Summary
School nurses play a key role in promoting human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination for cancer prevention. Understanding their experiences can help reduce vaccine disparities and improve HPV vaccine uptake.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Nursing Research
- Vaccinology
Background:
- Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is crucial for cancer prevention, yet disparities in uptake exist.
- School nurses are vital in promoting HPV vaccination, but their experiences are not well understood.
- This study examines school nurses' knowledge, attitudes, experiences, and roles in HPV vaccine promotion within school settings.
Approach:
- A systematic literature search was performed to identify studies on school nurses and HPV vaccination.
- Thematic synthesis was employed, utilizing the socioecological model to analyze findings.
- The LEADS model was developed based on synthesized themes to inform practice.
Key Points:
- School nurses generally possess good knowledge and positive attitudes towards HPV vaccination.
- Challenges include complex workflow processes, competing demands, and communication barriers.
- Multilevel factors significantly influence school nurses' vaccine promotion practices.
Conclusions:
- Addressing identified challenges can optimize school nurses' role in HPV vaccine promotion.
- Supporting school nurses is essential for achieving the goal of eliminating cervical cancer.
- Understanding and improving the school nurse experience can help reduce HPV vaccine disparities.

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
