“…For patients and the public, our study is also relevant. Nursing staff are at the front line of safeguarding public health and are a reliable source of vaccine-related information ( 59 ), and many studies have demonstrated that pediatric nurses, obstetric and gynecological nurses, and community nurses play an important role in promoting vaccination and reducing vaccine hesitancy in different populations ( 17 , 18 , 60 ). Although not all nurses are directly responsible for vaccines, nurses spend far more time with patients than other medical personnel ( 17 ).…”

“…Although the reasons for vaccine hesitancy differ by country and population, healthcare workers play a critical role in restoring public trust in vaccines ( 15 ) and are frequently viewed as the group with the most influence over people's vaccination ( 16 ). Nurses are not only responsible for vaccination but also spend a significant amount of time providing vaccine knowledge and health education to patients ( 17 ), and they play a critical role in promoting vaccination and reducing vaccine hesitancy in all populations ( 16 – 18 ). Nurses have the most direct contact with patients of any healthcare workers, and they are typically more directly confronted with the public's vaccine apprehension.…”

ObjectivesThis study aims to clarify the profiles of the psychological antecedents of vaccine hesitancy among Shanghai nurses with a person-centered approach.MethodsA population-based cross-sectional online survey was conducted on Shanghai nurses from July to August 2021 (N = 1,928). In the online survey, participants were asked to report their sociodemographic, the 5C vaccine hesitancy components, their knowledge level of COVID-19 vaccine and vaccination, and the COVID-19 vaccination uptake intention and attention to vaccine news. Latent profile analysis was used to reveal distinct profiles of vaccine hesitancy.ResultsThe results revealed four profiles, including “believers” (68.9%; high confidence and collective responsibility), “free riders” (12.7%; similar characteristics to believers, except for a low collective responsibility), “middlemen” (14.6%; middle in all 5C constructs), and “contradictors” (3.7%; high in all 5C constructs). Compared to believers, middlemen were younger, more likely to be female, childless, less educated, held lower professional titles, had fewer years of nursing service, sometimes or never complied with recommended vaccinations, had satisfactory or poor self-assessed health status, had no work experience during the COVID-19 epidemic, and possessed greater levels of knowledge. Free riders were more likely to work in community health centers and have a lower degree than believers. Contradictors were more likely to work in community health centers, had junior college degrees or lower, and had no work experience during the COVID-19 epidemic than believers. From the highest to the lowest on vaccination intention and attention to vaccine news were believers, then free riders, contradictors, and finally middlemen.ConclusionThis study could aid in the development of personalized vaccination strategies based on nurses' vaccine hesitancy profiles and predictors. In addition to vaccine believers, we identified other three profiles based on their 5C psychological antecedents, emphasizing the significance of establishing tailored vaccination campaigns. Further research into the prevalence of profile structure in other groups of healthcare workers is required.

“…The findings showed that 73% of respondents had received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, whereas only 4% reported plans to decline vaccination. This may be potentially attributed to pediatric APRNs expertise and active advocacy in vaccination efforts, an underused strength that could be harnessed in helping to educate and reassure fears expressed by the U.S. public ( Williams, 2019 ).…”

The purpose of this study was to describe the holistic impacts of COVID-19 on pediatric advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs). Method: AA convenience sample of APRNs affiliated with the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners participated in this cross-sectional descriptive study. An investigator-developed survey explored multifocal, holistic impacts of COVID-19. Results: A total of 886 participants were provided the survey, with 796 (90%) completing the entire survey. Respondents indicated adverse impacts across personal, clinical, educational, and research foci. Among the most alarming findings, 34% indicated moderate or extreme concern for feeling professionally burned out, 25% feeling nervous or anxious, and 15% feeling depressed or hopeless. Discussion: The pediatricAPRN workforce pipeline is at significant risk for provider burnout and compromised mental health. Acknowledgment of pandemic-related trauma on families, children and APRNs is essential. Sustained intentional efforts to cultivate holistic wellness are critically emergent.

“…Education surrounding recommended post‐transplant vaccinations is a core component of the post HSCT education period and the therapeutic relationships built between patients, families and APNs allows for the delivery of evidenced based information through their trusted team. This allows clinicians to guide patients and families to make an informed decision to improve vaccination rates 40 …”

“…This allows clinicians to guide patients and families to make an informed decision to improve vaccination rates. 40 When patients are deemed medically fit to proceed with the standardized post-transplant vaccination schedule, adherence to these guidelines is imperative to improve patient outcomes. The APN group play a key role in the immunization space, taking pride in their meticulous attention and adhere to established clinical guidelines.…”

BackgroundProlonged periods of immunosuppression during hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) can result in serious infectious complications and contribute to transplant‐related morbidity and mortality. Adherence to standardized pre and postinfection screening guidelines, prescribed medications, and early identification of infectious symptoms through comprehensive patient and family education are crucial to minimizing infectious complications. Advanced practice nurses (APNs) are key members of the multidisciplinary care team in the HSCT specialty, maintaining a specialized skillset and scope of practice which includes a holistic based, preventative medicine and risk mitigation approach.MethodsThis review sought to describe the role of the APN in HSCT care and to further examine existing APN led models of care which focus on infection prevention and education throughout the HSCT treatment journey.ResultsNo studies specifically examined the APN role in infectious diseases risk assessment, screening, and management throughout the HSCT journey were identified throughout our review, however, there was considerable evidence to demonstrate the benefits of APN led care in the oncology and solid organ transplantation specialty which led to improvements in continuity of care, overall patient outcomes, and multidisciplinary team collaboration.The key themes identified in our review, were the role of the APN in the delivery of comprehensive patient and family education, the role of the APN in supporting, mentoring, and educating junior medical and nursing teams, the collaboration between the APN and the multidisciplinary care team, and the role of the APN in prompt recognition, triage, and management of treatment related complications, such as infection.
