  For this discussion board, I chose to appraise the role and responsibilities of the nurse and members of an interdisciplinary team across multiple healthcare settings in recognition, assessment, and interventions for the management of acute and chronic diseases. The role of the nurse is vital to patient care of acute and chronic diseases in many different ways. The nurse's role in all patient care is to educate the patient, advocate for adequate and ethical care, and be a middleman between the patient and the rest of the patient's care team. The nurses are the ones at the bedside assessing the patient and getting to know them. They then take this vital information to the other members of the care team like case management, specialists, or surgeons to provide adequate and holistic care. Without this information from the bedside, the patient wouldn't be able to be taken care of. The other members are vital to the patient's care by providing specific services that the nurse cannot like surgical intervention or certain medication. This class has shown me through each week's case study how important the interdisciplinary team is to the patient's holistic care of acute and chronic conditions. Going further in my practice I will make it a point to advocate for consulting the appropriate teams for adequate and quality care.

Using the Theory of Planned Behavior to Predict Mothers’ Intentions to Vaccinate Their Daughters Against HPV1

/in /by

Read the following article from Chapter 3, Pg 45, and Answer the related questions:

The makers of HPV vaccine target mothers of girls ages 9 to 14 in their ads. Brainstorm the attitudes/beliefs, and subjective norms you think might influence mothers’ decisions about vaccinating their daughters against this STI. Now, read the following article and answer the questions at the end.

Chapter 3 Article: Using the Theory of Planned Behavior to Predict Mothers’ Intentions to Vaccinate Their Daughters Against HPV1

Askelson, Natoshia M; Campo, Shelly; Lowe, John B; Smith, Sandi; Dennis, Leslie K et al.

Abstract (summary)

This study assessed mothers’ intentions to vaccinate their daughters against human papillomavirus (HPV) using the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Experience with sexually transmitted infections (STIs), beliefs about the vaccine encouraging sexual activity, and perception of daughters’ risk for HPV were also examined for a relationship with intention. A random sample of mothers in a rural, Midwestern state were mailed a survey with questions pertaining to the intention to vaccinate. Attitudes were the strongest predictor of mothers’ intentions to vaccinate, but intentions were not high. Subjective norms also influence intention. Mothers’ risk perceptions, experience with STIs, and beliefs about the vaccine encouraging sexual activity were not related to intention. Mothers’ perceptions of the daughters’ risks for HPV were surprisingly low. This research provides a foundation for designing interventions to increase HPV vaccination rates. Further research should explore ways to influence mothers’ attitudes and to uncover the referent groups mothers refer to for vaccination behavior.

In 6-12 sentences, answer the following questions. Cite examples from the article to support your responses.

a. Discuss how the Theory of Planned Behavior was used to Predict Mothers’ Intentions to Vaccinate Their Daughters Against HPV

b. Which constructs had the greatest impact on the mothers’ intention to vaccinate their daughters?

Askelson, N.M., Campo, S., Lowe, J.B., Smith, S., Dennis, L.K., & Andsager, J. (2010). Using the theory of planned behavior to predict mothers’ intention to vaccinate their daughters against HPV. The Journal of School Nursing, 26(3), 194- 202.
