Aims and objectives To critically analyse the literature describing nurses' knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding influenza vaccination. Background Influenza is a serious illness that has significant impacts on productivity, health outcomes and healthcare costs. Despite the recommendations for nurses to be vaccinated annually against influenza, the vaccination rates remain suboptimal. Design Integrative literature review. Methods An integrative review was conducted as described by Whittemore and Knafl (2005). A search of CINAHL, Cochrane Library, ProQuest Central, ClinicalKey, ScienceDirect, Wiley Online Library, and Informit was undertaken to identify relevant papers. Given the heterogeneity of included studies, a narrative approach was used to analyse the data. Results There was limited research available on this topic area, with only 10 papers identified as meeting the inclusion criteria. Five themes were identified: the relationship between knowledge and influenza vaccination, perception of risk, motivators for influenza vaccination, barriers to influenza vaccination and impact of demographics on vaccination. Conclusions Despite the evidence for the protective effects of influenza vaccination, rates of vaccination among nurses remain suboptimal. Nurses' influenza vaccination practices likely relate to their level of knowledge and perception of risk; the greater nurses' knowledge regarding influenza and influenza vaccination the higher their perception of risk and the more likely they are to be vaccinated. This also translates to the advice that they give patients with vaccinated nurses more inclined to recommend vaccination than those unvaccinated. Relevance to clinical practice The practices of nurses related to influenza vaccination may translate to the advice that they give their patients. Understanding the knowledge levels, practices and attitudes of nurses can assist in developing strategies to enhance education of nurses.

“…71 Other similar factors associated with higher uptake include the belief that influenza prevention is important, 59,73 suffering from a chronic condition 60,62 or having a high-risk person in one's household. 60,62 In addition, the strong effect of habit has been found to be somewhat independent of intent, 74 indicating that convincing HCWs might not be enough. In a pilot Dutch study over 1 season, 73 26.1% of HCWs who intended to get vaccinated eventually did not (they represented 5.2% of the total).…”

“…PHNs are involved with varying levels of leadership in campaigns to promote immunization (Johansen, Stenvig, & Wey, 2012), private well water testing (Severtson & Henriques, 2009), and community health promotion (Kulbok, et al, 2012). Future research, particularly using an oversized postcard as a second-touch effort is recommended to answer this question.…”

The purpose of this methods paper is to describe and evaluate outreach and engagement strategies designed to initially build county-wide awareness and support for the National Children’s Study (NCS or the study) and subsequently to target the segment communities where recruitment for the study occurred. Selected principles from community outreach, social marketing, and healthcare system and personal referral formed the foundation for the strategies. The strategies included a celebration event, community advisory board, community needs assessment, building relationships with healthcare providers and systems, eliciting a network of study supporters, newsletters, appearances at local young family-oriented events (health fairs, parades), presentations to local community leaders, community forums, “branding” with assistance from a women-owned local marketing firm, and mailings including an oversized, second-touch postcard. Six months after study launch, approximately 4600 study-eligible women were asked in a door-to-door survey if and how they became aware of the study. On average, 40% of eligible women reported being aware of the study. The most frequently cited strategy to cultivate their awareness was study-specific mailings. Awareness of the NCS increased by 7.5% among those receiving a second-touch postcard relative to controls 95% CIs [4.9, 10.7] z = 5.347, p < 0.0000, d = 0.16. Community outreach and engagement strategies, in particular the oversized postcard as a second-touch effort, may be used effectively by researchers for participant recruitment and by public health nurses for delivery of important population-focused messages.
