In the not so distant past, our health care system might have overlooked these discrepancies. However, more and more, the rising costs of health care and transformation into value-based and quality-driven indicators is forcing entities to also identify and improve on social determinants that affect health. The concept of social determinants of health is not new, but it is gaining traction due to health care’s imperative to break with the status quo. Social determinants of health help us answer questions such as the following: How do diabetes patients who lack refrigeration store insulin to be complaint with care? How can low-income people adopt an exercise program if neighborhoods are unsafe for walking? How can people incorporate fruits and vegetables into their diet if they live in a food desert? To answer these broader questions, the imperative is for the traditional health care model to change and expand, adopt interdisciplinary care models of health, and develop integrated health care systems that are more holistic and focus on patient-centered resources and practices. In essence, create a large ecosystem of partners and solutions around the patient to build equity. Another imperative toward improving health care disparities is to increase diversity and inclusion in practice. The nursing profession has just over three million registered nurses in the United States, but Hispanic nurses represent roughly less than 4%. Yet, in contrast, Hispanics in the United States account for 17% of the U.S. population. If health equity is best achieved with a workforce that mirrors communities served, then we should all be working to increase diversity into nursing and other health care professions. Two landmark initiatives commissioned by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation in 2004 documented the need for increased diversity within the health professions: (1) The Nation’s Compelling Interest—Ensuring Diversity in the Health Care Workforce, by the Institute of Medicine; and (2) Missing Persons—Minorities in the Health Professions, by the Sullivan Commission. The Sullivan Commission’s report concluded the following:","PeriodicalId":35432,"journal":{"name":"Hispanic Health Care International","volume":"14 1","pages":"199 - 199"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1540415316681883","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65402961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants: Hispanic young women between the ages of 18 and 24 years (N = 49). In total, 26 had not received the HPV vaccine, and 23 had started/completed the vaccine series. Method: Participants registered for the study via a psychology research pool at a large public university in the southeast United States after institutional review board approval. After completing a demographic information and HPV knowledge Web-based survey, participants were individually interviewed. Results: Differences in HPV vaccine knowledge emerged between vaccinated and nonvaccinated women. Fear of side effects, perceptions of risk, and sources of encouragement influenced willingness to be vaccinated against HPV. Health care providers played a central role in addressing concerns and promoting vaccination. Conclusions: Health care providers must address and integrate unique decision-making processes influencing Hispanic young adult women’s perceptions of HPV vaccination.","PeriodicalId":35432,"journal":{"name":"Hispanic Health Care International","volume":"7 1","pages":"184 - 191"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1540415316679808","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65402954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For example, beginning with this issue, we are publishing abstracts only in the language of the article. Hence, if the article is in English, the abstract will only be published in English, and for Spanish articles, the abstract that will be published will be in Spanish. As the journal undergoes changes, the goal is to provide a scholarly venue that meets the needs of the Hispanic population, nursing and other health care providers, and other scientific audiences, while disseminating cutting-edge knowledge and evidenced-based practice. With this in mind, a Positive Organizational Scholarship lens will be used throughout these changes. Cameron, Dutton, and Quinn (2003), define positive organizational scholarship as ‘‘the study of positive outcomes, processes, and attributes of organizations and their members,’’ which focuses on attributes that lead to exceptional performance such as ‘‘excellence, thriving, flourishing, abundance, resilience, or virtuousness’’ (p. 4). Positive organizational scholarship focuses on strengths instead of weaknesses and uses positive change practices (Cameron & McNaughtan, 2014). Applying positive change practices provides opportunities that potentially generate approaches that support learning and growth. Positive organizational scholarship allows positive dynamics of individuals, groups and organizations to look at phenomena in new ways. For the journal, these positive organizational scholarship attributes will be used to examine and generate new ideas and ways that make the journal stronger, more visible, and elevate and position it to have an even more competitive advantage. Although you have already seen some changes in the journal, you are bound to see more in the months to come as positive change practices will be used. I invite you on this exciting journey of change and know you are up for the challenge.

There is a lack of health care providers who are educated about the Latino culture and lack mentorship in the development of medical conversational Spanish. Method: The Nicaragua Clinical Experience is a service learning abroad program embedded in an academic setting through the scholarship of cultural immersion, language development, health care, and leadership development of students. Conclusion: The Nicaragua Clinical Experience is a unique academic program that prepares pre–health care majors to provide culturally congruent health care for the Latino population.
