Özet:

 The subject of this research is to examine how parents who refuse childhood vaccinations are persuaded by Family Health Center ASM staff. The aim of the study is to identify the strategies and approaches used by ASM staff to persuade parents who refuse vaccinations. The research was conducted using qualitative research methods. After obtaining the necessary permissions from relevant institutions and ethical committee approval, in-depth face-to-face interviews were conducted using semi-structured interview forms with doctors, nurses, and midwives working in ASMs in a province in the Central Black Sea Region. Snowball sampling method and phenomenological design were used in the interviews. In the interviews, ASM staff were asked how they behaved when they encountered parents who refused vaccinations and what methods they used to persuade parents to vaccinate their children. ASM staff indicated that parents refuse vaccinations for many health-related, religious, and cultural reasons, and that they use different approaches to persuade them to vaccinate their children. The research findings revealed that parents refuse vaccinations because they are concerned about potential side effects such as autism, infertility, and paralysis. ASM staff, on the other hand, tried to persuade parents by emphasizing that there is no scientific evidence to justify these concerns, that the future of unvaccinated children is at risk, that vaccinations are essential for the best interests of the children, and by discussing the potential health problems, legal, religious, and social consequences of not vaccinating. ASM staff reported using fear as a method of persuasion and considered parents fears as vulnerabilities to persuade them.

 Araştırmanın konusu, çocukluk aşılarını reddeden ebeveynlerin ASM çalışanları tarafından nasıl ikna edildiklerini incelemektir. Çalışmanın amacı, ASM çalışanlarının aşı reddi yapan ebeveynleri ikna etmek için kullandıkları stratejileri ve yaklaşımları tespit etmektir. Araştırma nitel araştırma yöntemleriyle yapılmıştır. Araştırma sahasının ilgili kurumlarından gerekli izinler ve etik kuruldan onay alındıktan sonra, Orta Karadeniz Bölgesinde bir ildeki ASMlerde hizmet veren hekim, hemşire ve ebelerle yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formları kullanılarak derinlemesine yüz yüze görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kartopu örneklem yöntemi ile gerçekleştirilen görüşmelerde fenomenoloji deseni kullanılmıştır. Görüşmelerde ASM çalışanlarına, aşı reddi yapan ebeveynlerle karşılaştıklarında onlara nasıl davrandıkları ve ebeveynleri çocuklarına aşı yaptırmaya ikna etmek için hangi metotları kullandıkları sorulmuş, yaşadıkları deneyimleri anlatmaları istenmiştir. ASM çalışanları, ebeveynlerin aşı reddinde bulunmalarının sağlıkla ilgili, dini ve kültürel pek çok nedenleri olduğunu, onları aşı yaptırmaya ikna etmek için farklı yaklaşımlarda bulunduklarını ifade etmişlerdir. Araştırma bulgularında, ebeveynler ASM çalışanlarına aşıların yan etkilerinden kaynaklanabilecek otizm, kısırlık, felç gibi sağlık sorunları yaşamaktan endişe ettikleri için aşıları reddettiklerini belirtmişlerdir. ASM çalışanları ise ebeveynlerin bu endişelerini haklı gösterecek bilimsel verilerin olmadığını, aşı yapılmayan çocukların geleceğinin tehlikede olduğunu, çocukların yüksek yararı için aşılarının mutlaka yapılması gerektiğini, aşı yaptırmamaktan doğabilecek sağlık sorunlarını ve aşı yaptırmamanın hukuki, dini ve toplumsal sonuçlarını anlatarak ebeveynleri ikna etmeye çalıştıklarını belirtmişlerdir. ASM çalışanları, korkuyu bir ikna yöntemi olarak kullanmışlar ve ebeveynlerin korkularını zaafları olarak değerlendirerek onları ikna etmeye çalışmışlardır.
