| description | Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of rotavirus in 0-5 children living in the city center in Zonguldak, and to determine the parents' knowledge levels and applications for rotavirus. Methods: This study was a descriptive cross-sectional research. The study was conducted with 354 parents between March 2019 and May 2019. Arithmetic mean, standard deviation, median, minimum-maximum, percentage-number values and chi square test were used to data analysing. Results: In the study, 15.5% of the parents who stated that their children encountered rotavirus. It was determined that 57.6% of the parents knew rotavirus, and 51.1% of them were aware of rotavirus vaccine. The reasons why parents did not receive rotavirüs vaccine include not hearing the rotavirus vaccine and financial impossibility. Conclusion: In the study, although parents had a high knowledge of the rotavirus vaccine the rate of rotavirus vaccination was low. It was determined that the rate of having their child given rotavirus vaccine increased as mothers’ education level increased (p>.05). |
