Background:
Knowledge Translation (KT) allows the efficient and dynamic use of scientific evidence in clinical practice.
Objective:
To analyze the impact of a multifaceted KT intervention to train health care professionals in pain management in childhood vaccination.
Methodology:
This quasi-experimental study was conducted between August and December 2017, with nine nursing professionals working in the vaccination rooms of two Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBSs - Basic Health Units) of the Brazilian Federal District. The “Preparation” and “Implementation” phases of the multifaceted KT intervention Evidence-based Practice for Improving Quality (EPIQ) were conducted.
Results:
The EPIQ phases allowed identifying the barriers to and facilitators of vaccination in children, establishing objectives and strategies, and improving health professionals’ knowledge. There was a 13.9% increase in the mean percentage of correct answers in the posttest (p = 0.036), with the topic “Pain management” presenting the highest score of correct answers (92.8%).
Conclusion:
Implementing the multifaceted KT intervention EPIQ improved the knowledge of pain management in childhood vaccination.
