台灣護理與COVID-19疫苗接種程序概要

Abstract

本篇文章主要是探討面對COVID19，相關的護理安全管理所面臨的挑戰以及訂定疫苗接種步驟準則的適切性。文中提到，當目前國內缺乏COVID19疫苗接種標準程序時，護理人員必須具備「高階護理能力」。研究方法採實地訪查與個別性討論：由衛生所參與Covid-19疫苗分發作業的六名專業註冊護理師(RN)和兩名護理長(HN)進行「護理人員在施打疫苗步驟上如何能更安全進行」這項議題的討論。歸納出以下二點：一、民眾和護理師之間良善的互動和溝通，可有效反應出疫苗真正需求的數量，能夠幫助未來建立分配疫苗的適切模式。在護理環境快速變動的當下，不斷求新更知亦是護理人員的職責所在。二、在幫助民眾施打疫苗時，在疫苗分配與控管過程中採取的預防性安全措施，能夠使疫苗管理更有效率，進而增強民眾與護理人員之間的信任關係。  Background and Purpose: The purpose of this report is to discuss the challenges and procedures for the safety management and vaccination protocol for nurses in rela-tion to COVID-19. The lack of which dictates that nurses must possess advanced nursing skills, especially in the field of vaccination protocol. Methods: Six professional registered nurses (RN) and two leader nurses in the community health center were engaged in individual interviews regarding the Covid-19 vaccine distribution, and the related safety practice issues between July 2021 to December 2021. Results: A crucial factor between a client and a nurse’s interaction and communication is related to the lucid understanding of vaccine determinants in the distribution of the vaccine using a proper framework. Nurses also require updated information for their duties in these truly unpredictable times. Conclusion: Precautional safety taken within the allocation and control of vaccines for public use will give credence to correct vaccine management procedures that can augment a more effective relationship and better communication between nurses and the public.
