摘要:
夏威夷大學癌症中心通過太平洋島民癌症健康公平伙伴關係 (PIPCHE) 與學術和社區伙伴合作,研究在太平洋島民群體中仍然存在的健康不平等和差異。該伙伴關係的社區外展核心(COC)通過使用社區參與和文化基礎方法來減輕癌症負擔,促進癌症研究,並確保將歷史上被排除在外的社區觀點融入其中。然而,菲律賓人中的癌症健康差異表明在該社區中需要進行癌症防治行動。COC工作人員與夏威夷的菲律賓護士和醫療領袖進行了五次半結構化的關鍵訪談,以建立與社區的合作伙伴關係,並為未來的癌症預防和控制工作提供社區驅動的指導。受訪者就COC的社區參與、建立關係和未來的指導癌症方向提供了建議。訪談還為在菲律賓社區內進行指導癌症教育和資源合作奠定了關係建立和社區合作的基礎。訪談中揭示的主題為如何開始解決癌症問題提供了指導,並為受訪者成為我們的外展咨詢委員會的成員,以與菲律賓社區進一步合作和未來的社區參與癌症預防工作的框架提供了基礎。©2023 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
The University of Hawai'i Cancer Center works with academic and community partners to examine health disparities and inequities that persist among Pacific Island Populations through the Pacific Island Partnership for Cancer Health Equity (PIPCHE). The Partnership's Community Outreach Core (COC) assists and promotes cancer research and helps to ensure the integration of historically excluded community perspectives by utilizing community-engaged and culturally-grounded approaches to reduce cancer burdens. However, cancer health disparities among Filipinos demonstrate a need for cancer-control initiatives within this community.COC staff conducted five semi-structured key informant interviews with Filipino nurse and healthcare leaders in Hawai'i to establishpartnerships with the community, as well as provide community-driven guidance for future cancer prevention and control efforts.The informants provided recommendations for COC community engagement, relationship building, and future areas of directed cancer focus. The interviews also initiated relationship-building and community collaborations for directed cancer education and resources within Filipino communities.The themes uncovered from the interviews provided guidance on how to begin addressing cancer concerns, and led to the informants' subsequent membership in our Outreach Advisory Council to engage in future collaboration with the Filipino community and a framework for future community-engaged cancer prevention efforts.© 2023 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
