“…Many works highlighted the most effective interventions to increase vaccination rates were those directly targeted at the population who should get vaccinated 22 and those consisting of multiple strategies. 17 , 18 This review showed most intervention categories had mixed findings, showing both significant and non-significant results, especially if more outcomes were measured within one domain. No categories showed completely non-significant results across all outcomes, but very few had consistently significant positive results.…”

Background Vaccine hesitancy is relevant for healthcare professionals (HCPs) who face challenges in building trusting relationships with patients. Accordingly, the VAX-TRUST project has been developed to improve experiences of HCPs and patients dealing with vaccinations. To support VAX-TRUST, this work aimed to identify latest interventions targeted at HCPs to address hesitancy and increase vaccine uptake. Methods A systematic review was conducted according to PRISMA by searching PubMed, Scopus and Embase. The protocol was registered on PROSPERO. Articles were eligible if evaluated interventions directly targeted at HCPs/healthcare students. The search was run on 26 January 2022. Articles published in 2016 or after were included. Results A total of 17 492 records were identified; 139 articles were selected. Most articles were set in USA (n = 110). Over half had a pre–post design without a control group (n = 78). A total of 41 articles focused on single-component interventions, 60 on multi-component interventions involving only HCPs and/or students and 38 on multi-component interventions involving also other professionals. Main components were in-person education (n = 76), synchronous (n = 10) and asynchronous (n = 23) online learning, educational materials (n = 26), performance assessment and feedback (n = 33), electronic record changes (n = 30), role play/simulation (n = 21) and online games/apps (n = 5). Educational sessions were mainly about scientific update or communication. Outcomes of interventions were grouped in: vaccination rates (n = 69), knowledge (n = 32), attitudes (n = 26), confidence in counselling (n = 30) and acceptability (n = 16). Conclusions Apps, gaming, role play/simulations could represent innovative interventions. This review highlighted the need of delving into communication strategies and using more robust evaluations, longer follow-up and standardized measurements.

“…More than one approach is likely necessary to dramatically increase rates, as is needed for childhood and adolescent vaccines. 66 One example of combining multiple interventions is the AFIX-OB intervention. 67 This program was modeled after the CDCs AFIX QI program.…”
