摘要
美国每年都会重新安置难民。他们在肯塔基州中南部(KY)的人口是多样化的,适合研究文化依赖的医疗保健利用模式。一项混合研究采用了110份半结构化问卷和3份个人访谈。难民的国籍(F (5,98) = 4.29, p < 0.001)、文化适应(t = - 2.03, p < 0.04)和口译员(t = 1.92, p < 0.05)与卫生保健服务的使用存在显著差异。信念通过医疗保健提供者的文化能力水平影响使用。这些发现有助于围绕这一文化多样性人口的卫生政策辩论。
Health Seeking Behaviors among Displaced Populations/Refugees
The United States resettles refugees every year. Their population in south-central Kentucky (KY) is diverse and fitting to research into culture-dependent healthcare utilization patterns. A mixed study was conducted with one hundred and ten semi-structured questionnaires and three individual interviews. Significant differences were observed between the use of healthcare services and refugees’ nationality (F (5, 98) = 4.29, p < 0.001), acculturation (t = −2.03, p < 0.04), and interpreters (t = 1.92, p < 0.05). Beliefs affect use through the level of cultural competency of the healthcare provider. These findings contribute to the health policy debates surrounding this culturally diverse population.
