Abstract

Research, to date, suggests the need for healthcare professionals to adapt their communication style to the needs and characteristics of parents when discussing childhood vaccination. Motivational interviewing (MI) has been recognized as an important communication style, based on a patient-centred model of care, leading to the responsibility and motivation to change in cases of vaccine hesitancy. The current study intended to assess the attainment of MI competencies by healthcare professionals in Portugal who may interact with vaccine-hesitant parents. The pre- and post-training survey results showed a significant increase in the participants' scores in all three pre-defined dimensions: acquisition of knowledge, perception of skills application, and sense of confidence. Our results suggest that integrating MI training into healthcare professionals' curriculum appears to be a promising avenue to pursue to foster their immunization-related communication skills in Portugal and elsewhere.

动机性访谈解决疫苗犹豫:来自葡萄牙干预的见解。
迄今为止的研究表明,在讨论儿童疫苗接种时,卫生保健专业人员需要调整他们的沟通方式,以适应父母的需求和特点。动机性访谈(MI)已被认为是一种重要的沟通方式,以病人为中心的护理模式为基础,在疫苗犹豫的情况下产生改变的责任和动机。目前的研究旨在评估葡萄牙可能与疫苗犹豫的父母互动的医疗保健专业人员的MI能力的实现。培训前和培训后的调查结果显示,参与者在预先定义的三个维度上的得分都有显著的提高:知识的获取、技能应用的感知和自信感。我们的研究结果表明,在葡萄牙和其他地方,将MI培训纳入医疗保健专业人员的课程似乎是一种有希望的途径,可以促进他们的免疫相关沟通技巧。
