dc.description.abstractIntroduction: It is known that viral infections trigger exacerbations in asthma patients. There are conflicting reports on whether influenza vaccine is preventive or not. In this study, we aimed to evaluate asthmatic patient's attitude towards influenza vaccine and to determine which factors affect this attitude. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire involving data about demographic information, co-morbidities, frequency of viral upper respiratory tract infections, subject's influenza vaccination status and attitude towards vaccination had been filled for our outpatient clinic asthma patients and also for healthy controls. Results were evaluated separately for the two groups and then compared to each other. Results: For the study; 108 asthma patients (91 female, 17 male) and 110 non-asthmatic controls (64 female, 46 male) were enrolled. In asthma group, vaccination rates were significantly higher in the previous year (40.7%) and nearly half of them stated that they do regularly have influenza shots every year. Contrast to this find; half of the patients in the control group stated that they do not need to vaccinate themselves and 26.2% said that they don't believe influenza vaccine has any preventive effect. Also in the asthma group, this ratio was similar to the control group (20.3%). In asthma group, 66.7% of the patients who had side effects at their previous shots did not want to vaccinate themselves this year (p= 0.02). More than a half of the patients (53.1%) whom did not have shots had an episode of viral upper respiratory tract infection this year and this rate was significantly lower in the vaccinated group (p= 0.00). This result highlights the preventive effect of vaccination. Conclusion: We found that asthma patients' knowledge on influenza infection and vaccine were insufficient and also their belief towards the preventive features of the vaccination was low. Informing and encouraging patients about preventive medicine through various activities and meetings would be crucial.en_US
