“…A number of studies have found that vaccine hesitancy is inversely related to education levels among general health workers (Verger & Dubé, 2020; Wilson et al., 2020; Yaqub et al., 2014). Another study also found there is no correlation between nurses' education level and COVID‐19 vaccine acceptance (Çatıker et al., 2022). Regarding this, inadequate research has been conducted regarding the relationship between nursing professionals' educational level and vaccine acceptance.…”

Aim and ObjectivesThis systematic review aims to examine healthcare professionals' attitudes toward the COVID‐19 vaccine and related factors.BackgroundHealthcare workers have priority among risky groups accepted as candidates for early vaccination. Therefore, it is important to consider health professionals' attitudes toward COVID‐19 vaccination to better address barriers to widespread vaccination.Materials and MethodsSix databases were searched for articles published between January 01, 2020, and February 31, 2022, and 1161 studies were reached. As a result of the evaluations, 10 studies were included in the systematic review. Nine studies are cross‐sectional, and one is a descriptive study. A 9‐item Critical Appraisal Checklist for Analytical Cross Sectional Studies from the Joanna Briggs Institute MAStARI Critical Assessment Tools (JBI‐MAStARI) was used for quality assessment. High‐quality studies with an average or higher methodological quality score were included in the systematic review. The PRISMA guideline was followed while selecting studies.ResultsPositive attitudes of healthcare professionals toward the COVID‐19 vaccine ranged from 10% to 93.7%, and negative attitudes varied between 6.3% and 41.0%. Factors such as the male gender, being a physician, advanced age, previous influenza vaccination history, and presence of chronic disease were found to be associated with vaccine acceptance. Factors such as doubt about the efficacy of the COVID‐19 vaccine, safety concerns, and fear of unknown side effects of the vaccine were associated with COVID‐19 vaccine hesitancy.ConclusionThere is a need for confidence‐building interventions and tailored communication strategies, including personalized training to change the ambiguous attitudes of healthcare professionals, increase vaccine uptake, and cope with the multifaceted impact of infection.PROSPERO Registration NumberCRD42021290482.

Gebeler, koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 [coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)] aşısının kabulünün yeterli düzeyde olmadığı önemli bir kitleyi oluşturur. Bu nedenle bu çalışmanın amacı, gebelerde COVID-19 aşı okuryazarlığının COVID-19 aşı tutumlarını açıklama durumunu incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu tanımlayıcı, kesitsel bir çalışmadır ve 204 gebe kadınla tamamlanmıştır. Veriler çevrim içi bir anket aracı kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Anket formu kişisel bilgi formu, COVID-19 Aşı Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği ve COVID-19 Aşısına Yönelik Tutumlar Ölçeği'nden oluşmuştur. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Pearson korelasyon analizi ve çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Gebelerin %68,1'inin COVID-19 aşısı uygulanmaya başlandıktan sonra en az bir doz COVID-19 aşısı yaptırdığı ve bu gebelerin %91,4'ünün ise gebe kaldıktan sonra COVID-19 aşısı yaptırmayı tercih ettiği görülmüştür. COVID-19 Aşı Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği'nin alt boyutu olan fonksiyonel aşı okuryazarlığı olumlu aşı tutumunun %30'unu (R 2 : 0,302), olumsuz aşı tutumunun %29'unu (R 2 : 0,290) açıklamıştır. COVID-19 Aşı Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği'nin alt boyutu olan iletişimsel/eleştirel aşı okuryazarlığı olumlu aşı tutumunun %38'ini (R 2 : 0,380), olumsuz aşı tutumunun %32'sini (R 2 : 0,323) açıklamıştır. Olumlu aşı tutumunu en fazla etkileyen değişken iletişimsel/eleştirel aşı okuryazarlığı (β: 0,391) olmuştur. Sonuç: Gebelerde COVID-19 aşı okuryazarlığının artmasının COVID-19 aşısına karşı hem olumlu hem de olumsuz tutumu benzer oranlarda açıkladığını göstermiştir. Salgın gibi durumlarda karar verme mekanizmalarının doğru çalışması, fikir birliğinin sağlanması ve gebelerin en doğru ve sağlıklı bilgi kaynaklarına yönlendirilmeleri önemli olmaktadır. Bireylerin aşılanma oranlarını artırmak için hükümetler, medya, aşı şirketleri, sağlık çalışanları ve bilim insanları birlikte hareket etmelidir.Anah tar Ke li me ler: COVID-19; aşı okuryazarlığı; tutum; gebelik ABS TRACT Objective: Pregnant women constitute a significant population whose coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) vaccine acceptance is not sufficient. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine whether COVID-19 vaccine literacy explains COVID-19 vaccine attitudes in pregnant women. Material and Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study completed with 204 pregnant women. Data were collected using an online survey instrument. The questionnaire consisted of a personal information form, COVID-19 Vaccine Literacy Scale and attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccine. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used in the analysis of the data. Results: It was observed that 68.1% of pregnant women received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine after the COVID-19 vaccine started to be administered, and 91.4% of these pregnant women preferred to receive the COVID-19 vaccine after pregnancy. Functional vaccine literacy, a sub-dimension of the COVID-19 Vaccine Literacy Scale, explained 30% (R 2 : 0.302) of positive vaccine attitude and 29...

This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to estimate the prevalence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine hesitancy in Turkey, which can aid future health policies and strategies. A comprehensive search was conducted on various databases using keywords related to COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in Turkey. Quality assessment was performed using Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) checklist for prevalence studies. Data extraction was conducted. The random effect model (DerSimonian and Laird method) was used in pooled prevalence data analysis (95% confidence interval [CI]). A total of 1,072 articles were identified. After removing duplicates and excluding articles, 61 articles remained for bias assessment. Among these, 19 articles with low risk of bias were included in the review and meta-analysis. Total population included in the analysis was 15,164, vaccine hesitancy was 30.5% (95% Cl: 24.3–36.8%). Prevalence of the vaccine hesitancy was found to be 39.8% (95% Cl: 31.4–48.2%) in studies conducted before the initiation of vaccination, while in studies conducted after the commencement of vaccination, hesitancy was 20.4% (95% Cl: 12.9–28%). We suggest conducting high-quality studies in different populations to understand the level of vaccine hesitancy, as many of the previous studies have mainly focused on healthcare workers and students, and rest were community-based studies, which have generally shown high bias. Also, we suggest that early vaccination can reduce vaccine hesitancy.
