研究组 & 干预措施
Trusted Messenger
The trusted messenger patient intervention will involve training a small number of staff "trusted messengers" to engage patients informally and assist with building vaccine confidence in brief one- on-one sessions, supported by trusted messengers weekly consultations with a content expert who can answer specific vaccine related questions that patients have over a 3-week period. Trusted messengers will be full time unit employees, selected with the assistance of the nursing supervisor for having excellent rapport with patients (assessed with the Nurse Coordinator Questionnaire) and for having been vaccinated. Mental health workers or nurses may serve in this role. Both inpatient units involved in this study will be grouped into the same vaccination cohort within the hospital, to provide patients in the intervention and the wait list similar opportunities to be vaccinated.
干预措施: Trusted Messenger (Behavioral)
Standard Care
After a 3-week study period, up to 24 patients on the second unit will receive the trusted messenger intervention and followed for a period of 3 weeks. The trusted messenger intervention will consist of staff who are trained to engage patients informally and assist building social norms for vaccine uptake supported by weekly and as-needed check-ins with a content expert who can answer specific vaccine related questions over a 3 week period.
