Özet
Introduction and Aim: Nurses, who are in direct contact with patients during the pandemic process, are among the most risky group among healthcare professionals. For this reason, nurses are afraid of getting COVID-19 infection and infecting their relatives while providing care to their patients. It is extremely important that vaccination begins and priority is given to healthcare workers, especially nurses. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of nurses' vaccination attitudes on fear of COVID-19 during the pandemic process. Materials and Methods: This research is a prospective descriptive study. No sample selection was made in the study, and 158 nurses working in two private hospitals were studied in March 2021. An Introductory Information Form prepared by the researchers in line with the literature; “Attitudes Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Scale”, “COVID 19 Fear Scale” was applied. Ethics commitee approval of the study and written consents of the nurses participating in the study were obtained. In the analysis of the data, besides descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation), Mann Whitney U test was used for comparisons. The results were evaluated at 95% confidence interval and p <0.05 significance level. Results: It was determined that 89.3% of the nurses participating in the study were women and 5.0% were between the ages of 20-30, 83.6% had no chronic disease, 31.4% had COVID-19 infection and 20.1% had COVID 19 infection at home. . In the COVID-19 Fear Scale, it was determined that 41.1% of the nurses answered "I agree" to the item "I am afraid of losing their life due to coranavirus." In the Attitudes Towards COVID-19 Vaccine Scale; It was determined that 77.2% of the nurses wanted to be vaccinated. Conclusion: In our study, it was observed that the nurses' attitudes towards vaccination were positive for themselves and their relatives. It was determined that they were afraid of getting sick and dying due to COVID-19. We believe that the vaccination of healthcare personnel, especially nurses, who interact the most with the patient, during the COVID-19 process is extremely important in order to prevent healthcare services from interrupting and preventing losses.
