Abstract Uvod: Cijepljenje je učinkovit pristup prevenciji infekcije i smanjenju smrtnosti od mnogih
poznatih zaraznih bolesti. Kako bi se spriječile komplikacije i brzo širenje bolesti COVID-19,
znanstvenici su pokrenuli veliki broj istraživanja u nastojanju suzbijanja infekcije. Vjeruje se
da će se dostupnošću sigurnog i djelotvornog cjepiva protiv COVID-19 infekcije postići velika
procijepljenost na globalnoj razini, a time i napredak u kontroli pandemije. Ključne prepreke u
cijepljenju uključuju nedostatak znanja i povjerenja te zabrinutost zbog djelotvornosti i
sigurnosti cjepiva.
Metode: Istraživanje je provedeno kroz mjesece svibanj i lipanj 2022. godine putem online
anketnog upitnika. Prvi dio upitnika obuhvaća sociodemografska pitanja, dok drugi dio
obuhvaća percepciju studenata o cjepivu protiv COVID-a 19 i sastoji se od 17 pitanja.
Rezultati: Protiv COVID-a 19 cijepilo se 75 % studenata, 88.89 % studenata sestrinstva i 56.25
% studenata fizioterapije. 43.9 % studenata navodi strah od nuspojava kao razlog zbog kojeg
se odbijaju cijepiti. Najjači motiv da se cijepe 48.6 % studenti navode da je to „jedini način da
se zaustavi pandemija“. Najviše studenata sestrinstva, njih 61.9 % bi izabralo cjepivo Pfizer
dok je najvećem broju studenata fizioterapije svejedno koje će cjepivo dobiti. Studenti se o
pandemiji COVID-19 u najvećem broju, njih 35.1 % informira iz medija, znanstvenih članaka
i od zdravstvenih djelatnika. Većina studenata je iskazala nisku razinu povjerenja u cjepivo.
Zaključak: Izbjegavanje cijepljenja protiv COVID-a 19 među studentima zdravstvenih studija
ima potencijalno negativne posljedice za njih same te može utjecati na prihvaćanje cjepiva
među općom populacijom. Povjerenje u zdravstveni sustav, uključujući sigurnost i učinkovitost
cjepiva, značajan je faktor za prihvaćanje cjepiva protiv COVID-19 kako među studentima tako
i u općoj populaciji. U svrhu što veće procijepljenosti među studentima potrebno je osmisliti
strategije utemeljene na dokazima koje bi promicale prihvaćanje cijepljenja. Kako bi se
osigurao uspjeh cijepljenja protiv COVID-a 19 državna tijela moraju pridobiti potporu i
izgraditi povjerenje nacije u cjepivo.
Abstract (english) Introduction: Vaccination is an effective approach to preventing infection and reducing
mortality from many known infectious diseases. In order to prevent complications and the rapid
spread of the COVID-19 disease, scientists have launched a large number of research in an
effort to suppress the infection. It is believed that with the availability of a safe and effective
vaccine against the COVID-19 infection, a large vaccination rate will be achieved on a global
level, and this progress in the control of the pandemic. Key barriers to vaccination include lack
of knowledge and confidence, and concerns about vaccine efficacy and safety.
Methods: The research was conducted in the months of May and June 2022 through an online
questionnaire. The first part of the questionnaire covers socio-demographic questions, while the
second part covers students' perception of the vaccine against COVID-19 and consists of 17
questions.
Results: 75 % of students, 88.89 % of nursing students and 56.25 % of physiotherapy students
were vaccinated against COVID-19. 43.9% of students cite fear of side effects as the reason
they refuse to be vaccinated. The strongest motive to get vaccinated, 48.6 % of students state
that it is "the only way to stop the pandemic". Most nursing students, 61.9 % of them, would
choose the Pfizer vaccine, while most physiotherapy students do not care which vaccine they
will receive. The largest number of students, 35.1 % of them, are informed about the COVID19 pandemic from the media, scientific articles and from health professionals. Most students
expressed a low level of trust in the vaccine.
Conclusion: Avoidance of vaccination against COVID-19 among health students has
potentially negative consequences for themselves and may affect vaccine acceptance among
the general population. Trust in the health care system, including vaccine safety and efficacy,
is a significant factor in the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine among both students and the
general population. To achieve the greatest possible vaccination among students, it is necessary
to devise evidence-based strategies that would promote the acceptance of vaccination. To
ensure the success of the COVID-19 vaccination, government agencies must gain support and
build the nation's confidence in the vaccine
