The study was conducted to determine the vaccination rates and related factors among the elderly.
Cross-sectional study.
This study was conducted with 984 elderly people living in a province in western Turkey.
The single-stage cluster sampling method was used in the sample selection. The descriptive statistics, the chi-square analysis, the Mann-Whitney U test and the logistic regression analysis for the multivariate analysis were used to evaluate the data.
It was determined that 45.6% of the elderly were vaccinated after the age of 65 and the most frequently administered vaccines were influenza (41.3%), pneumococcal (10.9%), and tetanus (5.5%) vaccines. Higher vaccination rates were determined in the following demographics, namely by 1.8-fold (95% CI, 1.4-2.4) in those living in urban areas, by 2.6-fold (95% CI, 1.8-3.9) in those with high school or higher education, by 1.5-fold (95% CI, 1.0-2.5) in those who did not work, by 1.7-fold (95% CI, 1.3-2.3) in those with chronic diseases and by 2-fold (95% CI, 1.1-3.4) in those who fulfilled their physical own needs themselves.
This study showed that more than half of the elderly did not receive any vaccinations in old age. The vaccination rates of the elderly were associated with many factors.
开展本研究以确定老年人的疫苗接种率及相关因素。
横断面研究。
本研究对居住在土耳其西部某省的984名老年人进行。
样本选择采用单阶段整群抽样方法。使用描述性统计、卡方分析、曼-惠特尼U检验和多变量分析的逻辑回归分析来评估数据。
确定65岁及以上老年人中有45.6%接种了疫苗，最常接种的疫苗是流感疫苗（41.3%）、肺炎球菌疫苗（10.9%）和破伤风疫苗（5.5%）。在以下人口统计学特征中确定了较高的疫苗接种率，即居住在城市地区的人群接种率高1.8倍（95%置信区间，1.4 - 2.4），高中及以上学历人群高2.6倍（95%置信区间，1.8 - 3.9），未工作人群高1.5倍（95%置信区间，1.0 - 2.5），患有慢性病的人群高1.7倍（95%置信区间，1.3 - 2.3），能够自己满足身体需求的人群高2倍（95%置信区间，1.1 - 3.4）。
本研究表明，超过一半的老年人在老年时未接种任何疫苗。老年人的疫苗接种率与许多因素相关。
