Effect of Primary Care Education on Parents' Health-Related Perceptions and Attitudes

This study aims to evaluate the effect of a structured education program delivered in primary health care settings on parents of children aged 0-2 years. The education focuses on childhood vaccination and related health perceptions. Parents will receive education covering childhood vaccines, vaccine hesitancy, evaluation of vaccine-related information obtained from digital sources, eco-anxiety, and perceived vulnerability to diseases. The study examines whether this education influences parents' levels of vaccine hesitancy, digital vaccine literacy, eco-anxiety, and perceived vulnerability to diseases. The findings are expected to contribute to the development of effective educational interventions in primary health care services to support informed parental decision-making regarding childhood vaccination.

Effects of Individual and Group Education on Mothers' Attitudes and Decisions About Childhood Vaccination

This study was planned to determine the effect of face-to-face and group education given to mothers regarding childhood vaccinations on their vaccination attitudes and decisions. It is believed that the education provided will help eliminate mothers' misconceptions and false beliefs about vaccines in the short term, and contribute to positive changes in their attitudes and decisions regarding vaccination. Moreover, it is anticipated that in the long term, this intervention will contribute to achieving better immunization rates and protecting children from vaccine-preventable diseases. This study is also important in terms of emphasizing the role of midwives in protecting and improving infant and community health.This study will be carried out as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of face-to-face and group education given to mothers regarding childhood vaccinations on their attitudes and decisions about vaccination. Mothers who have children within the age range in which childhood vaccinations are administered will be contacted and informed about the purpose and scope of the study, and they will be asked whether they agree to participate. Mothers who consent to participate will be randomly assigned into three groups using computer-assisted randomization (https://www.random.org/ ): Group 1: Mothers receiving individual face-to-face education, Group 2: Mothers receiving group education, and Group 3: Control group (receiving the routine unit-based information).
