Abstract

It is known that newspaper news is an important
cause of the increasing vaccination refusal in Turkey. However, there has been
no content or number review about the news. The aim of this study is to conduct
a qualitative and quantitative analysis of news about vaccines and vaccinations
and to enlighten the interventions that will prevent the misinformation of the
society in this way. All news of the three most popular newspapers on the
internet about vaccines and vaccination within the last three years were
reviewed. The characteristics of 286 news such as type, date, source, subjects,
its message and the compatibility with the scientific data were evaluated. It
was observed that the number of news on vaccimnes and vaccination have been
increasing over the years. It was found that the number of news on vaccination
refusal in 2018 was statistically significant compared to those of other years
(p<0.00). When the news contain incompatible with scientific data were
examined, it was observed that autism, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's and
other chronic diseases were associated with vaccination, there was claims that
vaccines are unnecessary, and there were news including incorrect information
about vaccination in situations such as pregnancy and egg allergy. Information
is the fundamental step in any intervention aimed at increasing vaccine
coverage. Internet newspapers are important in the circulation of health
information and should be used more frequently. However, news should be checked
by health authorities; non-scientific and misleading information should be
prevented.

CONTENT REVIEW OF VACCINES AND VACCINATION RELATED NEWS IN INTERNET NEWSPAPERS - İNTERNET GAZETELERİNİN AŞILAR ve AŞILAMAYLA İLGİLİ HABERLERİNİN İÇERİK İNCELEMESİ

Abstract

Ülkemizde artan
aşı karşıtlığının önemli bir nedeninin gazete haberleri olduğu bilinmektedir.
Ancak bu haberlere ilişkin bir içerik ve sayı incelemesi yapılmamıştır.

Bu araştırmanın
amacı aşılar ve aşılama ile ilgili yapılan gazete haberlerinin niteliksel ve
niceliksel incelemesini yapmak, bu yolla toplumun yanlış bilgilendirilmesine
engel olacak müdahalelere ışık tutmaktır.

İnternette en çok
tıklanan 3 gazetenin aşılar ve aşılama ile ilgili son 3 yıla ait tüm haberleri
incelenmiştir. Ulaşılan 286 haberin: türü, tarihi, kaynağı, konuları, verdiği
mesaj ve bilimsel verilerle uyumluluğu gibi özellikleri değerlendirilmiştir. Haber
sayılarının yıllar içinde arttığı görülmüştür. ‘Aşı karşıtlığı’ konusunda 2018
yılında yapılan haberlerin sayısının diğer yıllarda yapılanlardan istatistiksel
olarak anlamlı düzeyde fazla olduğu bulunmuştur (p<0,00).

Bilimsel verilerle
uyumsuz haberlere bakıldığında otizm, multiple skleroz, Alzheimer ve başka
kronik hastalıkların aşılarla ilişkilendirildiği; aşıların gereksiz olduğu
iddiaları; gebelik ve yumurta alerjisi gibi durumlarda aşılama ile ilgili
yanlış bilgi içeren haberlerin bulunduğu görülmüştür.

Bilgilendirme aşı kapsayıcılığının artırılmasını
hedefleyen her müdahalenin temel basamağıdır. Sağlık bilgisinin topluma ulaştırılmasında internet gazeteleri
önemlidir ve daha sık kullanılmalıdır. Ancak haberler sağlık otoritelerince
kontrol edilmeli; bilimsel olmayan bilgiler içeren, toplumu yanlış yönlendiren
haberler engellenmelidir.
