摘要：

To examine the pneumococcal, haemophilus influenza, hepatitis A virus (HAV), and hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine rates and and predictors of vaccination among a Türkiye population of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. In this multicenter, cross-sectional study, vaccination levels and related factors were questioned by face-to-face survey method during routine clinical examination of patients with RA followed in different regions of Türkiye. All statistical analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software package, version 26. A total of 715 patients (mean age 53.1 ± 13 years), of whom 552 (77.2%) were women, were included in this study. The rate of vaccine awareness education in the whole patient group was 40.1%. The vaccination rates for influenza, pneumococcal, HAV, and HBV were 34.3%, 21.8%, 12.3%, and 28.5%, respectively. It was noteworthy that the level of vaccine awareness education was a positive predictive factor affecting vaccination in all vaccine types (p < 0.001, for all vaccine types). The rates of low income were higher in the vaccinated group for pneumococcal (p < 0.001) and haemophilus influenza (p = 0.011) vaccine than in the unvaccinated group. The participants with living in a rural area were significantly higher in the unvaccinated group for HAV and HBV vaccine than in the vaccinated group (p < 0.001). The frequency of less than two medical visits per year was significantly higher in the unvaccinated group for pneumococcal (p < 0.014) and haemophilus influenza (p < 0.001) and HBV vaccine (p = 0.009) than in the vaccinated group. multivariate analysis found that rural area (for Haemophilus influenza and HAV vaccines) and financial income (Pneumococcal vaccine) in specifically were associated with increased vaccination rates (p < 0.001). Additionally, the rate of vaccination education was significantly higher in the vaccinated group for all vaccine types, which is noteworthy as a result of the positive effect of education on vaccination (p < 0.001). Vaccination awareness education and rates are low in primary prevention for RA patients. Vaccination awareness training is important in increasing the level of vaccine rates. © The Author(s) 2025.
