摘要

社区卫生工作者参与宣传工作,作为增强客户能力、克服健康差距和改善其社区的健康和社会福祉的关键手段。在以往研究的基础上,本文根据CHW倡导的预期影响水平,提出了一个概念化CHW倡导的新框架。卫生工作者参与了三个“层面”的倡导,微观、宏观和专业。本文还详细介绍了他们在每个级别上面临的挑战。随着在美国和国外采取措施将这些工人制度化,他们对倡导活动的参与可能会减少。由于倡导是赋予客户权力的主要渠道,因此将这一角色置于整合这些员工的步骤中至关重要。最后,本文为卫生工作者在解决健康的社会决定因素和帮助其社区努力实现卫生公平方面的影响提供了理由。

Being a Community Health Worker Means Advocating
Community health workers (CHWs) participate in advocacy as a crucial means to empower clients in overcoming health disparities and to improve the health and social well-being of their communities. Building on previous studies, this article proposes a new framework for conceptualising CHW advocacy, depending on the intended impact level of CHW advocacy. CHWs participate in three ‘levels’ of advocacy, the micro, the macro, and the professional. This article also details the challenges they face at each level. As steps are taken to institutionalise these workers throughout the United States and abroad, there is a danger that their participation in advocacy will diminish. As advocacy serves as a primary conduit through which to empower clients, enshrining this role in steps to integrate these workers is essential. Finally, this article provides justification for the impacts of CHWs in addressing the social determinants of health and in helping their communities strive towards health equity.

期刊介绍: Anthropology in Action (AIA) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing articles, commentaries, research reports, and book reviews in applied anthropology. Contributions reflect the use of anthropological training in policy- or practice-oriented work and foster the broader application of these approaches to practical problems. The journal provides a forum for debate and analysis for anthropologists working both inside and outside academia and aims to promote communication amongst practitioners, academics and students of anthropology in order to advance the cross-fertilisation of expertise and ideas. Recent themes and articles have included the anthropology of welfare, transferring anthropological skills to applied health research, design considerations in old-age living, museum-based anthropology education, cultural identities and British citizenship, feminism and anthropology, and international student and youth mobility.
