To address this disparity, novel strategies for recruiting Latinx medical students into the specialty must be explored. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional survey was distributed to Latinx medical students in the United States via social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) and Latino Medical Student Association (LMSA) chapters. Results: Most respondents were unfamiliar with Otolaryngology-specific health disparities affecting Latinx communities and indicated an interest in learning more about these disparities. Most respondents indicated that early exposure to Otolaryngology disparities affecting Latinx communities could increase interest in exploring the specialty. Additionally, most participants deemed a department's commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion and opportunities to serve Latinx patients to be necessary residency program attributes when deciding between programs (69.2% and 66.7%, respectively). Conclusion: Integrating community outreach and education on Otolaryngology-related health disparities into undergraduate medical education may serve as a promising strategy to enhance Latinx recruitment and representation in the specialty.","PeriodicalId":73240,"journal":{"name":"Hispanic health care international : the official journal of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses","volume":" ","pages":"15404153251356589"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144602439","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}

Methods: This study used a quantitative design with a self-administered questionnaire to collect data from 473 participants recruited via community outreach, social media, and referrals. Results: Participants showed higher acculturation and moderate breast cancer knowledge. Among participants, 66% had regular mammograms, 14.4% never had one, and 19.7% had inconsistent or discontinued screenings. Older participants, non-U.S.-born, primarily Spanish speakers, unmarried, unemployed, less educated, uninsured, without a primary care provider, and with lower acculturation and breast cancer knowledge were more likely to be in the TTM precontemplation/contemplation/preparation stage or exhibit inconsistent screening. Conclusion: Our results identified participants with specific demographics, lower acculturation, and limited breast cancer knowledge as being at higher risk of never receiving or inconsistently obtaining mammograms, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to address socio-demographic barriers and increase knowledge.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out using an online survey from April to June 2022 in four hospitals. The Nursing Stress Scale was used to comprehensively assess stress levels among healthcare professionals. Results: The findings revealed a substantial contrast in stress outcomes based on personal circumstances. Healthcare professionals in stable partnerships and with children exhibited lower stress levels, acting as protective factors during the pandemic. Conversely, those engaged in rotating shifts, especially those working over 60 h per week, showed a sevenfold increase in high-stress probability (p < 0.05). Temporary contract holders and those with heightened exposure to COVID-19 reported elevated stress levels, highlighting the complex dynamics impacting the mental well-being of healthcare workers. Conclusions: Findings emphasize the necessity for targeted interventions to safeguard healthcare professionals' well-being, focusing on the psychological consequences of factors like rotating shifts and extended working hours. Protective elements such as stable partnerships and parenthood could serve as a foundation for initiatives supporting work-life balance, potentially involving government policies and hospital management.","PeriodicalId":73240,"journal":{"name":"Hispanic health care international : the official journal of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses","volume":" ","pages":"102-106"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141977359","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}

Method: This systematic review included all articles published up to January 3, 2024, and used the CINAHL, MEDLINE, and PubMed databases. The objective was to include the body of knowledge on published articles on the readability levels of Spanish-language, web-based health information intended for lay audiences. Results: There were 27 articles in the final review. Within these articles, 11 tools were used in the Spanish language text. Of the tools, INFLESZ was the most frequently used and the FRY formula, Flesch-Szigriszt Index, and Flesch Formula Index were least used. Most materials (85.2%) reported readability levels of online Spanish information above the 8th grade reading level. Conclusions: The findings show the lack of internet-based Spanish language health information and materials at a recommended (e.g., 5th to 8th grade) reading level.

Methods: Data obtained from 1,007 adults who participated in the Hispanic Community Health Study were analyzed. Structural social support was measured with the Social Network Index (SNI), which assessed network size and frequency of social contacts. Tooth loss was measured by a count of the number of missing teeth and categorically as severe tooth loss (<9 remaining teeth). Descriptive statistical analyses were conducted to examine the sample characteristics. Logistic and negative binomial regression analyses were performed to examine the independent association between SNI and tooth loss and to test whether the association was modified by the glycemic target. Results: The prevalence of severe tooth loss was 5.91%. For each one-unit increase in SNI, the expected log count of the number of missing teeth was reduced by 3.3% (p-value: 0.037). Conclusions: In this study, a larger social network size was associated with fewer missing teeth among Hispanic persons living with diabetes.

Students created a 5-min script focused on healthy eating plans with recognition of traditional foods associated with the Hispanic culture. Students delivered the script to community members attending an annual Hispanic Heritage Festival. Results: Seventy-six percent of the 488 community participants reported increased knowledge about diabetes risk factors and healthy eating habits. Each student completed a self-reflection on how the project impacted their transcultural skills and reported increased confidence related to engagement and communication with the Hispanic community.

However, literature suggests that Latina women are twice as likely to experience depression during pregnancy. Group telehealth-based interventions are a promising approach to increasing access and reducing barriers to mental health. However, little is known about the experience that Latinas have with navigating this approach. This paper aimed to explore Latina mothers' perspectives and recommendations in using telehealth to deliver a mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy (MBCBT) group intervention. Methods: Fourteen pregnant or postpartum women participated in focus groups and individual interviews. Interview topics included perinatal depression, knowledge and content of interventions, and the feasibility and acceptability of the telehealth approach. Data were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using a grounded theory approach. Results: Three broad themes emerged; (1) accessibility to telehealth, (2) relational connection through technology, and (3) technological issues affecting access (i.e., level of familiarity with portal, video quality, etc.). Enhancers promoting participation in the telehealth intervention included reduced scheduling concerns and no need for childcare. Barriers included mistrust of providers' engagement, concerns about privacy, and potential for lack of relational connection through technology.
