Evaluation of digital vaccine card in nursing practice in vaccination room

Objective: develop and evaluate a vaccine application for mobile devices, with update integrated with the National Immunization Program Information System, for care in vaccination rooms. Method: methodological research based on the Pressman System Development Life Cycle theory developed in three stages: integrative literature review, computational development, and application evaluation. The product was evaluated as to satisfaction, using a validated questionnaire, and as to usability by the System Usability Scale. Results: the application functionalities were based on the survey of technological Innovations on immunization, published in the scientific literature. It displays user vaccines directly from the National Immunization Program Information System, notifies about upcoming vaccines, and enables the inclusion of vaccine cards of dependents. The evaluation resulted in users’ mean score of 90.5 ± 11.1 and health professionals’ mean score of 84.2 ± 19.4. Conclusion: the application is a technological tool with potential to improve the work process in vaccination rooms and to reach the goals of vaccine coverage. It synchronizes data with the National Immunization Program Information System, thus enabling the maintenance of people’s vaccination history.

ABSTRACT Objective: To carry out the National Immunization Program Information System (SIPNI) accessability assessment (EA), considering the description of the intervention, the elaboration of the theoretical-logical model and the identification of the evaluative questions. Method: A single case study with a qualitative approach, based on the system of seven elements proposed by Thurston and Ramaliu (2005). The SIPNI and the context of analysis, the vaccination rooms, were defined as the case. Results: The SIPNI description, based on documents and scientific evidence, made it possible to understand its operationalization, the main events that characterize it. The theoretical-logical model visually and systematically configured the SIPNI organization with details of the inputs, activities, products and expected effects. The evaluative questions were evaluated and validated to evaluate the SIPNI. Final considerations: The SIPNI is evaluable and presented a favorable scenario for its development. EA is an important strategy for planning subsequent evaluations, maximizing their potentials.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze structural and process conditions in National Immunization Program Information System establishment. Methods: a cross-sectional study conducted in 307 vaccination rooms in the state of Minas Gerais in 2017. For data collection, a multidimensional questionnaire was used. Descriptive data analysis was performed. Results: vaccination rooms have basic inputs necessary for System establishment. The greatest problems relate to professional practice. Low enrollment of population, failures in the active search for absentees, vaccine scheduling and absence of reports to monitor vaccination coverage were identified. Training was considered insufficient and ineffective. Conclusions: Immunization Information System is an essential technological innovation for the management of immunization actions. However, the production of timely records and the use of information are still challenges. Investments in training are required to ensure System’s management and operationalization activities.

Brazil has the National Immunization Program for disease prevention that offers nineteen vaccines, yet it is known that vaccination coverage according to age is not always reached. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the vaccination coverage in the municipality of Sinop, in the Mato Grosso state and in the Brazil for meningococcal C conjugate vaccines and Hepatitis B in the period from 2015 to 2019. Method: This is a descriptive, retrospective and cross-sectional study, with data available in the Information System of the National Immunization Program. Results: Vaccination coverage for mingococcal C in children under one year in Sinop was above the target in 2015 and 2018, Mato Grosso was above only in 2015, for the booster dose only Sinop was above the target in 2016. Coverage for hepatitis B in children under 30 days of life demonstrated that Sinop had coverage above the state of Mato Grosso, which in turn was above Brazil. For children under 1 year old, only in 2016 and 2019 the state presented greater vaccination coverage at the expense of Sinop and Brazil. Conclusion: The results demonstrate that there is hesitation on the part of the population regarding vaccination, being greater in vaccines such as meningococcal C. Strengthening childcare is the key to improving the panorama of vaccine coverage.

Objective: to analyze the acceptance and use of the Information System of the National Immunization Program in primary health care vaccination rooms. Method: a unique case study of a qualitative approach in the light of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology. Data collection included an interview with 18 professionals responsible for the implementation of the information system, observation of vaccination rooms in 12 municipalities of the West Macro-region of Minas Gerais, selected from a preliminary study. Data was systematized and analyzed through Content Analysis. Results: the interviewees are satisfied with the usefulness and ease of the system usage, but do not have the same satisfaction with the organizational infrastructure due to the lack of computers and low Internet connectivity in the health units, as well as with the incipient training for the use of the information system and the lack of skills with the technology among the human resources. Conclusion: nursing professionals perceive advantages in the acceptance and use of the Information System of the National Immunization Program. It was clear that the vaccinated individual’s history control and the decrease of records in paper are evidenced as facilitators of this acceptance. The system was considered reliable and secure.

Introduction: Meningitis is a disease with an important history of epidemics during the 20th century. In Brazil, the National Immunization Program (PNI) reduced the general incidence rate of meningitis. However, meningococcal, bacterial,viral and unspecified meningitis are still a challenge in controlling the disease. Objective: Describe data related to vaccination coverage of meningitis, number of deaths and reported cases, between 2009 and 2019, by brazilian region. Design and Setting: Observational study of time series. Methodology: Used secondary data published in DATASUS for the period 2009-2019.The following data were used:Mortality considers deaths from meningitis and meningococcal infection, according to CID- BR-10. Cases were considered by the year of the first symptom and vaccines were evaluated:Meningococcus A/C(MnAC),Meningococcus B/C(MnBC), Meningococcal Conjugate-C (MncC),Meningococcal ACYW1325, Meningococcal B.Proportions were calculated to analyze the trend. Results: 204,211 notifications and 14,562 deaths between 2009 and 2019 were analyzed.The reported cases and deaths from meningitis were decreased by 29% and 34%,respectively.Northeast and Southeast regions stood out with the largest proportional reductions in deaths, with 45% and 37% respectively.For notifications,the Northeast had 54% and the Midwest had a 41% reduction. For Vaccination, all regions had an increase in the period described, with emphasis on the North with an increase of 18,006%,and the Northeast with 30,839%.In addition,the South region increased its applied doses by 499%,with a 4% reduction in deaths,and 10% in notifications. Conclusion:Despite it’s limitations, the analysis suggests the expansion of vaccine coverage contributes positively to the incidence and deaths from meningitis in the Brazilian population.
