Giriş: Doktor tavsiyesi, aşıları kabul etmede en önemli faktördür. Bu nedenle sağlık çalışanlarının aşı tereddütlerinin değerlendirilmesi daha da önem kazanmıştır. Bu çalışmada sağlık çalışanları için Türk Aşı Tereddüt Ölçeğinin kesme değerlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntem: Bu kesitsel çalışma üçüncü basamak bir hastanede yapılmıştır. Hastanedeki 1281 personelden 891 kişi çalışmaya dahil edildi. Katılımcılara aşı reddi öyküsü ve Türkiye Aşı Tereddüt Ölçeğinden oluşan anket uygulandı. Precision-recall grafiği ve F1 skoru kesme değerini belirlemek için kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Toplam 891 katılımcının 525'i (%58,9) kadındı. Ortalama yaş 31,3±8,1 idi. Hayatında en az bir kez aşıyı reddeden katılımcı sayısı 91(%10,2) oldu. ROC eğrisi altındaki alan 0,727 (%95 GA:0,665-0,790), p<0,001 idi. En yüksek F1 puanına (0,3587) sahip kesme değeri 44,5'tir.
Sonuç: Türkiye aşı tereddüt ölçeğinden 45 ve üzeri puan alanlar aşı çekingen, 45 puanın altında olanlar ise aşı kabul eden olarak gruplandırılabilir.

Introduction: Physician advice is the most crucial factor in accepting vaccines. Therefore, evaluating the vacccine hesitancy of healthcare workers has gained more significance. This study aimed to determine the cut-off values of the Turkish vaccine hesitancy scale for healthcare workers.
Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary hospital. There were 1281 staff at the hospital and 891 were included in the study. The survey which consisted of vaccine rejection history and the Turkish Vaccine Hesitancy Scale was applied to participants. Precision-recall plot and F1 score were used to determine the cut-off value.
Results:
Of the total 891 participants, 525(58.9%) were female. The mean age was 31.3±8.1 years. The number of participants who have rejected a vaccine at least once in their life was 91(10.2%). The area under the ROC curve was 0.727 (95% CI:0.665-0.790), p<0.001. The threshold point which has the highest F1 score (0.3587) was 44.5.
Conclusion
Healthcare workers who get 45 or higher points from the Turkish Vaccine Hesitancy Scale can be grouped as vaccine-hesitant while others who get lower than 45 points can be grouped as vaccine acceptor.
