Aims and objectives:To explore the determinants of and behaviour change models for seasonal influenza vaccination compliance among healthcare personnel.Background: COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among healthcare personnel may be better understood by exploring determinants of seasonal influenza vaccine hesitancy. Design: Integrative literature review.Methods: A systematic search was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines.Six thousand and forty-eight articles were screened. Seventy-eight met inclusion criteria. Due to the heterogeneity of included articles, a narrative synthesis was conducted utilising a conceptual matrix to identify thematic categories.Results: Six thematic categories were identified as influencing HCP SIV compliance: 'perceived vulnerability', 'trust', 'past behaviour', 'professional duty', 'access and convenience' and 'knowledge and experience'. The Health Belief Model (HBM) was the most commonly utilised health behaviour change model within the seasonal influenza vaccination context. Few studies have examined seasonal influenza vaccine acceptance and uptake within the Australian HCP context, particularly involving community care and aged care. Conclusions: Factors that appear to relate to influenza vaccination compliance amongHCP can be grouped according to several thematic categories, and they also appear influential in COVID-19 vaccine uptake. In particular, an emerging focus on 'trust' or the more emotive considerations of decision-making around health-protective behaviours requires further exploration in the context of a pandemic. Efforts to influence these domains to increase compliance, however, are likely to be impeded by a lack of a well-developed and tested behaviour change model.Relevance to clinical practice: Healthcare personnel (HCP) face high levels of occupational exposure to seasonal influenza every year. An emerging focus on 'trust' and the more emotive considerations of decision-making around health-protective behaviours requires further exploration in the context of a pandemic.

These are now housed together with many UNESCO consultants' country reports on libraries, reading, archives, documentation and related services throughout the world. Seven papers touching on aspects of academic librarianship, delivered at the 1992 IFLA Conference held in New Delhi, have been received by the IFLA Clearing House in Australia. They are available in photocopy form at the prices noted below, but single orders are normally provided free of charge. Two of the papers come from India, and one each from Australia, Canada, Finland, Saudi Arabia, and Zimbabwe. KA Isaac (now retired) notes that there are 189 universities and 7121 colleges in his paper University Libraries in India. There is no rational funding policy, and this has affected library development. He suggests that a centralised integrated library system is needed, and briefly gives detail of the overall picture under subheadings such as 'Budget', and 'Book Stock'. Other sec~ions include discussions on departmental libraries and college libraries. In an interesting paper Continuing Education Programmes for Teachers in Library and Inforrnation Science, and Academic Library Professionals in South India, Professor A A N Raju (of Osmania) notes the Indian government's National Policy on Education and the UGC's scheme for refresher courses. Osmania University has been conducting courses under the latter scheme for some years, and some 200 academic librarians (and lecturers) have taken part. Frylinck, Lion and Katris (of Curtin University in Perth) present their report Ask the Same Question and Get a Different Answer-A Case Study in Library Opening Hours Surveys. The users surveyed were students and staff, and the tools were questionnaires and interviews. Extended hours were requested, but for photocopying and reference rather than for CD-ROM usage. Part-time and external students are more likely than full-time to say that they would welcome extended hours for information seeing and return of materials. In The Changing Role of the University Library-Crafting a More Effective Role for the Library, Groen (of McGill) suggests that library staff can become more effective by a better understanding of its institutional environment as a basis for planning. The focus is on North American models, but the topic is one of wider application. She points out that planning is natural, is a process, must be in context, and is important. Human resources are the most important asset. Cooperation between university libraries is the subject of Kytomaki's paper The Finnish Universities' Research Database Project. This project is under the aegis of the Ministry of Education, and was set up to collect information on research in all universities to help avoid undesirable overlap of planning. At present, each university maintai...
