摘要

难民和移民抵达美国后会产生不良的健康后果。无论入境时的健康状况如何,这些负面结果往往与普通人群的结果不成比例。研究表明,强大的健康素养可以改善这一群体的健康状况。本文报告了图书馆和信息科学硕士生向难民和移民妇女提供健康知识培训的试点结果。这项培训是在与专家和社区合作伙伴协商后创建的。参与者接受了成人功能性健康素养短期测试(STOFHLA)的前后测试,以评估该干预措施的疗效。课程结束后,参与者接受了采访,并被要求就该计划的相关性和有用性提供全面反馈,以满足他们的健康相关信息需求。他们的反馈是实质性的,将是该试点项目未来迭代的基础。该组的测试前和测试后得分显示出统计学上的显著改善,提供了该课程在提高STOFHLA得分方面有效的证据。这篇文章提供了为高度弱势群体提供健康素养指导的见解,这对图书馆和信息科学专业人员来说可能是非常宝贵的。这项工作的目的是创建一个针对移民和难民妇女的可复制课程,并在图书馆提供,以及一个LIS学生可以参与的项目,为动态的社区参与做准备。

Exploring Ways of Knowing: Teaching the Skill of Health Literacy to Refugee and Immigrant Women
Refugees and immigrants have adverse health outcomes after arriving in the United States. These negative outcomes tend to be disproportionate to those of the general population, regardless of the person’s health status upon entry to the country. Research has shown that strong health literacy skills can improve health outcomes in this group. This article reports the results of a pilot in which Library and Information Science Master’s students deliver health literacy training to refugee and immigrant women. This training was created in consultation with experts and community partners. The participants were pre- and post-tested with the Short Test of Functional Health Literacy for Adults (STOFHLA) to assess the efficacy of this intervention. Following the completion of the course, the participants were interviewed and asked for comprehensive feedback on the relevance and helpfulness of the program to satisfy their health-related information needs. Their feedback was substantial and will be the basis of a future iteration of this pilot. The pre- and post-test scores of the group showed a statistically significant improvement, providing evidence that the course was effective in raising STOFHLA scores. This article provides insight into providing health literacy instruction for a highly vulnerable group that may be invaluable to library and information science professionals. The purpose of this work is to create a replicable curriculum targeting immigrant and refugee women to be delivered at libraries—and a program in which LIS students can get involved to prepare for dynamic community engagement.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Education for Library and Information Science (JELIS) is a fully refereed scholarly periodical that has been published quarterly by the Association for Library and Information Science Education (ALISE) since 1960. JELIS supports scholarly inquiry in library and information science (LIS) education by serving as the primary venue for the publication of research articles, reviews, and brief communications about issues of interest to LIS educators.
