Vaccination status wasthe dependent variable; knowledge of vaccination and socioeconomic and sociodemographiccharacteristics were the independent variables.Results: The number of unvaccinated subjects was 6.6 times higher amongst participantswith no knowledge of vaccination than amongst those with knowledge of vaccination (95%confidence interval, 2.9–14.9, p=0.001), 2.6 times higher amongst participants with no primaryeducation than amongst those with primary education (confidence interval, 1.5–4.5, p=0.001),2.7 times higher in participants with insufficient income than amongst those with sufficientincome (confidence interval, 1.2–5.9, p=0.006) and 2.2 times higher amongst participants livingin rural areas than amongst those living in urban areas (confidence interval, 1.2–3.7, p=0.006).These were the factors affecting the vaccination status in the elderly.Conclusion: Additional solutions are required to encourage physicians and other healthcareproviders to provide the elderly with information and encourage them to be vaccinated asrecommended by the ‘Centre for Disease Control and Prevention’, increasing the vaccinationrates amongst those living in villages and rural areas and with low income.

Objective & Hypothesis:Introduction: We determined influenza, pneumococcal and herpes zoster vaccinationrates amongst people aged ≥65 years and evaluated factors affecting the vaccination rates.Materials and Method: The vaccination rates were investigated using face-to-face interviewin 543 patients aged ≥65 years who were admitted to the internal medicine outpatient clinicsof Kafkas University School of Medicine and public hospitals in the 30th health service area.Subjects were divided into two groups: vaccinated and unvaccinated.

Abstract

Introduction: We determined influenza, pneumococcal and herpes zoster vaccinationrates amongst people aged ≥65 years and evaluated factors affecting the vaccination rates.Materials and Method: The vaccination rates were investigated using face-to-face interviewin 543 patients aged ≥65 years who were admitted to the internal medicine outpatient clinicsof Kafkas University School of Medicine and public hospitals in the 30th health service area.Subjects were divided into two groups: vaccinated and unvaccinated. Vaccination status wasthe dependent variable; knowledge of vaccination and socioeconomic and sociodemographiccharacteristics were the independent variables.Results: The number of unvaccinated subjects was 6.6 times higher amongst participantswith no knowledge of vaccination than amongst those with knowledge of vaccination (95%confidence interval, 2.9–14.9, p=0.001), 2.6 times higher amongst participants with no primaryeducation than amongst those with primary education (confidence interval, 1.5–4.5, p=0.001),2.7 times higher in participants with insufficient income than amongst those with sufficientincome (confidence interval, 1.2–5.9, p=0.006) and 2.2 times higher amongst participants livingin rural areas than amongst those living in urban areas (confidence interval, 1.2–3.7, p=0.006).These were the factors affecting the vaccination status in the elderly.Conclusion: Additional solutions are required to encourage physicians and other healthcareproviders to provide the elderly with information and encourage them to be vaccinated asrecommended by the ‘Centre for Disease Control and Prevention’, increasing the vaccinationrates amongst those living in villages and rural areas and with low income.

Özet

Giriş: Bu araştırmada 65 yaş ve üzeri kişilerde influenza, pnömokok ve herpes zoster aşılarını yaptırma düzeyi ile bu düzeyi etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmanın verileri Kafkas Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi ve kamu hastaneleri iç hastalıkları polikliniğine başvuran 65 ve üzeri yaş 543 kişi ile yüz yüze görüşme tekniği ile toplandı. Kişiler aşı yaptıranlar ve yaptırmayanlar olarak iki guruba ayrıldı. Aşılanma durumu araştırmanın bağımlı değişkeni iken, aşı bilgisi, sosyoekonomik ve sosyodemografik özellikler ise bağımsız değişkenleri olarak belirlendi. Bulgular: Aşı bilgisi olanlar referans alındığında olmayanlarda 6.6 (CI, 2.9–14.9; p=0.001), temel eğitimi olanlar referans alındığında olmayanlarda 2.6 (CI, 1.5–4.5; p=0.001), gelir düzeyi yeterli olanlar referans alındığında yetersiz olanlarda 2.7 (CI, 1.2–5.9; p=0.006), il ve ilçe merkezinde yaşayanlar referans alındığında köy ve beldelerde yaşayanlarda aşılanmama 2.2 kere (CI, 1.2–3.7; p=0.006) daha yüksek olup yaşlılarda aşılanmayı etkileyen faktörler olarak belirlendi. Sonuç: Yaşlı nüfusun “Hastalık Kontrol ve Önleme Merkezi” tarafından önerilen aşıları yaptırmasında hekimlerin aşılar hakkında yaşlıları bilgilendirmesi, köy ve beldelerde yaşayanlar ve gelir düzeyi düşük olanların aşılanma oranlarının arttırılması için doktorlar ve diğer sağlık sunucularının yaşlıları aşılanma konusunda bilgilendirmeleri ve yönlendirmeleri gibi ilave çözümler gerekmektedir.
