Transmission of influenza among health care workers is a well-documented problem. Influenza vaccination is an effective intervention to reduce the influenza burden; however, vaccination rates remain low among health care workers. The challenge for occupational health nurses is how to increase health care workers' vaccination rates. This article describes the key components of a successful influenza program at a large integrated health care system. A multidisciplinary team developed and implemented an evidence-based, leadership-modeled program that led to improvement in health care workers' vaccination rates from 66% to 77% in year one and from 77% to 84% in year two.
医护人员之间流感的传播是一个有充分文献记载的问题。流感疫苗接种是减轻流感负担的有效干预措施;然而,医护人员的疫苗接种率仍然很低。职业健康护士面临的挑战是如何提高医护人员的疫苗接种率。本文介绍了一个大型综合医疗系统中成功的流感防治项目的关键组成部分。一个多学科团队制定并实施了一个以证据为基础、以领导力为典范的项目,该项目使医护人员的疫苗接种率在第一年从66%提高到77%,在第二年从77%提高到84%。
