Abstract

Recognizing the intersection of cultural competency and social determinants of health is a pivotal aspect of enhancing health outcomes. In this retrospective cohort study, we sought to assess the influence of a 2-year leadership program on participants’ knowledge and self-confidence in utilizing social risk-targeted care to advocate for individual health and well-being. From 2018 to 2022, 318 health profession students completed the comprehensive 2-year program, and completed the program evaluation, which gauged the program’s impact on their knowledge and confidence to utilize social risk advocacy for those they serve. The data analysis revealed a statistically significant positive change between the pre-test and post-test phases regarding students’ self-reported comprehension of how an individual’s culture or background can impact their overall health and healthcare choices. There was a notable improvement in self-efficacy related to catering to the unique needs of individuals in rural and underserved settings as well as an increased intent to practice in underserved communities. The findings underscore the affirmative influence of affording students the opportunity to engage in tailored didactic training and community-based learning designed to cultivate the self-confidence necessary to advocate for health equity within their communities.
将卫生专业学生培养成社会风险倡导者
认识到文化能力与健康的社会决定因素之间的交叉点是提高健康成果的一个关键方面。在这项回顾性队列研究中,我们试图评估为期两年的领导力课程对参与者利用社会风险定向护理倡导个人健康和福祉的知识和自信心的影响。从2018年到2022年,共有318名卫生专业学生完成了为期2年的综合课程,并完成了课程评估,评估了该课程对他们利用社会风险宣传为服务对象提供服务的知识和信心的影响。数据分析显示,在学生自我报告对个人文化或背景如何影响其整体健康和医疗保健选择的理解方面,前测阶段和后测阶段之间出现了统计学意义上的显著积极变化。在满足农村和服务不足地区个人的独特需求方面,学生的自我效能感明显提高,在服务不足社区执业的意愿也有所增强。这些发现强调了为学生提供机会,让他们参与有针对性的教学培训和社区学习,以培养他们在社区内倡导健康公平所需的自信心所产生的积极影响。
