Özet:

 Objective: In this study, the main aim was to investigate the knowledge, attitude and behavior of university students for hepatitis B. The secondary aim is to screen these university students for HBsAg and Anti-HBs, to vaccinate unvaccinated healthy individuals, and to refer carriers and sick individuals to clinics for follow-up and treatment. Materials and Methods: This study included 1850 Cukurova University students determined by randomization over a two-year period. Evaluation was made on 1428 people who accepted to participate in the survey. A questionnaire consisting of 15 questions was applied to investigate the sociodemographic characteristics, medical background, knowledge, attitude and behavior levels of the students about hepatitis B and vaccine. Unvaccinated healthy individuals were vaccinated. HBsAg positive individuals were referred to clinics for treatment. Results: 5cc of blood was taken from 1395 of 1428 students who were surveyed to check HBsAg and AntiHBs levels. Anti-HBs  in 193 13.8 university students, HBsAg  in 17 1.2 university students, and both HBsAg  and Anti-HBs  in one student was detected. 1184 students 84.8 who were susceptible to hepatitis B infection were vaccinated with at least one dose of hepatitis B vaccine. Conclusion: In general, it was determined that the knowledge level of university students about hepatitis B and vaccination was insufficient, and the rate of vaccination was very low.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmada üniversite öğrencilerinde hepatit B için bilgi, tutum ve davranışının araştırılması temel amaç olarak planlanmıştır. İkincil amaç ise belirlenen bu üniversite öğrencilerinin HBsAg ve Anti-HBs yönünden taranması, aşısız sağlıklı bireylerin aşılanması, taşıyıcı ve hasta bireylerin ise takip ve tedavi için kliniklere yönlendirilmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma iki yıllık bir süreçte, randomizasyonla belirlenen 1850 Çukurova Üniversitesi Üniversitesi öğrencisi dahil edilmiştir. An- kete katılmayı kabul eden 1428 kişi üzerinden değerlendirme yapılmıştır. Öğrencilerin sosyodemografik özellikleri, medikal özgeçmişleri, hepatit B ve aşı konusunda bilgi, tutum ve davranış düzeylerini araştırmak için 15 sorudan oluşan anket uygulandı. Aşısız sağlıklı bireyler aşılandı. HBsAg pozitif saptanan bireyler ise tedavi için kliniklere yönlendirildi. Bulgular: Anket uygulanan 1428 öğrencinin 1395inden HBsAg ve AntiHBs düzeylerine bakmak için 5cc kan alındı. 193 13.8 üniversite öğrencisinde Anti-HBs liği, 17 1.2 üniversite öğrencisinde HBsAg liği, bir öğrencide ise hem HBsAg liği hem de Anti HBs liği saptandı. Hepatit B enfeksiyonuna duyarlı olan 1184 öğrenci  84.8 en az bir doz Hepatit B aşısı ile aşılandı. Sonuç: Genel olarak üniversite öğrencilerinin hepatit B ve aşı konusunda bilgi düzeyinin yetersiz olduğu, aşılanma oranının ise çok düşük oranda olduğu saptanmıştır.
