OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and vaccination practices of family physicians in Muğla, Turkey, regarding rotavirus infection and vaccination.
METHODS: This descriptive cross-sectional study included family medicine residents and family physicians working in primary care settings in Muğla. Data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U, and Pearson chi-square tests. A p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
RESULTS: Among the participants, 88.6% recommended at least one vaccine not included in the national immunization schedule, with rotavirus vaccine being the most frequently recommended (91.9%). Rotavirus vaccine knowledge scores were significantly associated with age and the recommendation of vaccines not included in the national immunization schedule (p<0.001). Physicians who had vaccinated their own children had significantly higher knowledge scores (p=0.011).
CONCLUSION: Although family physicians demonstrated adequate general knowledge of rotavirus infection, vaccine-related knowledge was insufficient. Knowledge level appears to play a key role in shaping vaccination attitudes and behaviors, highlighting the need for targeted continuing medical education.
