Understanding perspectives among young adults regarding immunization in the Chinook Health region of southern AlbertaMeyer, Cathy J., University of Lethbridge. Faculty of Arts and Science January 2002 (has links)
This thesis was designed to explore and describe the beliefs and behaviours of young adults (parents or future parents) in relation to immunization. Data were collected via in-depth interviews with 36 young adults (current university students) that resulted in more than 600 pages of documnetation for detailed analysis. Nursing and non-nursing student informants were compared under the categories of young adults who delay or refuse immunizations due to alternative health practices, vaccine concerns or religion. What emerged from the study was that young adults displayed lack of knowledge and disinterest about the immune system, immunizations and communicable diseases. This display of apathy towards disease prevention could subsequently contribute to a decrease in the population's herd immunity in the next generation. A review of more than 300 published journal articles and books was completed and integrated into a mosaic of Canadian immunization practice. Policy recommendations based on these findings are presented. / x, 223 leaves : ill. ; 28 cm.

Factors influencing parental compliance with the preschool children’s immunization scheduleSymonds, Barbara Dianne January 1979 (has links)
The control of communicable diseases in children is an important public health role. With the availability of effective vaccines, the conquest of many childhood diseases is possible. However, the success of the present immunization programs rests ultimately with the parents, who are responsible for ensuring that their children's immunization status is complete. Many factors can influence this parental compliance.
The parents of kindergarten students in two suburban communities completed a questionnaire on immunizations and family characteristics. The questionnaire was constructed using items submitted from a panel of public health nurses and from the literature. A pretest was conducted.. The total' number of questionnaires returned by the deadline was 376. Data on preschool children's immunization status were also collected from health unit records.
Analyses of the data included frequency distributions, contingency table analyses, factor analysis, and discriminant analysis. The major findings of the study were:
1. There was a difference between preschool children's recorded immunization status according to health unit statistics and the national standard.
2. There was a discrepancy between preschool children's immunization status as reported by parents and as recorded in health unit statistics.
There was not a significant relationship between parental education level, family mobility, family socio-economic level, family composition, or parental knowledge of immunizations and preschool children's reported immunization status.
4. There was a significant relationship between a positive parental attitude toward immunization and completed preschool children's reported immunization status.
5. There was a significant relationship amongst the variables. High family mobility, a low educational level for the father, an incomplete parental immunization status, and a feeling of lack of knowledge about immunizations were discriminatory for a reported incomplete immunization status. As well mobility, education-income, family composition and attitude best accounted for the relationship amongst the variables on factor analysis
Implications for nursing practise are discussed and recommendations for further research are suggested. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Nursing, School of / Graduate
