Abstract

The World Health Organization called for mobile health initiatives to improve population health outcomes, particularly in limited-resource settings. The aim of our study was to reflect upon approaches embedded in cultural humility and recognize areas where improvement was needed in the social innovation collaborative development of an mHealth app to improve hypertension health literacy in India. A qualitative descriptive case study approach was employed to elicit concepts of cultural humility and areas for improvement derived from communications between project stakeholders. Overarching themes included fostering coalescence and strengthening partnerships in addition to multiple subthemes. Enveloping cultural humility in multidisciplinary, interprofessional and cross-cultural healthcare projects and processes is imperative for the development and implementation of successful culturally congruent health initiatives. Team fostering of coalescence and recognizing challenges and adapting to mitigate challenges can strengthen partnerships, a desired consequence of cultural humility.

跨文化团队合作:在移动医疗发展和研究中整合文化谦逊。

世界卫生组织呼吁采取流动保健行动，以改善人口健康结果，特别是在资源有限的情况下。我们研究的目的是反思嵌入文化谦逊的方法，并认识到在社会创新合作开发移动健康应用程序以提高印度高血压健康素养方面需要改进的领域。采用定性描述性案例研究方法来引出文化谦逊的概念和源自项目利益相关者之间沟通的改进领域。总体主题包括促进合并和加强伙伴关系，以及多个分主题。在多学科、跨专业和跨文化的医疗保健项目和过程中，包涵文化谦逊对于制定和实施成功的文化一致的健康倡议是必不可少的。培养团队凝聚力，认识挑战并适应以减轻挑战，可以加强伙伴关系，这是文化谦逊的理想结果。

期刊介绍： Informatics for Health & Social Care promotes evidence-based informatics as applied to the domain of health and social care. It showcases informatics research and practice within the many and diverse contexts of care; it takes personal information, both its direct and indirect use, as its central focus. The scope of the Journal is broad, encompassing both the properties of care information and the life-cycle of associated information systems. Consideration of the properties of care information will necessarily include the data itself, its representation, structure, and associated processes, as well as the context of its use, highlighting the related communication, computational, cognitive, social and ethical aspects. Consideration of the life-cycle of care information systems includes full range from requirements, specifications, theoretical models and conceptual design through to sustainable implementations, and the valuation of impacts. Empirical evidence experiences related to implementation are particularly welcome. Informatics in Health & Social Care seeks to consolidate and add to the core knowledge within the disciplines of Health and Social Care Informatics. The Journal therefore welcomes scientific papers, case studies and literature reviews. Examples of novel approaches are particularly welcome. Articles might, for example, show how care data is collected and transformed into useful and usable information, how informatics research is translated into practice, how specific results can be generalised, or perhaps provide case studies that facilitate learning from experience.
