UNASSIGNED: To examine whether participation in a Human Library can facilitate the development of OT students\' cultural awareness and sensitivity and to understand the factors contributing to changes in cultural competence from the students\' perspective.
UNASSIGNED: This is a mixed-method study. Quantitative data was collected by participant characteristic survey and pre/post-Human Library cultural competence assessment (CCA). The quantitative data was used to inform the selection of participants and questions for the second qualitative phase. Quantitative data were analyzed using independent samples and paired t-tests, analysis of variance and Pearson correlation. Qualitative data were analyzed using coding reliability thematic analysis.
UNASSIGNED: Statistically significant increases were noted in CAS, CCB and overall CCA scores from pre- to post-Human Library. Participant characteristics such as gender, work experience in aged care and the health sector had a positive effect on pre-Human Library CCA results. Qualitative data demonstrated that participants perceived they had a level of cultural competence prior to attending the Human Library however, still made gains in cultural awareness and sensitivity and were motivated and inspired to provide culturally congruent healthcare.
UNASSIGNED: The Human Library can be considered for inclusion within a suite of learning methods for healthcare professional student curricula as a cost-effective, flexible teaching method for the development of competencies for culturally congruent healthcare.
■研究参与人类图书馆是否可以促进OT学生的文化意识和敏感性的发展,并从学生的角度了解导致文化能力变化的因素。
■这是一项混合方法研究。通过参与者特征调查和人类图书馆文化能力评估(CCA)之前/之后收集了定量数据。定量数据用于为第二个定性阶段的参与者和问题的选择提供信息。定量数据采用独立样本和配对t检验进行分析,方差分析和皮尔逊相关分析。使用编码可靠性主题分析对定性数据进行分析。
■在CAS中注意到统计学上的显着增加,人类图书馆前后的CCB和总体CCA得分。参与者的特征,如性别,老年护理和卫生部门的工作经验对人类图书馆前CCA结果产生了积极影响。定性数据表明,参与者认为他们在参加人类图书馆之前具有一定的文化能力,仍然在文化意识和敏感性方面取得了进展,并受到激励和启发,提供文化上一致的医疗保健。
■可以考虑将人类图书馆纳入医疗保健专业学生课程的一套学习方法中,灵活的教学方法,以发展文化上一致的医疗保健能力。
