Village-based Community Health Aides and Community Health Practitioners (CHA/Ps) are the primary providers of health care in rural Alaska.
We discuss the development and results of a CHA/P cancer self-assessment survey, which assessed comfort with cancer knowledge and providing cancer information.
A total of 402 responses were received from a mailed questionnaire to 477 CHA/Ps. Respondents were predominantly Alaska Native women. Using a 5-point Likert scale from don't know to very comfortable, approximately 50% of CHA/Ps reported feeling "OK" when providing information about cancer risk factors, cancer screening, surviving cancer, and providing care and support. CHA/Ps reported feeling less comfortable with discussing cancer diagnosis, treatment, pain, and loss and grief.
以村庄为基础的社区健康助理和社区健康从业者(CHA/Ps)是阿拉斯加农村地区医疗保健的主要提供者。
我们讨论了一项CHA/P癌症自我评估调查的开展情况和结果,该调查评估了对癌症知识的掌握程度以及提供癌症信息的情况。
通过向477名CHA/Ps邮寄问卷,共收到402份回复。受访者主要是阿拉斯加原住民女性。使用从“不知道”到“非常自在”的5点李克特量表,约50%的CHA/Ps表示在提供有关癌症风险因素、癌症筛查、癌症幸存者以及提供护理和支持等信息时感觉“还行”。CHA/Ps表示在讨论癌症诊断、治疗、疼痛以及丧失和悲伤方面感觉不太自在。
