TitleImplementation of patient education intervention and nurse-driven pneumococcal screening protocol to improve vaccination rates among people living with HIV, HCV, and co-infected with HIV and HCV
DescriptionPurpose: Implementation of a nurse-driven pneumococcal protocol and patient pneumococcal education to improve vaccination rates in adult HIV and Hepatitis C patients.
Methodology: Retrospective and prospective chart review with single group pre-posttest design. Retrospective chart review: determines pre-intervention vaccination rate from January 21, 2018 to March 01, 2018. Prospective chart review: evaluates the effectiveness of the nurse-driven screening protocol in improving screening process and vaccination rates. Single group pre-post: measure the changes in the level of knowledge and attitude of the participants (provider) regarding the use of the nurse-driven pneumococcal screening protocol before and after the educational intervention. Single group pre-post was also conducted to measure changes in the participants (patient) knowledge, attitude and intent to vaccinate.
Results: Project was piloted from January 21, 2019 to March 01, 2019. Following data were evaluated: number of vaccination and adherence to implementation of the nurse-driven protocol. There was no significant increase in the vaccination rate. However, there was increase in identifying eligible patients that could potentially increase the vaccination rate. There was also an increase in knowledge, attitude and intent to vaccinate after the patient educational intervention.
Implications: Implementation of the nurse-driven screening protocol together with the patient education could potentially improve vaccination rates.
