Abstract

This descriptive type of research was carried out to determine the covid-19 fear levels and attitudes towards vaccination of students at a university's vocational school of health services. In the study, which was conducted with the participation of 707 students (82.3%), the Covid-19 Fear Scale and the Attitudes Towards Covid-19 Vaccine Scale were used. The data were analyzed with the SPSS25 program. The Covid-19 Fear scale score of the participants was determined as 19.91±7,03, and the Attitudes Towards the Covid-19 Vaccine Scale score was determined as 2,94±6,23. When the Covid-19 Fear scale score was analyzed on the basis of gender, it was seen that the score of female participants (x ̅=20,82) was higher than the score of male participants (x ̅=17,41). When the scores obtained from both scales were examined according to the presence of chronic disease, it was determined that the scores of those with chronic disease were higher. There was a weak negative correlation between the fear of Covid-19 and the attitude towards the Covid-19 vaccine (r=-0,097; p=0,010) This study will contribute to the design of programs to help future health workers engage in health-protective behaviors, and to develop new strategies to address the concerns raised by the use of vaccines to control the spread of the pandemic in society.

Özet

Tanımlayıcı tipte gerçekleştirilen bu araştırma bir üniversitenin sağlık hizmetleri meslek yüksekokulunda eğitim gören öğrencilerin Covid-19 korku düzeylerinin ve aşıya yönelik tutumlarının belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. 707 öğrencinin katılımıyla (%82,3) gerçekleştirilen araştırmada, Covid-19 Korkusu Ölçeği ve Covid-19 Aşısına Yönelik Tutumlar Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Veriler SPSS25 programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Katılımcıların Covid-19 Korkusu ölçek puanı 19,91±7,03, Covid-19 Aşısına Yönelik Tutumlar Ölçek puanı 2,94±6,23 olarak belirlenmiştir. Covid-19 Korkusu ölçek puanı cinsiyete göre incelendiğinde kadın puanının (x ̅=20,82) erkek puanından (x ̅=17,41) daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Her iki ölçekten elde edilen puanlar kronik hastalığın varlığına göre incelendiğinde kronik hastalığı olanların puanlarının daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Covid-19 korkusu ile Covid-19 aşısına yönelik tutum arasında negatif yönlü düşük düzeyde anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur (r=-0,097; p=0,010). Bu çalışma geleceğin sağlık çalışanları olacak bireylerin sağlığı koruyucu davranışlarda bulunmalarını sağlayacak programların tasarlanmasına, pandeminin toplum içinde yayılmasının kontrolünde aşının kullanılmasının yarattığı endişelerin giderilmesi için yeni stratejiler geliştirilmesine katkı sağlayacaktır.
