ABSTRACT
Background:
The study was conducted to determine the attitudes of university students who received online education during the pandemic towards Covid-19 vaccines.
Material and methods:
This descriptive and correlational type study was conducted between April and June 2021. There were approximately 2,500 students studying at a private university in Istanbul during the 2020-2021 academic year, and the sample size was 222. The data collection tools used included the student information form and the Perception and Attitude Scale Related with Covid-19 pandemic. The data were analyzed using number, percentage, mean and Student’s t-test, Mann Whitney U-test and one way ANOVA.
Results:
The mean positive attitude score towards Covid-19 vaccines was 3.37, and the negative attitude score towards Covid-19 vaccines was 3.24. It was concluded that students’ attitudes towards the vaccine were undecided.
Conclusions:
Factors such as age, gender, residential area, family type, presence of chronic disease or being diagnosed with Covid-19 do not make a significant difference in the attitude of students towards Covid-19 vaccines. Marital status was the only significant factor that made a difference in attitude towards Covid-19 vaccines.
