Instructions

Vaccine-Preventable Diseases

Influenza is a virus that can be easily spread from person to person and kills thousands of people each year. Healthcare workers are at risk of exposing themselves to infectious diseases from patients and material and therefore can also potentially transmit these diseases to others. Preventing and controlling the spread of vaccine preventable diseases in the health care setting is vital to ensure proper infection control practices should an outbreak occur. As such, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) strongly recommend vaccination of health care workers.

You are a public health researcher. You have been asked to identify a vaccine-preventable disease and create a 10- to 12-slide presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint on a research design. Your research design should focus on determining why health care workers are not receiving the vaccination for your selected vaccine-preventable disease in their place of employment.

The presentation should also include the following:

  • Researched and identified the disease to create a research plan
  • An introduction and synopsis of the selected disease
  • History of the public health issue or disease
  • Social or behavioral antecedents related to the disease
  • Epidemiological relevance of the disease
  • Proposed research design
  • Sampling plan
  • Strengths and weaknesses of chosen research design

AFAF IBRAHIM MELEIS: TRANSITIONS THEORY

Sue Kim, 49 years of age, emigrated from South Korea to the United States 6 years ago. Her family came to the US to educate their children and moved in with family members in Los Angeles.
Sue and her husband graduated from a top-ranked university in South Korea, and her husband also had a master’s degree in business. However, their English skills were not adequate for them to get jobs in the United States. Instead, they opened a Korean grocery store with the money they brought from South Korea, and they managed to settle down in Los Angeles, where a number of Koreans are living.
They have two children: Mina, a 25-year-old daughter who is now the manager of a local shop, and Yujun, a 21-year-old son who is a college student. Both children were born in South Korea and moved to United States with Sue. The children had a hard time, especially Mina, who came to the United States in her senior year of high school. However, the children finally adapted to their new environment. Now, Mina is living alone in one-bedroom apartment near downtown, and Yujun is living in a university dormitory.
The Kim’s are a religious family and attend their community’s protestant church regularly. They are involved in many church activities. Sue and her husband have been too busy to have regular annual checkups for the past 6 years.
About 1 year ago, Sue began to have serious indigestion, nausea, vomiting, and upper abdominal pain; she took some over-the-counter medicine and tried to tolerate the pain. Last month, her symptoms became more serious; she visited a local clinic and was referred to a larger hospital. Recently, she was diagnosed with stomach cancer after a series of diagnostics tests and had surgery; she is now is undergoing chemotherapy.
You are the nurse who is taking care of Sue during this hospitalization. Sue is very polite and modest whenever you approach her. Sue is very quiet and never complains about any symptoms or pain. However, on several occasions, you think that Sue is in serious pain, when considering her facial expressions and sweating forehead. You think that Sue’s English skills may not allow her to adequately communicate with health care providers. Also, you find that Sue does not have many visitors -only her husband and two children.
You frequently find Sue praying while listening to some previous songs. You also find her sobbing silently. About 2 weeks are left until Sue finishes chemotherapy. You think that you should do something for Sue so she will not suffer through pain and symptoms that could be easily controlled with existing pain-management strategies. Now, you begin some preliminary planning.

QUESTIONS:
1. Consider the patterns of response that Sue is showing. What are the indicators of healthy transition(s)? What are the indicators of unhealthy transition(s)?
2. Reflect on how Transitions Theory helped your assessment and nursing care for Sue.
3. If you were Sue’s nurse, what would be your first action/interaction with her? Describe a plan of nursing care for Sue.

Peter was born after an uneventful pregnancy and weighed 3.1kg. At 3 months, he developed otitis media and an upper respiratory tract infection. At the ages of 5 months and 11 months, he was admitted to hospital with Haemophilus influenzae pneumonia. The infections responded promptly to the appropriate antibiotics on each occasion. When 16 months old, he developed balanitis. He is the fourth child of unrelated parents: his three sisters show no predisposition to infection.

Examination at the age of 18 months showed a pale, thin child whose height and weight were below the third centile. There were no other abnormal features. He had been fully immunized as an infant (at 2, 3 and 4 months) with tetanus and diphtheria toxoids, whole-cell pertussis, Haemophilus conjugate vaccine and oral polio. In addition he had received measles, mumps and rubella vaccine at 12 months. All immunizations were uneventful.

Immunological investigations (Table C3.1) into the cause of his recurrent infections showed severe panhypogammaglobulinemia with absent antibody production. Although there was no family history of hypogammaglobulinemia, the absence of mature B lymphocytes in his peripheral blood strongly supported a diagnosis of ________________________________?????. His antibody deficiency was treated by 2-weekly intravenous infusions of human normal IgG in a dose of 400mg/kg body weight/month. Over the following 2 years, his health steadily improved: his weight and height are now on the 10th centile, and he has had only one episode of otitis media in the last 18 months.
