ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the attitudes of health care professionals involved within the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic process towards the COVID-19 vaccine in line with their demographic characteristics. Material and Methods: A questionnaire consisting of 16 questions was conducted to 510 healthcare professionals working in İnegöl State Hospital between December 2021-January 2022 and who agreed to participate in the study, to determine their approach to the COVID-19 vaccine. The data were collected with Student's t-test and Mann-Whitney U Test. Chi-square test was used in comparison of categorical variables. Results: While 54.3% of the respondents said that they don't want to have the COVID-19 vaccine, 69% answered that 'Since there is not any adequate research on the vaccine, the vaccine is not reliable'. Were observed that vaccine rejection was most common in the 20-29 age group (72.7%) and pregnant women (100%). In addition, as the education level increased, the number of people considering vaccination increased. The desire to be vaccinated was seen more in married, and it was noted that non-smokers had more COVID-19 (80.3%). Conclusion: Healthcare professionals who participated in study were found to have a negative attitude towards COVID-19 vaccine. Although healthcare professionals have hesitations about vaccine, in fact, noteworthy that they're afraid of the disease (43.8%). Despite of the pandemic, more than half (54.3%) of healthcare professionals working in İnegöl State Hospital stated that they didn't think about getting a COVID-19 vaccine. Providing hospital staff with more education about the safety, efficacy, and value of currently available COVID-19 vaccines is critical to vaccine acceptance in this population.

ÖZET
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 [coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)] pandemi sürecinde yer alan ve aşılama oranının düşük görüldüğü sağlık çalışanlarının, demografik özellikleri doğrultusunda COVID-19 aşısına yönelik tutumlarının araştırılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: İnegöl Devlet Hastanesinde Aralık 2021-Ocak 2022 tarihleri arasında çalışan ve araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 510 sağlık çalışanına, COVID-19 aşısına karşı yaklaşımlarını tespit etmek amacıyla 16 sorudan oluşan bir anket yapıldı. Veriler; Student t-testi ve Mann-Whitney U testi ile analiz edildi. Kategorik değişkenlerin karşılaştırmasında ise ki-kare testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Ankete katılanların %54,3'ü COVID-19 aşısını olmak istemediklerini ifade ederken, %69'u 'Aşıyla ilgili yeterli çalışma olmadığından güvenilir değil.' yanıtını vermiştir. Aşı reddinin en fazla 20-29 yaş grubunda (%72,7) ve gebelerde (%100) olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Ayrıca eğitim durumu arttıkça aşı olmayı düşünen kişi sayı artmıştır. Aşı yaptırma isteği evli bireylerde daha fazla görülmüş olup, sigara kullanmayanların daha fazla COVID-19 olması (%80,3) dikkat çekmiştir. Sonuç: Çalışmaya katılan sağlık çalışanlarının COVID-19 geçirip geçirmemesinin aşı olmaya yatkınlığını etkilemediği tespit edildi. Aslında sağlık personelinin aşı hakkında tereddütleri olmasına rağmen hastalıktan korkmaları (%43,8) dikkat çekmektedir. İnegöl Devlet Hastanesinde çalışan sağlık personelinin yarısından fazlası (%54,3) salgına rağmen COVID-19 aşısı olmayı düşünmediğini söyledi. Hastane çalışanlarına şu anda mevcut olan COVID-19 aşılarının güvenliği, etkinliği ve değeri hakkında daha fazla eğitim verilmesi, bu popülasyonda aşı kabulü için kritik öneme sahiptir.
