Abstract

Gardening for Health Utilizing Traditions (GHUTS) is a new diabetes prevention intervention for urban American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) adults receiving mental health treatment in Los Angeles County. The two main objectives of this study are to: 1) further our understanding of diabetes prevention and the role of gardening for urban AI/AN adults receiving mental health treatment and 2) finalize the development of GHUTS. To inform the feasibility of the intervention and to gain perspective, three focus groups were conducted among urban AI/AN adults receiving mental health treatment (n = 7), providers who serve urban AI/AN people (n = 7), and the GHUTS Community Advisory Board (n = 5). Three overarching conceptual themes emerged: 1) Diabetes is an important issue among urban AI/AN people receiving mental health treatment, 2) AI/AN traditional practices have an important role in diabetes prevention among urban AI/AN adults receiving mental health treatment, and 3) Gardening is beneficial for AI/AN people. Feedback on the GHUTS curriculum featured diabetes education, cultural elements, concerns specific to AI/AN people in Los Angeles County, cooking, physical exercise and diet, prayer and mindfulness, community sharing, and field trips. This study highlights the process of developing a community-grounded diabetes prevention intervention for urban AI/AN adults receiving mental health treatment.

利用园艺对接受心理健康治疗的美国印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民成人糖尿病预防干预的发展：焦点小组研究

园艺健康利用传统（GHUTS）是一项新的糖尿病预防干预措施，在洛杉矶县接受心理健康治疗的城市美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民（AI/AN）成年人。本研究的两个主要目的是：1)进一步了解糖尿病预防和园艺对接受心理健康治疗的城市AI/AN成年人的作用；2)最终确定GHUTS的发展。为了了解干预措施的可行性并获得观点，在接受心理健康治疗的城市AI/AN成年人（n = 7）、为城市AI/AN人群提供服务的提供者（n = 7）和GHUTS社区咨询委员会（n = 5）中进行了三个焦点小组研究。出现了三个总体概念主题：1)糖尿病是接受心理健康治疗的城市AI/ an人群中的重要问题，2)AI/ an传统习俗在接受心理健康治疗的城市AI/ an成年人中预防糖尿病的重要作用，3)园艺对AI/ an人群有益。对GHUTS课程的反馈包括糖尿病教育、文化元素、针对洛杉矶县人工智能/人工智能人群的关注、烹饪、体育锻炼和饮食、祈祷和正念、社区分享和实地考察。本研究强调了为接受心理健康治疗的城市AI/AN成人制定基于社区的糖尿病预防干预措施的过程。
