Abstract

This article explores the impact of digital transformation on sexual and reproductive health promotion from an interdisciplinary perspective, focusing on the implications of rapidly evolving policy landscapes for the Australian health promotion workforce. We draw on 29 key informant interviews and workshops with 18 current sexual and reproductive health professionals (aged 18-29). Both groups were invited to reflect on how digital and data literacies are currently understood and applied within the Australian sexual and reproductive health promotion sector. Interviewees shared concerns related to digital and data literacy, equity, and the challenges of integrating digital technologies into health practice. Findings highlight the need for strategic approaches that shift focus away from individual literacies towards broader organisational capabilities. These capabilities include: an understanding of digital policy and platform governance (e.g. in relation to social media content moderation); an understanding of how health consumers and service users currently utilise digital systems to support sexual health and wellbeing; and an understanding of the ways digital equity and data justice can be undermined or advanced in organisational settings. We conclude with recommendations for enhancing workforce digital and data capabilities and integrating DDoH into health promotion policy and practice to improve health equity. Significantly, we conclude that dedicated resources and training are needed to address the complexities of DDoH in the sexual and reproductive health context.

性健康和生殖健康的数字决定因素——工作人员对数字和数据素养的看法。
本文从跨学科的角度探讨了数字化转型对性健康和生殖健康促进的影响,重点关注快速发展的政策格局对澳大利亚健康促进工作人员的影响。我们利用与18名目前的性健康和生殖健康专业人员(18-29岁)进行的29次关键信息提供者访谈和讲习班。这两个小组都被邀请就澳大利亚性健康和生殖健康促进部门目前如何理解和应用数字和数据素养进行反思。受访者对数字和数据素养、公平以及将数字技术纳入卫生实践的挑战表示关切。研究结果强调了将重点从个人素养转向更广泛的组织能力的战略方法的必要性。这些能力包括:了解数字政策和平台治理(例如与社交媒体内容审核有关);了解卫生消费者和服务使用者目前如何利用数字系统来支持性健康和福祉;了解数字公平和数据公正在组织环境中可能被破坏或推进的方式。最后,我们提出了提高工作人员数字化和数据能力以及将DDoH纳入健康促进政策和实践以改善健康公平的建议。值得注意的是,我们得出结论,需要专门的资源和培训,以解决性健康和生殖健康背景下的家庭健康问题的复杂性。

期刊介绍: Health Promotion International contains refereed original articles, reviews, and debate articles on major themes and innovations in the health promotion field. In line with the remits of the series of global conferences on health promotion the journal expressly invites contributions from sectors beyond health. These may include education, employment, government, the media, industry, environmental agencies, and community networks. As the thought journal of the international health promotion movement we seek in particular theoretical, methodological and activist advances to the field. Thus, the journal provides a unique focal point for articles of high quality that describe not only theories and concepts, research projects and policy formulation, but also planned and spontaneous activities, organizational change, as well as social and environmental development.
