Health care provider trust in vaccination: a systematic review and qualitative meta-synthesis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Vaccine hesitancy is a growing issue globally amongst various populations, including health care providers. This study explores the factors that influence vaccine hesitancy amongst nurses and physicians.

Methods

We performed a qualitative meta-synthesis of 22 qualitative and mixed-method studies exploring the factors that may contribute to vaccine hesitancy amongst nurses and physicians. We included all articles that mentioned any aspect of trust concerning vaccination, including how trust may influence or contribute to vaccine hesitancy in nurses and physicians.

Results

Our findings revealed that vaccine hesitancy amongst nurses stemmed predominantly from two factors: distrust in health authorities and their employers, and distrust in vaccine efficacy and safety. Both nurses and physicians had a precarious relationship with health authorities. Nurses felt that their employers and health authorities did not prioritize their health over patients' health, provided inaccurate and inconsistent vaccine information, and were mistrustful of pharmaceutical company motives. Like nurses, physicians were also skeptical of pharmaceutical company motives when it came to vaccination. Additionally, physicians also held doubts regarding vaccine efficacy and safety.

Conclusions

The relationship health care providers or their patients have with health authorities and other providers regarding vaccination serves as unsystematic clinical experiences that may bolster vaccine hesitancy. Providing accurate and tangible information to emphasize the safety and efficacy of vaccines to health care providers may help address their specific concerns that may ultimately increase vaccine uptake.

Project description:BackgroundWhether health care provider burnout contributes to lower quality of patient care is unclear.PurposeTo estimate the overall relationship between burnout and quality of care and to evaluate whether published studies provide exaggerated estimates of this relationship.Data sourcesMEDLINE, PsycINFO, Health and Psychosocial Instruments (EBSCO), Mental Measurements Yearbook (EBSCO), EMBASE (Elsevier), and Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics), with no language restrictions, from inception through 28 May 2019.Study selectionPeer-reviewed publications, in any language, quantifying health care provider burnout in relation to quality of patient care.Data extraction2 reviewers independently selected studies, extracted measures of association of burnout and quality of care, and assessed potential bias by using the Ioannidis (excess significance) and Egger (small-study effect) tests.Data synthesisA total of 11 703 citations were identified, from which 123 publications with 142 study populations encompassing 241 553 health care providers were selected. Quality-of-care outcomes were grouped into 5 categories: best practices (n = 14), communication (n = 5), medical errors (n = 32), patient outcomes (n = 17), and quality and safety (n = 74). Relations between burnout and quality of care were highly heterogeneous (I2 = 93.4% to 98.8%). Of 114 unique burnout-quality combinations, 58 indicated burnout related to poor-quality care, 6 indicated burnout related to high-quality care, and 50 showed no significant effect. Excess significance was apparent (73% of studies observed vs. 62% predicted to have statistically significant results; P = 0.011). This indicator of potential bias was most prominent for the least-rigorous quality measures of best practices and quality and safety.LimitationStudies were primarily observational; neither causality nor directionality could be determined.ConclusionBurnout in health care professionals frequently is associated with poor-quality care in the published literature. The true effect size may be smaller than reported. Future studies should prespecify outcomes to reduce the risk for exaggerated effect size estimates.Primary funding sourceStanford Maternal and Child Health Research Institute.

Project description:BackgroundCompared to the general population, individuals experiencing homelessness are at greater risk of excess morbidity and mortality from COVID-19 but have been vaccinated at lower rates. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)'s Homeless Patient Aligned Care Team (HPACT) program integrates health care and social services for Veterans experiencing homelessness to improve access to and utilization of care.MethodsThis study explores the vaccination uptake behavior and attitudes through a qualitative comparative case study of two HPACT clinics, one in California (CA) and one in North Dakota (ND). Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted with Veterans enrolled in the two VA HPACT clinics from August to December 2021 with 20 Veterans (10 at each clinic).ResultsFour themes emerged from the interviews: (1) Vaccination uptake and timing- While half of the Veterans interviewed were vaccinated, ND Veterans were more likely to be vaccinated and got vaccinated earlier than CA Veterans; (2) Housing- Unsheltered or precariously housed Veterans were less likely to be vaccinated; (3) Health Care- Veterans reporting positive experiences with VA health care and those who trusted health providers were more likely to vaccinate than those with negative or nuanced satisfaction with health care; (4) Refusers' Conspiracy Theories and Objectivity Claims- Veterans refusing the vaccine frequently mentioned belief in conspiracy theories while simultaneously asserting their search for objective information from unbiased sources.ConclusionsThese findings amplify the importance of improving access to population-tailored care for individuals experiencing homelessness by reducing patient loads, expanding housing program enrollment, and increasing the provider workforce to ensure personalized care. Health care providers, and housing providers, social workers, and peers, who offer information without discrediting or criticizing Veterans' beliefs, are also key to effectively delivering vaccine messaging to this population.

Project description:ObjectiveWorkplace violence (WPV) in intensive care units (ICUs) is a prevalent issue that affects staff well-being and patient care. Although individual studies have explored various facets of WPV, there is a need for a comprehensive synthesis to provide a cohesive understanding of the phenomenon and inform effective interventions. This study aimed to understand its impact on the mental health and work status of ICU staff, identify the coping strategies used by ICU staff to manage WPV and explore the support required by healthcare professionals when facing WPV.MethodsA systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Medline, PsycINFO, and Web of Science from the date of inception until June 5, 2024. Only qualitative studies or the qualitative part of mixed methods studies were included in the analysis, with no restrictions on the type of ICU or type or source of violence. This study assessed the risk of bias in the included studies and synthesized the results according to the guidelines of the Joanna Briggs Institute (2024).ResultsSix studies were included. These studies, which were published between 2018 and 2023, were conducted in four countries and involved 91 participants. Six analytical themes and 17 subthemes emerged from the qualitative data. The themes were as follows: Prevalence of ICUs Violence, ICU healthcare perceptions of WPV, The Ripple Effect of WPV in ICU, Practical Strategies for ICU Staff Dealing with WPV, What they need when facing WPV, and Reasons for Not Reporting WPV.ConclusionsThe synthesized findings highlight the pervasive nature of WPV in ICUs and its profound impact on staff members. This review underscores the need for systematic interventions, including comprehensive training, accessible psychological support, and robust reporting mechanisms, to mitigate the effects of WPV.OtherThis study was funded by the Wu Jieping Medical Foundation(320.6750.18526),China. The review protocol was prospectively registered in the Prospective Register of PROSPERO (CRD42024559076).Relevance to clinical practiceThe research findings can provide important evidence for hospital managers and policymakers, helping them develop more effective workplace management policies to enhance the safety and well-being of ICU staff.
