Aim: The aim of this study is to reveal the difference in academics' anti-vaccine and rational drug use behaviors according to their sociodemographic characteristics during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Method: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out with 468 academics working in different fields in Turkey. A Sociodemographic Information Form, the Vaccine Hesitancy Scale, and Rational Drug Use Scale were used to collect data online. The data were analyzed via the independent sample t-test, ANOVA and Tukey's test.
Results: The level of vaccine hesitancy was significantly higher in male, and between the ages of 31-40, and who were working in the field of physical sciences. Female academics, and professors, and who working in the field of health sciences exhibited more rational drug use behaviors (p<0.01).
Conclusion and Recommendations: A significant difference was observed in the vaccine hesitancy status of academics according to field, title, and age and in rational drug use according to field, title, and gender. Governments, health managers, and policymakers can be recommended to collaborate with prominent young and senior scientists, particularly those working in the field of physical sciences and health sciences, to protect and improve public health.

Akademisyenlerin Aşı Karşıtı ve Akılcı İlaç Kullanım Davranışlarının Değerlendirilmesi: Kesitsel Bir Çalışma
Öz
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, akademisyenlerin COVID-19 pandemisi sürecinde sosyodemografik özelliklerine göre aşı karşıtı ve akılcı ilaç kullanım davranışlarındaki farkı ortaya koymaktır.
Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipteki bu araştırma, Türkiye'de farklı alanlarda çalışan 468 akademisyen ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çevrimiçi veri toplamak için Sosyodemografik Bilgi Formu, Aşı Tereddüt Ölçeği ve Akılcı İlaç Kullanım Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Veriler bağımsız örneklem t testi, ANOVA ve Tukey testi ile analiz edildi.
Bulgular: Erkeklerde, 31-40 yaşları arasında ve fen bilimleri alanında çalışan kişilerde aşı tereddüt düzeyi anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti. Kadın akademisyenler, profesörler ve sağlık bilimleri alanında görev yapanlar daha akılcı ilaç kullanım davranışı sergilediler (p<0.01).
Sonuç ve Öneriler: Akademisyenlerin aşı tereddüt durumlarında alan, unvan ve yaşa göre, akılcı ilaç kullanımında ise alan, unvan ve cinsiyete göre anlamlı farklılık görülmüştür. Hükümetlere, sağlık yöneticilerine ve politika yapıcılara, halk sağlığını korumak ve geliştirmek için özellikle fizik bilimleri ve sağlık bilimleri alanında çalışanlar olmak üzere önde gelen genç ve kıdemli bilim insanlarıyla işbirliği yapmaları önerilebilir.
