This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common preventable sexually transmitted infection (STI) and leads to approximately 31, 500 cases of anogenital and oropharyngeal cancers annually in the U.S (Deshmukh et al., 2018). Despite its proven safety and efficacy, HPV immunization rates in the U.S. are low, especially for women ages 18 to 26. Thus, an evidence based practice (EBP) change project was implemented to affect vaccination rates. The EBP project utilized an educational bundle intervention that included HPV/HPV vaccine, provider prompts, and provider recommendation/communication educational sessions. Results demonstrated HPV vaccine rates improved from 20% to 80%. There was also a 70% increase in the use of provider prompts. Thus, implementation of an educational bundle was effective in improving HPV vaccine rates, clinical staff HPV knowledge, provider prompts, and provider recommendation/communication. Key words: HPV, HPV vaccine, HPV vaccination rates, HPV knowledge, HPV educational " -- Abstract

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States, causing multiple forms of cancer and genital warts. Although the HPV vaccine has been determined to be safe, immunization rates are low. The purpose of this project was to evaluate provider perception of patient barriers about the HPV vaccine. Through education and system changes provider and patient barriers were addressed. Increasing HPV immunization awareness included provider education and utilizing electronic health record (EHR) alerts. Patients were educated through posters placed in each room and with follow-up reminder calls. Provider knowledge and perception about the HPV vaccine was assessed through pre- and postsurveys. The survey consisted of 7 multiple choice questions and four open-ended questions. The EHR provided HPV series completion data. Thirteen providers completed both the pre- and postsurvey. The post-survey showed improvement in provider knowledge about the HPV vaccine and 62% of the providers reported they were more likely to strongly recommend the HPV vaccine and look for other opportunities to vaccinate outside of the well check visit. Overall, HPV immunization completion rates increased from 13.6% to 18.6%. HPV immunization completion rates continue to be low in Utah, educating providers on how to address barriers about the HPV vaccine could improve immunization uptake and decrease cancers caused by HPV. The interventions used in this quality improvement project can also be applied to improving other immunization rates, decreasing preventable diseases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Low HPV vaccination rates in adolescents are a significant problem locally in Utah. The outcome of missed HPV vaccination can lead to poor health outcomes including HPV-related precancers, HPV-related cancers, genital warts, and increased spread of the virus. A possible solution to the low HPV vaccination rates is nurse/provider education on evidence-based strategies to improve HPV vaccination receipt and the standardization of an educational patient handout on HPV. Improving HPV vaccination among children will lead to the prevention of thousands of cancers each year in Utah and the United States. Evidence-Based Framework: To increase HPV vaccination rates in adolescents aged 9 to 18 years old, a quality improvement project was conducted at two Salt Lake County Public Health Vaccination Clinics. This included an educational in-service for staff and an HPV educational handout tool for patient education. The Clinical Scholar Model and Pender's Health Promotion Theory were used as the evidence-based practice model and theory to develop and guide this project. Method: Approval from the health department management and Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions' IRB was obtained. Interventions were implemented at two public health clinics to improve provider practice strategies for HPV vaccination delivery. Specifically, the intervention included two components: (1) implementation of a staff educational in-service on the HPV vaccine and how to provide a strong HPV vaccination recommendation; (2) standardization of an HPV educational handout given to eligible adolescent patients and parents. The goal of the project was to increase HPV immunization rates in patients aged 9 to 18 years old and improve vaccination nurse knowledge and confidence surrounding HPV vaccination. Pre- and post-intervention HPV vaccination rates were compared to evaluate the project. Nurse knowledge and confidence were assessed with pre- and post-surveys. Data were collected using a retrospective chart review and a self-made pre/post-collection tool. Pre- and Post-intervention rates of HPV immunizations were compared to evaluate the project. Findings: The implementation of staff education and a standardized patient educational handout was associated with a significant increase in immunization rates of 2.7% pre-intervention to 27.2% post-intervention. Nurse knowledge and confidence on HPV vaccination also improved. Conclusion/Recommendations: The implementation of the educational interventions HPV adolescent vaccination rates, nurse HPV knowledge, and nurse confidence. Therefore, the results of this quality improvement project indicate a provider educational in-service on HPV and the implementation of an HPV educational handout can produce favorable outcomes in a public health vaccination clinic setting. Areas for future study include additional vaccination settings and varied age ranges.

Download or read book Two Shots to Cancer Prevention written by Julie Dang and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current HPV vaccine uptake rate is not on track to achieve the Healthy People 2020 goal of 80%, nor attain the desired reduction in HPV-related cancer burden that could be achieved through optimal uptake. Increasing the HPV vaccination rates to 80% could prevent an additional 53,000 future cervical cancer cases in the U.S among girls who are 12 years or younger over the course of their lifetime as well as many additional cases of other cancers, precancers, and genital warts in both sexes. Understanding the current HPV vaccination trends, determining predictors of vaccination, and identifying the characteristics of primary care visits that are missed opportunities for HPV vaccination allows for the development of more effective strategies that can accelerate HPV vaccine uptake. My dissertation, comprised of three papers, examines the multiple levels of influence associated with uptake of the HPV vaccine among preadolescents ages 11-12 at the provider, patient/parent, and visit levels. The findings will help elucidate salient factors that influence the provider’s decision to recommend the HPV vaccine to their patients, the parent’s decision to accept and follow through with that recommendation, the processes of care that are required to ensure that recommendation is carried out, and the relationships among these various factors. The first and second paper utilizes electronic medical records and administrative data to identify: 1) patient and provider factors associated with HPV vaccine uptake and 2) patient, provider and visit factors associated with missed clinical opportunities to recommend and administer the HPV vaccine. The third paper explores the clinic, primary care team and parent level factors that affect uptake of the HPV vaccine through semi-structured key-informant interviews. The primary conclusions from this research highlight the importance of developing and implementing multi-level interventions that engage parents, all clinic staff (e.g. providers and support staff) and health care systems. Education, training and communication for HPV vaccines should focus on emphasizing the importance of timely vaccinations, bundling the HPV vaccines with other vaccines due at the same time, and ensuring that all clinic staff provide a strong and consistent HPV vaccination recommendation.
Download or read book Meta Ethnography written by George W. Noblit and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1988-02 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can ethnographic studies be generalized, in contrast to concentrating on the individual case? Noblit and Hare propose a new method for synthesizing from qualitative studies: meta-ethnography. After citing the criteria to be used in comparing qualitative research projects, the authors define the ways these can then be aggregated to create more cogent syntheses of research. Using examples from numerous studies ranging from ethnographic work in educational settings to the Mead-Freeman controversy over Samoan youth, Meta-Ethnography offers useful procedural advice from both comparative and cumulative analyses of qualitative data. This provocative volume will be read with interest by researchers and students in qualitative research methods, ethnography, education, sociology, and anthropology. "After defining metaphor and synthesis, these authors provide a step-by-step program that will allow the researcher to show similarity (reciprocal translation), difference (refutation), or similarity at a higher level (lines or argument synthesis) among sample studies....Contain(s) valuable strategies at a seldom-used level of analysis." --Contemporary Sociology "The authors made an important contribution by reframing how we think of ethnography comparison in a way that is compatible with the new developments in interpretive ethnography. Meta-Ethnography is well worth consulting for the problem definition it offers." --The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease "This book had to be written and I am pleased it was. Someone needed to break the ice and offer a strategy for summarizing multiple ethnographic studies. Noblit and Hare have done a commendable job of giving the research community one approach for doing so. Further, no one else can now venture into this area of synthesizing qualitative studies without making references to and positioning themselves vis-a-vis this volume." -Educational Studies
Download or read book Improving Rates of HPV Vaccination in the Pediatric Primary Care Setting written by Angelica Hernandez and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine has been approved and recommended by the FDA and other vaccine experts for over a decade, the national uptake rate of the HPV vaccine has remained below the Healthy People 2020 goal of 80% (OFPHP, 2018). In 2016, the clinic0́9s completion rate for the HPV series was only 27.7% among 11- to 13-year-olds, which was not only below national targets, but also below the organization0́9s completion rate goal of 30.4%. In 2017, the clinic implemented the HPV Vaccination Improvement Project and was able to increase their completion rates up to 31.1%, which surpassed the previous year0́9s organizational goal. This change project aims to increase the rates of HPV vaccine uptake in the pediatric primary care clinic through patient outreach and reminder telephone calls and mailed letters. The project is planned to start July 9, 2018 and go until July 30, 2018. We will measure a combination of process, outcome and balancing measures, including/recall HPV initiation and completion rates, number of HPV vaccines given and appointments scheduled. Additionally, we will track 0́−used opportunities to vaccinate0́+, missed opportunities to vaccinate and simultaneous vaccines given. As a result of the outreach calls, we were able to reach an improvement of about 2%, which was less than our goal of 5-10% improvement. However, if all patients scheduled as a result of the outreach calls received an HPV vaccine, that would translate to an improvement rate of 7% which would meet our goal.

Download or read book Comprehensive Cervical Cancer Control written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2006 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most women who die from cervical cancer, particularly in developing countries, are in the prime of their life. They may be raising children, caring for their family, and contributing to the social and economic life of their town or village. Their death is both a personal tragedy, and a sad and unnecessary loss to their family and their community. Unnecessary, because there is compelling evidence, as this Guide makes clear, that cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer, as long as it is detected early and managed effectively. Unfortunately, the majority of women in developing countries still do not have access to cervical cancer prevention programmes. The consequence is that, often, cervical cancer is not detected until it is too late to be cured. An urgent effort is required if this situation is to be corrected. This Guide is intended to help those responsible for providing services aimed at reducing the burden posed by cervical cancer for women, communities and health systems. It focuses on the knowledge and skills needed by health care providers, at different levels of care.
Download or read book Vaccine Science and Immunization Guideline written by Pamela G. Rockwell, DO and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive resource on vaccines and immunizations for primary care physicians, advanced practice providers, and trainees. We are now seeing a rise in measles and the potential for rises in other previously rare infectious diseases, significantly due to public and physician misconceptions and misinformation about vaccines. The text addresses this issue by consolidating historical and current advances in vaccine science from how vaccines are developed to CDC recommendations on how and when to administer them. Expert authors also address barriers to improving vaccination rates in the U.S. and offer evidence-based recommendations on overcoming those barriers. This is an essential guide for primary care physicians, family physicians, pediatricians, internists, residents, medical students, mid-level providers, and learners for understanding vaccines and improving preventative care for their patients.

Download or read book Increasing Human Papillomavirus HPV Vaccination Adherence in Adolescents written by Jody A Brown and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most commonly sexually transmitted infections affecting both men and woman. The HPV infection is etiologically linked to cancers of the cervix, anus, oropharynx, penis, vagina, and vulva (Thomas, Strickland, Diclemente, & Higgins, 2013). In 2006, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) first approved the HPV vaccination for girls and then in 2009 approved the vaccination for boys (Center for Disease Control [CDC], 2014). Despite existing evidence supporting the benefits and lack of evidence for significant adverse reactions of the HPV vaccine, the vaccination rates in the United States are still low (Cassidy, Braxter, Charron-Prochownik, & Schlenk, 2014). An evidence-based practice (EBP) change project was conducted at a rural primary care clinic to increase HPV vaccination rates through the implementation of an education program and reminder system. Parents agreeing to participate in the EBP project were provided information on the HPV virus and vaccine through an animated video and factsheet. A reminder system to include a letter send to parents of all eligible adolescents and an automated magnet and/or text message was incorporated to remind parents to return to the clinic for subsequent injections in order to clinic all three injections. A questionnaire was disseminated to measure parental knowledge and a tracking log was maintained to measure HPV vaccination rates. Four outcomes were analyzed; increase parental knowledge on HPV virus and vaccine, HPV initial rates, HPV completion rates, and overall HPV vaccination rates. Project findings revealed a 12% increase in group mean score on parental knowledge when compared to the pre-test, percentage change for initiation rates was 800%, completion rates was 153% and overall HPV vaccinations administered was 428% when compared to the same months the previous year. The intervention aimed to deliver best-practice recommendations to increase HPV vaccination among the adolescent population. " -- Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “HPV and Cancer” is a concise read that covers all aspects of the Human Papilloma Virus as it relates to human cancers. While written by professionals, it design to be understandable by those that are not in the field, yet it has the technical details that professionals want to stay abreast of this changing field. The book starts out the history of HPV and progresses into the molecular biology of the virus and our current understand of the structure and functions of the proteins and genes it encodes. We then look at the dynamic trends of this infectious agent in the human population, how it interacts with human cells, and the role it plays with other organisms to produce both benign and malignant tumors. Lastly, there is a discussion about a new vaccine for HPV and the hopes that are held by many to change the trends with this virus and the associated cancers it produces.
