Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to compare parents’ opinions and attitudes who refused vaccination at birth before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods/design: This comparative-descriptive-design study was conducted with 20 parents (Group1) who refused to receive the first dose of Hep B vaccine before the first COVID-19 case in Turkey and 24 parents (Group2) who refused that vaccine after the onset of the pandemic. It was observed that 95% of the parents in Group1 and 87.5% of Group2 did not change their ideas about childhood vaccines after the pandemic, and there was no significant difference between the groups. Parents in both groups did not want to get vaccinated children against COVID-19. Examining the reasons why parents do not vaccinate their children; It was observed that the number of parents who thought "I do not believe it protects from the disease", "I do not think it is necessary" and "I believe that different diseases caused by vaccines develop" were higher in the pandemic group compared to the pre-pandemic group. When the views on the effects of vaccines on children's health are examined; It was found that the parents who refused the vaccine during the pandemic reported a statistically significant opinion of "They get communicable diseases" compared to the parents who refused before the pandemic. Conclusion: The reasons for parents to refuse childhood vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic are similar to those of parents who refused before the pandemic, and parents’ attitudes towards childhood vaccines have not changed to a large extent.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma, COVID-19 pandemisi öncesinde ve sırasında doğumda aşı reddinde bulunan ebeveynlerin görüş ve tutumlarını karşılaştırmayı amaçlamıştır. Yöntem ve Bulgular: Bu karşılaştırmalı-tanımlayıcı tasarımda yapılan çalışmaya, Türkiye'deki ilk COVID-19 vakasından önce ilk doz Hep B aşısını yaptırmayı reddeden 20 ebeveyn (Grup1) ve pandemi başlangıcından sonra aşılamayı reddeden 24 ebeveyn (Grup2) dahil edilmiştir. Pandemi sonrası Grup1'deki ebeveynlerin %95'inin ve Grup2'dekilerin %87,5'inin çocukluk çağı aşıları konusundaki fikirlerini değiştirmediği ve gruplar arasında anlamlı bir fark olmadığı görüldü. Her iki gruptaki ebeveynler çocuklarına COVID-19 aşısı yaptırmak istemedi. Ebeveynlerin çocuklarına aşı yaptırmama nedenleri incelendiğinde Grup2’de “Hastalıktan koruduğuna inanmıyorum”, “Gerekli olduğunu düşünmüyorum” ve “Aşıların neden olduğu farklı hastalıkların geliştiğine inanıyorum” diyen ebeveyn sayısının daha fazla olduğu görüldü. Ebeveynlerin aşıların çocuk sağlığına etkilerine ilişkin görüşleri incelendiğinde, pandemi sırasında aşıyı reddeden ebeveynlerin, pandemi öncesinde reddeden ebeveynlere kıyasla “bulaşıcı hastalıklara yakalanıyorlar” düşüncesinin anlamlı derecede yüksek olduğu belirlendi. Sonuç: COVID-19 pandemisi sırasında ebeveynlerin çocukluk çağı aşılarını reddetme nedenleri, pandemi öncesinde reddeden ebeveynlerle benzerdir ve ebeveynlerin çocukluk çağı aşılarına yönelik tutumları büyük ölçüde değişmemiştir.
