Strengthening the immune system against infectious diseases is the right of every human being. Vaccination is one of the most important preventive practices from past to present in terms of protecting public health. In this study, it was aimed to determine the opinions of Van Yuzuncu Yıl University (YYU) Vocational School of Health Services students about the importance of vaccine and vaccine in vaccine preventable diseases, their attitudes towards vaccination and their vaccination status.Method: This descriptive study is a questionnaire consisting of 20 questions prepared to evaluate the opinions of the students studying at Van YYU Health Services Vocational School in the 2021-2022 academic year about the vaccine and its importance. Descriptive statistics: It was expressed as numbers and percentages for categorical variables, and as mean and standard deviation for continuous variables.Results: 54.5% of the participants think that their knowledge about the vaccine is not sufficient, 40.4% think that the vaccine is not effective enough to protect against diseases, and 70.4% think that the vaccine is not effective in eliminating epidemics completely. 69.4% of the participants stated that they were hesitant about getting vaccinated, and 85.2% stated that vaccines had side effects.Conclusion: Contrary to expectations, it was determined that the participants' hesitations about the importance and safety of vaccines were at a high level. It was observed that most of the students had insufficient knowledge about the vaccine and its importance.

Özet

Amaç: Aşı, insan sağlığını koruma ve salgın hastalıkları önlemede en etkili, güvenilir ve oldukça düşük maliyetli korunma yöntemlerinden biridir. Bulaşıcı hastalıklara karşı bağışıklık sisteminin güçlendirilmesi her insanın hakkıdır. Aşılama, toplum sağlığının korunması açısından geçmişten günümüze en önemli koruyucu uygulamalardan biridir. Bu çalışmada Van YYU Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulu öğrencilerinin aşıyla önlenebilen hastalıklarda aşı ve aşının önemi ile ilgili görüşlerinin, aşılanmaya olan tutumlarının ve aşı durumlarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipteki bu çalışma, Van YYU Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksek Okulunda 2021-2022 eğitim öğretim yılında öğrenim gören öğrencilerin, aşı ve aşının önemi hakkındaki görüşlerinin değerlendirilmesine yönelik hazırlanan, 20 sorudan oluşan anket çalışmasıdır. Tanımlayıcı istatistikler; Kategorik değişkenler için sayı ve yüzde olarak, sürekli değişkenler için ise ortalama ve standart sapma olarak ifade edilmiştir.Bulgu: Katılımcıların %54,5’inin aşı hakkında bilgilerinin yeterli olmadığını, %40,4’ünün hastalıklara karşı korunmada aşının yeterince etkili olmadığını, %70,4’ü salgın hastalıkları tamamen ortadan kaldırmada aşının etkili olmadığını düşünmektedir. Katılımcıların %69,4’ü aşı yaptırma konusunda tereddüt yaşadığını, %85,2’si aşıların yan etkisi olduğunu belirtmiştir.Sonuç: Katılımcılarda aşıların önemi ve güvenirliliğine ilişkin tereddütlerin beklenenin aksine yüksek düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin çoğunun aşı ve aşının önemi ile ilgili bilgilerinin yetersiz olduğu görülmüştür.
