🧵 New #Tweetorial from @JHospMedicine: Building Vaccine Confidence Through Empathy & Evidence by Mitchell et al @jesscataldi DOI: 10.1002/jhm.70116 #Vaccine conversations fail when we focus only on data and forget the human behind the question. Let’s break it down. 👇 1/12

Despite mountains of #evidence, vaccine hesitancy persists. Why? Because many patients do not lack information, they lack #trust, connection, and someone who truly listens. 🖼️@iopsychmemes 2/

Traditional vaccine messaging often sounds like this: “Here are the stats.” “Here are the risks.” “Here’s what the science shows.” Accurate? Absolutely. Effective? Not always. 3/

Information overload can sometimes shut conversations down. The article argues for a critical shift: From data-dumping → to empathetic, patient-centered dialogue. This approach respects emotions, fears, and lived experiences, not just clinical facts. 4/

What does empathy look like in these conversations? ✔️Listening without interrupting ✔️Validating concerns (“Many people wonder about that…”) ✔️Avoiding judgmental language ✔️Meeting patients where they are emotionally 5/

And then pair #empathy with evidence. Clear, simple, #honest information: •What the vaccine does •Known risks (in plain language) •Benefits to the patient, family, and community •What we still do not know #Transparency builds trust. 6/

Importantly, the article stresses avoiding myth-busting as a first move. Directly correcting misinformation can backfire and make beliefs even more entrenched. Start with curiosity, not confrontation. 7/

One key strategy: Ask-Ask-Tell. 🗣️Ask what concerns they have 🗣️Ask what they already know 🗣️Tell— briefly and clearly — what the evidence shows This keeps the patient in the center of the discussion. 8/

Why does this work? Because people are more open to new information when they feel: 🧏Heard 🤝Respected 👥Included in the decision-making process 🚪Empathy opens the door for evidence to land. 9/

The ultimate goal is not persuasion. It is #partnership. Patients make better decisions when trusted clinicians create a safe, non-judgmental space for questions, especially about vaccines. 10/

Healthcare professionals can strengthen vaccine confidence by combining: 💛 Empathy 🧠 Evidence 🗣️ Clear communication 👂 Active listening A small shift in approach can have a big impact on public health. 11/ unicef.org/tajikistan/vac…
