The Medical Students, Cancer Control, and the Deaf Community Training program (DCT) intended to create physicians who were culturally competent to care for deaf patients were evaluated. DCT medical students (n = 22), UCSD medical faculty (n = 131), and non-DCT medical students (n = 211) were anonymously surveyed about their perceptions related to deaf patients, deaf cultural competency, and interpreter use. The faculty and non-DCT medical students displayed less knowledge than the DCT students. These findings suggest that training medical students in deaf cultural competency can significantly increase their capacity to care for community members and reduce the health disparities experienced by this community.
对旨在培养具备文化能力以照顾失聪患者的医学生、癌症控制与聋人社区培训项目(DCT)进行了评估。对DCT医学生(n = 22)、加州大学圣地亚哥分校医学院教师(n = 131)和非DCT医学生(n = 211)进行了匿名调查,了解他们对失聪患者、聋人文化能力和口译员使用的看法。医学院教师和非DCT医学生所表现出的知识比DCT学生少。这些发现表明,对医学生进行聋人文化能力培训可以显著提高他们照顾社区成员的能力,并减少该社区所经历的健康差距。
