School Nurses’ Professional Practice in the HPV Vaccine Decision-Making Process

Abstract: Because U.S. human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates remain low, we evaluated school nurses' knowledge, attitudes, perceptions of their role as opinion leaders, self-efficacy, intention, and professional practice regarding the HPV vaccine and determined if these variables influenced their professional practice concerning the HPV vaccine. We utilized a cross-sectional design by recruiting Ohio Association of School Nurses (OASN) members. Participants (n = 145) completed a paper survey during the OASN annua… Show more

“…Several quantitative studies found that knowledge was associated with recommendation intention and behavior. [23][24][25][26] Qualitative studies further supported the hypothesis that knowledge informed provider communication, with incomplete knowledge of HPV-attributable cancers in males identified as a key barrier to HPV vaccine recommendations for boys. 27,28 However, other studies found no association between providers' knowledge and their HPV vaccine recommendations.…”

“…27,32,36,38,44,45 In terms of providers' perceptions of themselves, self-efficacy to communicate about HPV vaccine was associated with recommending and intending to recommend the vaccine. 12,26,46 Interestingly, providers who viewed themselves as "early adopters" were also more likely to recommend HPV vaccine. 30,45,47 Studies assessing the relationship between provider characteristics and HPV vaccine recommendations most often focused on clinical specialty and demographics.…”

“…This is concerning given that clinician attitudes are an important predictor of vaccine recommendations. Clinicians have reported concerns regarding HPV vaccine safety [ 68 - 70 ], a lack of self-confidence in providing strong vaccine recommendations [ 15 , 27 , 28 ], and belief that it is not important for adolescents to receive the HPV vaccine at the recommended age of 11 to 12 years [ 71 ]. Therefore, interventions should be designed with the goal of changing clinician attitudes and vaccine recommendations, and evaluation of these outcomes is a key component of successful interventions [ 45 , 52 ].…”

“…School nurses are integral to such programs, where qualitative research by Boyce and Holmes demonstrated that they have the potential to promote vaccination of medically underserved children ( 12 ). In particular, school nurses often serve as opinion leaders in middle schools – where the target population for HPV vaccination is found – and can intervene with targeted education, follow-up, and tool kits to promote vaccination among students and parents ( 13 , 14 ).…”
