Öğe Evaluation of Nurses' Vaccine Hesitancy, Psychological Resilience, and Anxiety Levels During COVID-19 Pandemic(Aves, 2023) Akbulut, Sami; Boz, Gulseda; Gokce, Ayse; Unsal, Selver; Saritas, Hasan; Kizilay, Erva; Ozer, AliObjective: This study aimed to evaluate the vaccine hesitancy, psychological resilience, and anxiety levels of nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 676 nurses working at the survey time. Sociodemographic features, the status of hesitancy against the COVID-19 vaccine, the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale, and the Brief Resilience Scale were used in the questionnaire form to collect the data. Results: Most participants (68.6%; n = 464) stated they were hesitant about the COVID-19 vaccine. A significantly higher rate of hesitancy was detected in the age group of 20-39 years, those who did not have COVID-19 vaccine, and those who did not think the COVID-19 vaccine is protective (P < .05). It was determined that 6.8% (n = 46) of the nurses had COVID-19 anxiety. A significantly higher rate of anxiety was detected in the age group of 40 years and older, those working in the emergency department, and those working in the COVID-19 unit during the pandemic period (P < .05). The median Brief Resilience Scale score of nurses is 19(6). A negative, weak, and significant relationship was found between the Brief Resilience Scale and Coronavirus Anxiety Scale scores (P = .001). Conclusion: During the pandemic, higher rates of anxiety were detected in healthcare personnel and those working in COVID-19 units. It was also found that as the level of anxiety increased, the level of psychological resilience decreased. To reduce the anxiety level and strengthen the psychological resilience of nurses, the cornerstones of the health system, fast, effective, and curative interventions should be made.Öğe Evaluation of Vaccine Hesitancy and Anxiety Levels among Hospital Cleaning Staff and Caregivers during COVID-19 Pandemic(Mdpi, 2022) Akbulut, Sami; Gokce, Ayse; Boz, Gulseda; Saritas, Hasan; Unsal, Selver; Ozer, Ali; Akbulut, Mehmet SerdarIt is important to vaccinate individuals working in the field of health who are more at risk compared to society during the pandemic period. The aim of this study was to evaluate the vaccine hesitancy and anxiety levels of hospital cleaning staff and caregivers during the COVID-19 pandemic. This descriptive type cross-sectional study was conducted with 460 hospital cleaning staff and caregivers. Demographic and social characteristics form, Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS), and Vaccine Hesitancy Scale (VHS) adapted to the pandemic were used in the questionnaire form used to collect the data of the study. It was determined that the rates of hesitation against the COVID-19 vaccine and childhood vaccine were 42.2% (n = 194) and 10.9% (n = 50), respectively. Less than half of the participants (44.6%) believe that the COVID-19 vaccine is protective. COVID-19 anxiety (CAS score >= 9 point) was detected in 19.6% of participants and statistically significant differences were found between patients with (n = 90) and without (n = 370) anxiety regarding gender (p < 0.001), working unit (p = 0.002), vaccination status (p = 0.023) and history of psychological disease (p = 0.023). It has been shown that the VHS-total scores of those who are not vaccinated, those who are hesitant about vaccination, those who do not think that the vaccine is protective, and those who state that there is no need for a legal obligation in vaccination are higher. When participants were asked about the most anxious situation during the COVID-19 period, the highest response rate was 62.4% for my parents' exposure to COVID-19. The most anxious situation among participants is their parents' exposure to COVID-19. Although participants are highly vaccinated, they have serious hesitancy about the COVID-19 vaccine. This study also showed that there was a parallel relationship between COVID-19 anxiety and vaccine hesitancy.Öğe Evaluation of Vaccine Hesitancy, Anti-Vaccination, and Anxiety Levels for Medical Secretaries During COVID-19 Pandemic(2022) Akbulut, Ahmet Sami; Işıklı, Ayşe Gökçe; Boz, Gülseda; Tunç, Zeynep; Sarıtaş, Hasan; Unsal, SelverObjective: This study aimed to evaluate the vaccine hesitancy, anti-vaccination, and anxiety levels of medical secretaries during the pandemic.

Results: Median (IQR) CAS, VHS, and AVS scores of the participants were 2 (IQR=3), 32 (IQR=10), and 58 (IQR=16), respectively. 35.4 % of the participants were exposed to the COVID-19, and 87% were vaccinated against COVID-19. Participants' hesitations about the childhood and COVID-19 vaccines were 15.5 % and 49.1%, respectively. A significant relationship was found between the presence of Coronavirus anxiety and educational status (p=0.035), hesitancy against childhood vaccine (p=0.016), and working in COVID-19 Units (p=0.044). A statistically significant relationship was found between VHS scores and hesitancy against childhood vaccine (p=0.001), hesitancy against COVID-19 vaccine (p<0.001), vaccination against COVID-19 (p=0.014), belief that the COVID-19 vaccine is protective (p<0.001), and make COVID-19 vaccination mandatory (p<0.001). A significant relationship was found between AVS scores and vaccination against COVID-19 (p=0.002), hesitancy against COVID-19 vaccine (p<0.001), and belief that the COVID-19 vaccine is protective (p<0.001), making COVID-19 vaccination mandatory (p<0.001). Conclusion: The concern about their parents’ exposure to COVID-19 is high among secretaries. COVID 19 vaccine hesitancy is high among secretaries. During the pandemic, higher rates of anxiety were detected in secretaries and those working in COVID-19 units and lower in the high school education.
