Abstract

Despite the availability of school-based immunization programs (SBIPs) in Canada, human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine uptake remains suboptimal. Vaccine education may improve vaccine uptake among adolescents. The objective of this qualitative study was to identify opportunities for HPV vaccine education in British Columbia, Canada, by exploring the perspectives of students, parents, school staff, and public health nurses on the current SBIP. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with adult participants and focus groups were conducted with grade 6 students between November 2019 and May 2020. The interviews and focus groups were transcribed and then analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Opportunities for HPV vaccine education were identified in three themes: 1) making SBIPs student-centered; 2) adopting a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach to vaccine education; and 3) actualizing parent education opportunities. Broad support existed for a formal, collaborative HPV grade 6 vaccine curriculum delivered by teachers and public health nurses to provide evidence-based health information. Participants voiced that the curriculum should integrate students' perspectives on topics of interest and address needle associated pain and anxiety. Parents were identified as the primary vaccine decisionmakers, therefore, participants stated it was crucial to also provide parent-directed vaccine education as part of SBIP. Our findings support the development of a collaborative HPV vaccine curriculum directed to and informed by students and parents to buttress current SBIPs in British Columbia.

加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省校本免疫计划中的 HPV 疫苗教育机会:定性研究。
尽管加拿大开展了校本免疫计划 (SBIP),但人类乳头瘤病毒 (HPV) 疫苗的接种率仍然不尽如人意。疫苗教育可提高青少年的疫苗接种率。本定性研究的目的是通过探讨学生、家长、学校教职员工和公共卫生护士对当前 SBIP 的看法,确定在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省开展 HPV 疫苗教育的机会。在 2019 年 11 月至 2020 年 5 月期间,对成人参与者进行了个人半结构化访谈,对六年级学生进行了焦点小组讨论。访谈和焦点小组均已誊写,然后使用反思性主题分析法进行了分析。在三个主题中确定了 HPV 疫苗教育的机会:1)使 SBIPs 以学生为中心;2)采用跨学科的合作方式开展疫苗教育;3)实现家长教育机会。与会者广泛支持由教师和公共卫生护士共同开设正式的六年级 HPV 疫苗课程,以提供循证健康信息。参与者表示,课程应结合学生对感兴趣话题的看法,并解决打针带来的疼痛和焦虑。家长被认为是疫苗接种的主要决策者,因此,参与者表示,作为 SBIP 的一部分,提供由家长指导的疫苗教育也是至关重要的。我们的研究结果支持开发针对学生和家长并由学生和家长提供信息的 HPV 疫苗合作课程,以支持不列颠哥伦比亚省目前的 SBIP。

期刊介绍: (formerly Human Vaccines; issn 1554-8619) Vaccine research and development is extending its reach beyond the prevention of bacterial or viral diseases. There are experimental vaccines for immunotherapeutic purposes and for applications outside of infectious diseases, in diverse fields such as cancer, autoimmunity, allergy, Alzheimer’s and addiction. Many of these vaccines and immunotherapeutics should become available in the next two decades, with consequent benefit for human health. Continued advancement in this field will benefit from a forum that can (A) help to promote interest by keeping investigators updated, and (B) enable an exchange of ideas regarding the latest progress in the many topics pertaining to vaccines and immunotherapeutics. Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics provides such a forum. It is published monthly in a format that is accessible to a wide international audience in the academic, industrial and public sectors.
