktif akciğer hastalığı, kronik böbrek yetmezliği hastaları ve ≥65 yaşındaki hastalarla yüz yüze görüşülerekuygulandı.Bulgular: Ankete 2918 hasta katıldı. Yaş ortalaması 62.1±13 (19-93) olup 1255 (%61.9)’i kadındı. İnfluenza ve pnömokok aşılanma oranları sırasıyla %12.3 ve %3 idi. Hiçbir hastada aşı kayıtkartı yoktu. Sadece %2.8’i her iki aşıyı da yaptırmıştı. İnfluenzaaşısı olmayan erişkinlerin %92.9’u, pnömokokok aşısı olmayanların %98.9’u bu aşıların kendilerine doktorları tarafından önerilmediğini beyan etti.Sonuç: Yozgat’ta erişkinlerde influenza ve pnömokok aşılanmaoranları önerilenlerin çok gerisinde bulunmuştur. Sağlık kuruluşlarının ve doktorların hastalarına aşılanma önerileri erişkin aşılanma oranlarını artırabilir.
