How do parents make decisions about whether or not they will vaccinate their children? A team of pharmacists is researching the answer to that question.<\/p>\n

Researching the way in which patients make decisions is just one way that Cedarville is bringing positive, disruptive change to American healthcare. Motivational interviewing is yielding fresh insight.<\/p>\n

Examining How Parents Make Decision About Vaccines<\/h2>\n

Last year, Dr. Justin Cole<\/a>, Vice Chair of Pharmacy Practice in the Cedarville University Doctor of Pharmacy<\/a> program, and Dr. Aleda Chen<\/a>, Assistant Dean of Pharmacy Practice, had a short conversation about how parents make decisions regarding vaccines for their children. That conversation prompted research into published studies on the topic, and they found a gap in the research.<\/p>\n

Researching the way in which patients make decisions is just one way that Cedarville is bringing positive, disruptive change to American healthcare.<\/div>\n

Cole and Chen, along with professional pharmacy students, are now in the midst of a grant-funded research study on how motivational interviewing may influence parental decision-making in this critical area of healthcare. They are examining how parents of children 6 years old and younger make decisions about vaccines, with the goal of creating a tool to help them make the best choice via motivational interviewing.<\/p>\n

Understanding Parents’ Reasoning and Thinking Styles<\/h2>\n

Motivational interviewing is a collaborative conversation between healthcare providers and their patient. Patients are encouraged to do most of the talking so healthcare providers can understand their reasoning and thinking styles, not just their decision-making. This approach could be a tool for healthcare providers of all types to speak with families with whom they\u2019ve built relationships.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important for the\u00a0Cedarville University School of Pharmacy<\/a>\u00a0to engage in these kinds of studies because we value innovation in teaching, service, and scholarship,\u201d said Cole. \u201cWe hope to answer healthcare questions and solve complex healthcare problems in novel ways. We have a sincere desire to serve others with excellence, and part of that is improving healthcare. These studies also give students in our pharmacy program a unique opportunity to participate in research and author scientific papers before they graduate.\u201d<\/p>\n
