Abstract

Investigation ÖzGiriş: İnsan papilloma virüsü (HPV) aşısının ruhsatlandırılmasından bu yana, ülkemizde adölesanların HPV aşılanma oranları, önerilen diğer ücretli aşılara kıyasla daha düşük kalmıştır.Çalışmamızın amacı 9-18 yaş aralığındaki çocukların ebeveynlerinin HPV enfeksiyonu ve aşısı hakkında bilgi düzeyi, tutum ve davranışlarını öğrenmektir.Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, ülkemizde HPV aşılanma oranlarını iyileştirmeye yönelik yaklaşımların geliştirilmesi için önemlidir.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt Üniversitesi Yenimahalle Eğitim Araştırma Hastanesi Çocuk Polikliniklerine başvuran 9-18 yaş çocukların aileleriyle gönüllülük esas alınarak, anket çalışması şeklinde yürütülmüştür.Ankette ailelelerin sosyo-demografik özellikleri, HPV enfeksiyonu ve aşısı hakkındaki bilgi düzeyleri, aşıyı uygulama konusundaki tutum ve davranışları sorgulanmıştır.Çalışmaya toplam 1000 ebeveyn katılmıştır.Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılanların 762 (%76.2)'sianne, 238 (%23.8)'ibaba idi.Yaş ortalamaları 37.7 ± 6.4 idi.Annelerin 503 (%66)'ü lise ve üniversite mezunuyken, babaların 191 (%80.2)'ilise ve üniversite mezunudur.Ebeveynlerin yalnızca 269 (%26.9)'uHPV enfeksiyonu ve 207 (%20.7)'siHPV aşısı hakkında bir şeyler duymuş/okumuştu.Bilgi edinme kaynakları arasında birinci sırada basın yayın organları, ikinci sırada ise hekimler vardı.Ebeveynlerin yalnızca 55 (%5.5)'i çocuk doktorundan ve aile hekiminden bilgi edindiğini belirtmiştir.Ebeveynlerden yalnızca 14 (%1.4)'ükendisine HPV aşısı yaptırmıştı.Çocuğuna HPV aşısı yaptıran ebeveyn sayısı yalnızca ikiydi.Araştırmaya katılan ebeveynler HPV enfeksiyonu ve aşısı hakkında sınırlı bilgiye sahipti.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
