Özet:

 Aim: Tetanus is a disease caused by Clostridium tetani with nervous system involvement, acute onset, and can be fatal. Although treatment options are limited, it is very important as it is a vaccine-preventable disease. As with many other issues, the level of knowledge and awareness of healthcare professionals about vaccination is very important for public health and plays a critical role in vaccination. In this study, it was aimed to examine the knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and vaccination rates of Health Services Vocational School HSVS students about tetanus vaccination. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire form was created on the internet and sent online to HSVS students. Data for the study were collected between April 2022 and May 2022. Results: The study included 606 participants. Of the participants, 263 43.4 reported that a reminder dose of tetanus vaccine should be given in adulthood. 236 participants 39.0 reported that they had received tetanus vaccination in the last 10 years. 411 67.8 of the participants stated that tetanus is a fatal disease and 208 34.3 of the participants stated that tetanus vaccination should be given to pregnant women. Conclusion:Tetanus is a vaccine-preventable disease and the level of knowledge and awareness of healthcare professionals directly and indirectly directs public health. Since tetanus is a vaccine-preventable disease, it is beneficial to increase the awareness of healthcare personnel on this subject starting from their student education.

 Amaç: Tetanoz; Clostridium tetaninin neden olduğu sinir sistemi tutulumu ile seyreden, akut başlayan ve mortal olabilen bir hastalıktır. Her ne kadar tedavi seçenekleri kısıtlı olsa da aşı ile önlenebilir bir hastalık olması açısından oldukça önemlidir. Pek çok konuda olduğu gibi aşılama konusunda da sağlık çalışanlarının bilgi ve bilinç düzeyi toplum sağlığı açısından oldukça önemlidir ve aşılama üzerine kritik bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu araştırmada; Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulu SHMYO öğrencilerinin, tetanoz aşılaması hakkındaki bilgi, tutum, davranış ve aşılanma oranlarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: İnternet ortamında anket formu oluşturularak ve SHMYO öğrencilerine online olarak iletilmiştir. Çalışmaya ait veriler Nisan 2022-Mayıs 2022 tarihleri arasında toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 606 katılımcı dahil edilmiştir. Katılımcıların 263ü 43,4 erişkin dönemde tetanoz aşısının hatırlatma dozunun yapılması gerektiğini bildirmiştir. 236 katılımcı 39,0 ise kendisine son 10 sene içinde tetanoz aşısı yapıldığını beyan etmiştir. Katılımcıların 411i 67,8 tetanozun ölümle seyredebilen bir hastalık olduğu yönünde fikir belirtmiş olup 208 katılımcı 34,3 gebelere tetanoz aşısının yapılması gerektiğini söylemiştir. Sonuç: Tetanoz aşı ile önlenebilen bir hastalık olup sağlık çalışanlarının bilgi düzeyi ve farkındalığı, doğrudan ve dolaylı olarak toplum sağlığına da yön vermektedir. Tetanoz hastalığı aşı ile önlenebilen bir hastalık olduğundan, sağlık personelinin öğrencilik eğitiminden itibaren bu konuda farkındalığın artırılmasında fayda vardır.
