ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu çalışma, sağlık alanında çalışmayan akademisyenlerin aşı reddine ilişkin görüşlerini belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma, tanımlayıcı tipte yapılmıştır. Çalışma evrenini, Bartın Üniversitesi'nde, sağlık alanı haricindeki fakülte ve yüksekokullarda görevli akademisyenler oluşturmuş olup, örneklem seçimine gidilmeyerek tüm evrene ulaşmak amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma, toplamda 125 akademisyenin katılımı ile gerçekleştirilmiş olup, katılım oranı %22'dir. Çalışma verilerini toplamak amacıyla, literatür bilgisine dayanılarak geliştirilen ve çevrim içi olarak hazırlanan anket formu, çalışma hakkında bilgilendirme içeren elektronik posta ile akademisyenlerin kurum elektronik posta adreslerine gönderilmiştir. Tanımlayıcı istatistikler sayı ve yüzdelikler şeklinde verilmiş, kategorik verilerin karşılaştırılması amacıyla ki-kare testi uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 39,03±8,01'dir. Katılımcıların %90'ını çocukluk dönemi aşılarının yaptırılması konusunda tereddüttü olmadığını belirtmiş olup, bu oran çocuğu olan katılımcılarda %86'dır. Akademisyenlerin %66'sı basından aşı ile ilgili olumsuz bilgi edinmediğini ifade etmişlerdir. Katılımcıların %15'i mevsimsel grip aşısı yaptırmıştır. Katılımcıların %68'i yakınlarına aşı olmalarını tavsiye etmektedir. Aşının güvenilir bir firma tarafından üretilmesi, katılımcıların %62'sinin aşı yaptırma kararını etkilemekte ve yine katılımcıların %66'sı aşıların ciddi boyutta yan etkileri olsa da aşı yaptırılması görüşünde olduğunu ifade etmiştir. Katılımcıların %44'ü aşının her zaman faydalı olduğunu ifade etmiş olup, bu oranın çocuğu olan katılımcılarda istatistiksel olarak daha yüksek oranda olduğu görülmüştür (p=0,026). Sonuç: Akademisyenler aşı yaptırma konusunda düşük oranda tereddüt yaşadıkları, bu oranın çocuğu olan akademisyenlerde daha yüksek oranda olduğu bulunmuştur. Bu çalışma, bulgularının aşı reddi ve tereddütünün azalmasına yönelik yeni stratejiler geliştirilmesine yol göstereceği düşünülmektedir.

ABSTRACT
 Objective: This study aimed to determine the opinion of vaccine rejection of academicians not studying in the health field. Material and Methods: This study was conducted as a description study. The universe of the study was composed of academicians not studying in faculties and schools other than health field at Bartin University, and it was aimed to reach the whole population by not choosing the sample. The study was completed with the participation of 125 academicians in total, and the participation rate was 22%. An online questionnaire which was developed based on the literature was used for data collection. The online questionnaire was sent to the academicians' e-mail addresses by an information about the study. Frequency and percentages were used for descriptive statistics, and Chi-square test was used to compare categorical data. Results: The average age of the participants was 39.03±8.01. 90% participants stated that they did not hesitate about childhood vaccinations, this rate was 86% among the participants with children. 66% of the academicians stated that they did not obtain negative opinion about vaccination from the press. 15% of the participants had the seasonal flu vaccine. 68% of the participants remarked that they recommend their relatives to be vaccinated. 62% of the participants stated that the production of the vaccine by a reliable company affects their decision to get vaccinated, and again 66% of the participants stated that they are of the opinion that people should be vaccinated even though the vaccine has serious side effects. 44% of the participants stated that the vaccine was always useful, and this rate was found to be statistically higher in participants with children (p=0.026). Conclusion: Academicians had a low rate of hesitation about vaccination, and this rate was higher among academics with children. It is predicted that these findings will lead to the development of new strategies to reduce vaccination rejection and hesitation.
