Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Vaccinology
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • The 13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV13) is crucial for preventing pneumococcal disease.
  • Understanding healthcare workers' (HCWs) recommendation behaviors for PCV13 is vital for improving vaccination rates.
  • Chinese healthcare workers, including pediatric and primary care providers, were surveyed on PCV13 recommendations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine PCV13 recommendation behaviors among Chinese HCWs.
  • To identify factors influencing PCV13 recommendations by pediatric care providers (Peds-PCPs) and primary care providers (PCPs).

Main Methods:

  • A national cross-sectional survey was conducted from May to July 2023.
  • Structured questionnaires collected data from 3579 HCWs (1775 Peds-PCPs, 1804 PCPs).
  • Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, and multivariate logistic regression.

Main Results:

  • PCPs were more likely to recommend PCV13 than Peds-PCPs, who showed vaccine hesitancy.
  • Factors positively influencing HCWs' PCV13 recommendations included higher influenza vaccination intention, salary, consultation frequency, immunization familiarity, work ethic, and flexible schedules.
  • Specific factors for Peds-PCPs included vaccine training, safety recognition, concern over rejection, and vaccine cost.
  • For PCPs, influencing factors were perceived child susceptibility to pneumonia, herd immunity acceptance, and belief in parental acceptance based on socioeconomic status.

Conclusions:

  • Tailored interventions are needed to address differing perceptions and enhance vaccine confidence among HCWs.
  • Specific strategies should target Peds-PCPs to overcome hesitancy and improve PCV13 recommendations.
  • Enhancing HCWs' confidence in vaccine safety and efficacy is crucial for public health.

Primary Healthcare Services

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.

Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development01:30

Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development

Social-emotional experiences and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping gender development. During middle childhood, from ages 6 to 11, peer groups become dominant in reinforcing gender norms. Children in this age group often align with same-gender peer groups, which actively encourage behaviors that conform to traditional gender roles. For instance, boys may be discouraged from engaging in activities perceived as feminine, reinforcing culturally dictated norms about masculinity...

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Parenting Styles01:27

Parenting Styles

Diana Baumrind's four parenting styles — authoritarian, authoritative, neglectful, and permissive — each influence children's socio-emotional development differently.
Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.

Conduct Disorder01:28

Conduct Disorder

Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

Standard Precaution

Standard precautions are the minimum infection control safeguards used while caring for all patients, irrespective of their disease condition. They help prevent the spread of common infectious microorganisms to healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in all healthcare settings.
Hand hygiene is the most crucial means to prevent the transmission of disease. Employers are legally required to provide their workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure or contact with...
