Human Papillomavirus Vaccinations: Provider Education to Enhance Vaccine Uptake
No full textHuman papillomavirus (HPV) is the number one sexually transmitted infection (STI) worldwide. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) approximated that 92% of HPV-related cancers might be prevented by receiving the HPV 9-valent vaccine (Gardasil 9). The 2-dose HPV vaccine for children ages 11 to 12 years provides almost 100% protection against strains affiliated with cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancers. Provider education is essential to decrease clinical knowledge deficits and increase vaccination uptake. Evidence-based provider recommendations expressed to eligible individuals improves vaccination rates. Evidence-based approaches for vaccine-hesitant parents involve using the presumptive announcement approach, asking for and addressing main concerns, and trying again if the parent initially declines. Seventy percent of parents who initially decide not to get their child vaccinated later agree to the vaccine or schedule a follow-up appointment. The CDC guidelines for HPV vaccinations, including the catch-up and adult guidelines, are reviewed. A clinical vignette with case scenarios and a Q&A quiz are included

No full textAbout the Author Candice D. Overholser, EdD, RN, is a visiting assistant professor at Brooks College of Health School of Nursing, University of North Florida, Jacksonville, Florida. This article is a component of her doctoral dissertation at the Tanner Health System School of Nursing, University of West Georgia. The author is the recipient of the National League for Nursing/Southern Nursing Research Society Doctoral Research Award in 2020. She acknowledges with thanks her dissertation chair, Dr. Laura Caramanica, and committee members Drs. Susan Welch and Connie Barbour. AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate programs throughout the United States for seamless academic progression from associate degree nursing (ADN) to baccalaureate degree nursing programs (BSN). BACKGROUND: Seamless academic progression has been shown to have a positive effect on increasing the proportion of BSN nurses. Goals to increase the number of BSN-prepared nurses have not been met. METHOD: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted to assess how nurse administrators of ADN programs move toward seamless academic progression for students. RESULTS: Three themes that described the current state of seamless progression emerged from the data: a) ongoing communication between program leaders, students, and stakeholders; b) development of pathways that enable seamless academic progression; and c) stakeholder influence on academic progression. CONCLUSION: Administrators who participated in this study shared that their progression programs were in the early developmental stages
