Abstract
Although spiritual health is a core dimension of health and wellness, particularly for Latinos, it receives limited attention in health promotion interventions. Examen Tu Salud is a brief intervention for young Latinas in the USA and is designed using culturally tailored spiritual messaging and education provided through daily multimedia messages and weekly remote peer coaching rooted in Ignatian values and pedagogy. Results from this single group intervention study showed that after four weeks, participants reported large increases in spiritual health (Cohen d = 0.82), well-being (Cohen d = 0.91), and happiness (Cohen d = 0.84), and moderate reductions in stress (Cohen d = 0.41) and anxiety (Cohen d = 0.49). These findings further develop the spiritual health intervention literature and establish a baseline for future brief digital health interventions to support Latinas and other groups using culturally tailored spiritual health messaging.
虽然精神健康是健康和保健的一个核心方面，特别是对拉丁美洲人来说，但在促进健康的干预措施中，它受到的关注有限。Examen Tu Salud是一项针对美国拉丁裔年轻人的简短干预活动，其设计采用了文化定制的精神信息和教育，通过每日多媒体信息和每周远程同伴指导提供，植根于伊格纳蒂的价值观和教学法。这项单组干预研究的结果显示，四周后，参与者报告精神健康（Cohen d = 0.82）、幸福感（Cohen d = 0.91）和幸福感（Cohen d = 0.84）大幅提高，压力（Cohen d = 0.41）和焦虑（Cohen d = 0.49）有所缓解。这些发现进一步发展了精神健康干预文献，并为未来的简短数字健康干预建立了基线，以支持拉丁裔和其他群体使用符合文化的精神健康信息。
