Abstract

Visoka stopa procijepljenosti važna je za sprječavanje zaraznih bolesti šire populacije. Programima cijepljenja djece smanjene su pojave mnogih bolesti, a neke su potpuno iskorijenjene. Unatoč uspjehu cijepljenja mnogi roditelji su neodlučni u vezi cijepljenja svoje djece. U porastu je i broj onih koji ne žele cijepiti svoje dijete i to najčešće pod utjecajem medija, različitih društvenih grupa na internetu koje propagiraju necijepljenje. Ovim istraživanjem se žele utvrditi čimbenici koji utječu na stav roditelja o cijepljenju. Uočeno je da je primarni faktor koji utječe na odluku cijepljenja informiranost roditelja s naglaskom na njihovu informacijsku i medijsku pismenost. Zaključak je da nedostatak znanja o prednostima cijepljenja stvara otpor prema cijepljenju stoga zdravstvena struka ima važnu ulogu u informiranju građana o cijepljenju nudeći im pouzdane i vjerodostojne znanstveno dokazane činjenice i upućujući ih na relevantne stručne medicinske izvore informacija.

Abstract (english)

A high vaccination rate is important for the prevention of infectious diseases within the general population. Children’s vaccination programs have reduced the occurrence of many diseases, with some of them being completely eradicated. Despite the high vaccine efficacy many parents are still hesitant about vaccinating their children. The number of those who do not want to vaccinate their children is also increasing, and it is mostly influenced by the media and various social anti- vaccination organizations.
This research aims to determine the influencing factors towards parents' attitudes regarding vaccination. It has been observed that the primary factor influencing the decision to vaccinate is parents' awareness and level of knowledge with an emphasis on their information and media literacy.
The conclusion is that inadequate level of knowledge about the benefits of vaccination create resistance to vaccination, therefore, the health professionals play an important role in informing citizens about vaccination by offering them reliable and credible scientifically proven facts and referring them to relevant professional medical information sources.
