This study aims to determine the prevalence and causes of childhood vaccine and measles vaccine hesitancy and refusal among healthcare students in Turkey. The pool of this cross-sectional study, which included 718 students, was made up of healthcare students from the Faculty of Health Sciences at Balikesir University (N = 960). It was determined that 10% of students surveyed were hesitant regarding childhood vaccines, while 11.8% were hesitant with regard to the measles vaccine, specifically. Many of the participants held the belief that chronic idiopathic diseases such as multiple sclerosis and autism are related to vaccines; they also believed that vaccines should not be mandatory. More alarming than this, however, was that in response to a question regarding the measles vaccine, many of the students responded that "I would not have my child vaccinated with the vaccines administered by the Ministry of Health if I had a child." The findings revealed, overall, that the rates of childhood vaccine hesitancy and measles vaccine hesitancy are high among the healthcare students who were surveyed and that a high number of healthcare students hold negative attitudes that are related to rates of vaccine hesitancy.
本研究旨在确定土耳其医学生中儿童疫苗和麻疹疫苗犹豫和拒绝接种的流行率和原因。这项横断面研究的对象是来自巴勒克埃西尔大学健康科学学院的 718 名学生（N=960），其中 10%的被调查学生对儿童疫苗犹豫不决，而 11.8%的学生对麻疹疫苗犹豫不决。许多参与者认为多发性硬化症和自闭症等慢性特发性疾病与疫苗有关；他们还认为疫苗不应该强制接种。更令人担忧的是，在回答一个关于麻疹疫苗的问题时，许多学生回答说：“如果我有孩子，我不会让我的孩子接种卫生部提供的疫苗。”研究结果总体表明，被调查的医学生中儿童疫苗犹豫和麻疹疫苗犹豫的比率较高，而且许多医学生对疫苗犹豫率持消极态度。
