Effectiveness of an Intervention on Vaccine Hesitancy Among Pediatric Nurses and Pediatricians

Intervention mapping principles guided a multidisciplinary team through the development of the intervention. The intervention is a 12-hour training program focused on improving vaccination promotion and vaccine hesitancy management during pediatric consultations. The program comprises 10 hours of online education and 2 hours of in-person activities. Online training materials (short video lectures, video case studies, and readings) were structured in three learning modules covering vaccine and vaccine hesitancy technical information, vaccination promotion communication strategies, and practice organizational resources. In-person activities involved role-playings and group discussions. Intervention content is evidence-based. As a participation incentive, pediatric nurses and pediatricians who complete all program activities, including a multiple-choice final test, will receive 2,5 accredited continuing medical education credits.
