Using the Theory of Planned Behavior to Predict Mothers’ Intentions to Vaccinate Their Daughters Against HPV1

/in /by

Read the following article from Chapter 3, Pg 45, and Answer the related questions:

The makers of HPV vaccine target mothers of girls ages 9 to 14 in their ads. Brainstorm the attitudes/beliefs, and subjective norms you think might influence mothers’ decisions about vaccinating their daughters against this STI. Now, read the following article and answer the questions at the end.

Chapter 3 Article: Using the Theory of Planned Behavior to Predict Mothers’ Intentions to Vaccinate Their Daughters Against HPV1

Askelson, Natoshia M; Campo, Shelly; Lowe, John B; Smith, Sandi; Dennis, Leslie K et al.

Abstract (summary)

This study assessed mothers’ intentions to vaccinate their daughters against human papillomavirus (HPV) using the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Experience with sexually transmitted infections (STIs), beliefs about the vaccine encouraging sexual activity, and perception of daughters’ risk for HPV were also examined for a relationship with intention. A random sample of mothers in a rural, Midwestern state were mailed a survey with questions pertaining to the intention to vaccinate. Attitudes were the strongest predictor of mothers’ intentions to vaccinate, but intentions were not high. Subjective norms also influence intention. Mothers’ risk perceptions, experience with STIs, and beliefs about the vaccine encouraging sexual activity were not related to intention. Mothers’ perceptions of the daughters’ risks for HPV were surprisingly low. This research provides a foundation for designing interventions to increase HPV vaccination rates. Further research should explore ways to influence mothers’ attitudes and to uncover the referent groups mothers refer to for vaccination behavior.

In 6-12 sentences, answer the following questions. Cite examples from the article to support your responses.

a. Discuss how the Theory of Planned Behavior was used to Predict Mothers’ Intentions to Vaccinate Their Daughters Against HPV

b. Which constructs had the greatest impact on the mothers’ intention to vaccinate their daughters?

ASSESSING A HEALTHCARE PROGRAM/POLICY EVALUATION

Program/policy evaluation is a valuable tool that can help strengthen the quality of programs/policies and improve outcomes for the populations they serve. Program/policy evaluation answers basic questions about program/policy effectiveness. It involves collecting and analyzing information about program/policy activities, characteristics, and outcomes. This information can be used to ultimately improve program services or policy initiatives.

Nurses can play a very important role assessing program/policy evaluation for the same reasons that they can be so important to program/policy design. Nurses bring expertise and patient advocacy that can add significant insight and impact. In this Assignment, you will practice applying this expertise and insight by selecting an existing healthcare program or policy evaluation and reflecting on the criteria used to measure the effectiveness of the program/policy.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Healthcare Program/Policy Evaluation Analysis Template provided in the Resources.
  • Select an existing healthcare program or policy evaluation or choose one of interest to you.
  • Review community, state, or federal policy evaluation and reflect on the criteria used to measure the effectiveness of the program or policy described.

The Assignment: (2–3 pages)

Based on the program or policy evaluation you selected, complete the Healthcare Program/Policy Evaluation Analysis Template. Be sure to address the following:

  • Describe the healthcare program or policy outcomes.
  • How was the success of the program or policy measured?
  • How many people were reached by the program or policy selected?
  • How much of an impact was realized with the program or policy selected?
  • At what point in program implementation was the program or policy evaluation conducted?
  • What data was used to conduct the program or policy evaluation?
  • What specific information on unintended consequences was identified?
  • What stakeholders were identified in the evaluation of the program or policy? Who would benefit most from the results and reporting of the program or policy evaluation? Be specific and provide examples.
  • Did the program or policy meet the original intent and objectives? Why or why not?
  • Would you recommend implementing this program or policy in your place of work? Why or why not?
  • Identify at least two ways that you, as a nurse advocate, could become involved in evaluating a program or policy after 1 year of implementation.

WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENT ASSESSMENT

I recently conducted a Work Environment Assessment to evaluate workplace civility in the acute psychiatric inpatient unit. The results of the assessment painted a mixed picture. On the positive side, most staff members consistently exhibited professionalism and respect in their interactions with colleagues and patients. Team collaboration during shift handoffs and interdisciplinary meetings was generally effective and respectful.

.However, the assessment also revealed challenges. There were instances of incivility during high-stress situations, such as patient crises or when dealing with challenging patients. Communication breakdowns occurred when staff members were overwhelmed, leading to frustration and occasional conflicts. Some employees expressed concerns about a lack of adequate resources, contributing to heightened tensions ((Abt et al.,2021)

.Overall, the workplace in the psychiatric inpatient unit could be characterized as moderately civil. While there were numerous examples of professionalism and respect, the high-stress nature of the environment occasionally led to lapses in civility. In my personal experience, I encountered incivility during a team debriefing following a challenging patient case. The charge nurse became frustrated with a staff member she believed had not followed protocol during the crisis, leading to a heated argument in front of the team.

This situation needed urgent action to stop any further deterioration. The parties could speak freely and with less hostility because of this one-to-one discussion. The clinical supervisor subsequently mediated the process, delving into the underlying issues to devise an alternative means of communication between the two parties. The latter included conflict resolution/communication training that was introduced in advance. An acute psychiatric inpatient unit is a high-stress healthcare setting where it is essential to deal with incivility simultaneously to maintain a therapeutic and civil working environment (Mabona et al.,2022).
