Abstract

Cilj ovog kvalitativnog istraživanja bio je steći detaljniji uvid i bolje razumijevanje različitih aspekata roditeljske odluke o odbijanju cijepljenja vlastitog djeteta. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo ukupno 8 majki iz nekoliko hrvatskih gradova. Podaci, prikupljeni polustrukturiranim intervjuom, ukazuju na važnost neposrednog i negativnog iskustva s nuspojavama cjepiva. Promišljanje o odbijanju cijepljenja u prosjeku traje do godinu dana pri čemu su se trudnoća i prvih nekoliko mjeseci nakon poroda pokazali iznimno važnim. Čimbenici koji su potaknuli majke da dovedu u pitanje cijepljenje su pretpostavljeni negativni učinci cijepljenja kod njima bliskih osoba ili karakteristike vlastitog djeteta koje zbog kojih su smatrale da cjepivo ne bi bilo primjereno. Majke ne vjeruju u učinkovitost cjepiva po pitanju zaštite od zaraznih bolesti, ističu zabrinutost zbog primjene kombiniranih cjepiva te vjeruju da su autizam i cjepiva povezani. Kada je u pitanju odnos s pedijatrom, majke većinom nisu zadovoljne količinom i kvalitetom pruženih informacija te iskazuju i nezadovoljstvo u postupku evidentiranja nuspojava. U radu pedijatara majke priželjkuju veću otvorenost uz argumentiranu i informiranu raspravu te strpljivost u komunikaciji. Što se tiče izvora informiranja, majke najčešće navode internet, druge osobe te knjige. Emocije koje prate odbijanje cijepljenja su strah, zabrinutost, potencijalna krivnja te ljutnja na sustav.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this qualitative research was to gain a more detailed insight and a better understanding of the various aspects of a parent's decision to refuse their own child's vaccination. A total of 8 mothers from several Croatian cities participated in the study. The data, obtained through a semi-structured interview, indicate the importance of an immediate and negative experience with vaccine side effects. Considering about refusing vaccinations lasts about a year on average, with pregnancy and the first few months postpartum proving to be the most important. The factors that prompted mothers to question vaccination were the perceived negative effects of vaccination on their close relatives or the characteristics of their own child. All that made them feel that the vaccine would not be appropriate for their child. Mothers question the efficacy of vaccines for infectious diseases, point out concerns about combinating vaccines, and believe that autism and vaccines are interlinked. Regarding the relationship with the pediatrician, mentioned mothers are mostly not satisfied with the amount and quality of the information provided. They also express dissatisfaction with the procedure for recording vaccination side effects. In the work of pediatricians, mothers desire greater openness with argumentative and informed discussion and patience during their communication. In terms of information sources, mothers most often cite the Internet, other persons and books. Refusing to vaccinate one's own child is linked with fear, worry, potential guilt and anger at the system.
