  3. Introduction People in the United States continue to contract diseases that are vaccine preventable, infectious disease remains a major cause of illness, disease and even death (Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), 2011). Although there have been great strides made in immunization compliance, there is still a great need to improve the follow through of the immunization schedule to ensure the health of our nation’s children. “Despite progress, approximately 42,000 adults and 300 children in the United States die each year from vaccine-preventable diseases” (DHHS).

  4. Problem Statement Risk of communicable vaccine preventable diseases among adolescents in Kent County related to non-compliance and knowledge deficits according to the recommended CDC immunization schedule as evidenced by comparison of Kent County and national statistics.

  5. Causative Factors • Lack of health insurance • Knowledge deficits • Parental resistance to vaccinations • Under vaccination

  6. Community Assessment • There are about six million new cases of genital HPV in the United States each year (CDC MMWR, 2011). • HPV prevalence was 24.5% among females 14-19 (CDC MMWR, 2011). • Adolescent girls receiving all three doses of the HPV vaccine was 32% (CDC MMWR, 2011).

  7. Community Assessment cont’d • In Kent County pertussis has gone from 1.4 per 100,000 cases to 3.5 per 100,000 cases in the years 2000-2004 (KCHD, 2005). • Pertussis is the only vaccine-preventable disease on the rise in the United States, with increasing incidents in adolescents and adults related to weaning immunity (Brooks & Clover, 2006, p. 604).

  8. Community Assessment cont’d • In Michigan, this increase was first observed in 2008, with 315 cases of pertussis that was reported. The rise is continuing and in 2009, there were 902 reported cases and in 2010, there were 1564 cases of pertussis reported (Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH), 2011).

  9. Community Assessment cont’d • “As reported in the 2003 to 2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, at least one in four adolescents had as least one of the most common STIs – namely, genital wart-associated human papillomavirus (HPV) (18.3%)” (Harkness & DeMarco, 2012, p. 442).

  10. “Pertussis is the only vaccine-preventable disease on the rise in the US and it is severely underreported. CDC estimates that, at best, one-third of cases are believed to be reported to the CDC; other estimates place the reported cases at 1 in 10 to 1 in 20 of the true incidence” (Brooks & Clover, 2006, p. 604).

  12. Community Nursing Interventions • Examples of primary prevention of communicable disease among adolescents include: • Immunization • Health education • Sanitation (hand washing, safe food, safe water) • Regular exams • Legislation

  13. Community Nursing Intervention • Obtain current immunization records. • Education to the adolescent population on immunization requirements including boosters. • Education to the parent of the adolescent population. • Information regarding access to immunization clinics and applications for free immunizations.

  14. The school nurse provides a critical link between the child the family and the education and healthcare systems. One of the screening requirements of a school nurse is immunization review” (Harkness & DeMarco, 2012, p.453).

  15. Roles of School Nurse • Direct care to students • Leadership for health services • Screening and referral for health conditions • Assessment of acute illness • Promotes a healthy school environment • Health promotion • Leadership role in health policies and programs • Liaison between personnel, family, healthcare professional and the community • Education • Hygiene • Immunizations • Safety • Signs of communicable disease

  16. Education: • Education to adolescent can be provided in a number of ways including: • Informational handouts • Internet • Television • Educational sessions

  17. Educational Session • Educational sessions will be geared toward middle and high school adolescents • The facility used will be large, such as a school gym or auditorium. • These sessions can be during school hours to ensure a large audience attendance.

  18. Education: • Education to the parent has proven to be beneficial: • According to one study, parents that received a vaccine information pamphlet (VIP) were twice as likely to want to obtain immunizations for their children. (Clayton & Miller, 1994, p.370)

  19. Access to Community Resources in Kent County, MI

  20. Evaluations • The evaluation of the community nurse’s educational session aimed at high school adolescents will be best obtained through the use of a survey.

  21. Evaluations • The questionnaire may also include questions on attitudes, on values that may underlie attitudes on the issue, message statements pro and con, demographic and lifestyle questions, and questions on policies and behavior. (Belden, et al., 2004)

  22. Evaluations Surveys are a valuable tool. The results of surveys can provide the information needed to show the effectiveness of the nursing intervention: • Has the audience digested the information? • Has it influenced their thoughts on the issue of vaccination? • Was it a positive or negative response from the surveyed individuals, and why? • Has the intervention motivated actions? (Belden, et al., 2004)

  23. Conclusion • Immunizations of our youth ensure the prevention of communicable disease. With the recent statistics we fall short of the goals. Education of our adolescents and their parents play a large role in compliance and empowers the adolescent to be responsible for their own health. By providing information and resources for immunization we are closing the gap on non-compliance.

  24. Conclusion • Immunization will always be an ongoing process as there are new citizens born every minute. Breaking the barriers and empowering people with knowledge is the goal of the community health nurse. Nursing can evaluate the educational process by using a survey as a tool to analyze the feedback to ensure success.
