Abstract:
An integrative literature review was conducted for studies published between January 2005 and January 2016 to obtain evidence on parents' experiences and perceptions of vaccinations. Considering the mandatory nature of vaccinations in many countries and the influences of parental experiences on the outcome of vaccinations, it is essential to understand the experiences and needs of parents regarding their children's vaccinations. CINAHL, PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus and ScienceDirect were searched for data. In this review, 20 studies (10 quantitative and 10 qualitative) that related to parental perceptions regarding their child's vaccination were included. The parents had varied views on vaccination and they had many vaccination-related concerns and difficulties. Different factors influenced their vaccination decisions and they had varied support needs. This review found that exploring parental perceptions regarding their child's vaccination in terms of the attitudes and experiences of parents, how these affect vaccination decisions as well as the needs of parents regarding their children's vaccinations is important in multicultural societies.
