Özet:

 Objective: Measles is a highly contagious airborne disease, that can lead to serious complications and even death. Hepatitis B, on the other hand, is an infectious disease caused by the hepatitis B virus, transmitted through contact with infected blood and bodily fluids. This study aims to evaluate the awareness and vaccination status regarding measles and hepatitis B among dental intern students, who are considered one of the most at-risk groups for infectious diseases. Material and Methods: In this cross-sectional survey study, a comprehensive questionnaire was administered to intern students n157, covering their vaccination rates, knowledge, and education about measles and hepatitis B. The data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Results: It was found that 22.9 of the students had sufficient knowledge about measles, and 58.6 had been vaccinated against it. The measles vaccination rate among female students was significantly higher than that of male students p0.011. A total of 77.1 of the students stated that they would get the measles vaccine without hesitation, and 80.9 believed that the measles vaccine is not harmful. It was found that students who had more knowledge about hepatitis B had higher vaccination rates. p0.04. While 62.4 of the students received education about measles, 37.6 did not, and 26.5 of those who received education found it insufficient. It was determined that 65.6 of the students had sufficient knowledge about hepatitis B. The hepatitis B vaccination rate was statistically higher among fifth-year students p0.001. A total of 92.4 of the students believed that the hepatitis B vaccine is not harmful, and 97.5 stated that they would get the hepatitis B vaccine without hesitation. It was found that students with higher levels of knowledge about hepatitis B had higher vaccination rates p0.004. In response to the question Have you received education about hepatitis B? 92.4 answered yes, and 7.6 answered no. Of those who received education, 15.3 found it insufficient. The study concluded that students knowledge levels and vaccination rates for measles were much lower compared to hepatitis B. Conclusion: It was determined that those who believed vaccines were harmful and those who did not get vaccinated without hesitation lacked sufficient knowledge about vaccines. Therefore, it is evident that dental intern students, who are constantly in contact with mucosal secretions and blood, need more comprehensive education on infectious diseases, particularly measles, and prevention methods, including vaccination.

 Amaç: Kızamık hava yoluyla bulaşan ve ciddi komplikasyonlara ve ölüme yol açabilen oldukça bulaşıcı bir hastalıktır. Hepatit B ise, infekte kan ve vücut sıvılarına temasla bulaşan Hepatit B virüsünün neden olduğu bulaşıcı bir enfeksiyondur. Bu çalışmada bulaşıcı hastalıklar açısından en riskli gruplardan olan diş hekimliği stajyer öğrencilerinin kızamık ve hepatit B hakkındaki farkındalık ve aşı durumlarının değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu kesitsel anket çalışmasında, stajyer öğrencilere n157 kızamık ve hepatit B aşılanma oranları ile bilgi ve eğitim durumlarını içeren kapsamlı bir anket uygulandı. Veriler ki-kare testi kullanılarak analiz edildi. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin 22.9unun kızamık hakkında yeterli bilgiye, 58.6sının ise kızamık aşısına sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Kız öğrencilerin kızamık aşılanma oranı erkeklerden anlamlı derecede yüksek bulunmuştur p0.011. Öğrencilerin 77.1i tereddütsüz kızamık aşısı yaptıracağını, 80.9u kızamık aşısının zararlı olmadığını düşünmektedir. Kızamık aşısını zararlı bulanların bilgi düzeylerinin düşük olduğu tespit edilmiştir p0.04. Öğrencilerin 62.4ü kızamık hakkında ders alırken, 37.6sı almamıştır ve ders alanların 26.5i aldıkları eğitimi yetersiz bulmuştur. Öğrencilerin 65.6sının hepatit B için yeterli bilgi düzeyine sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Hepatit B aşılanma oranı beşinci sınıflarda istatistiksel olarak daha yüksek tespit edilmiştir p0.001. Öğrencilerin 92.4ünün hepatit B aşısının zararlı olmadığını düşündüğü, 97.5inin ise tereddütsüz hepatit B aşısı yaptıracağı belirlenmiştir. Hepatit B bilgi düzeyi yüksek olanların aşılanma oranlarının daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir p0.004. Hepatit B hakkında ders aldınız mı sorusuna 92.4 evet, 7.6 hayır cevabı vermiştir. Ders alanların 15.3ü verilen dersi yetersiz bulmuştur. Öğrencilerin kızamık bilgi düzeylerinin ve aşılanma oranlarının hepatit Bye göre çok daha düşük olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Aşıların zararlı olduğunu düşünenlerin ve tereddütsüz aşı yaptırmayanların aşılar hakkında yeterli bilgiye sahip olmadıkları tespit edilmiştir. Bu nedenle mukozal sekresyonlar ve kanla sürekli temas halinde olan diş hekimliği stajyer öğrencilerine başta kızamık olmak üzere bulaşıcı hastalıklar ve korunma yolları hakkında genel bilgiler ve aşılanma ile ilgili daha kapsamlı eğitim verilmesi gerektiği görülmektedir.
