To develop a culturally sensitive occupation-based health promotion intervention for older Hispanic adults who live alone.
We used a mixed method design for the content validation of the intervention and the Ecological Validity Model (EVM) to culturally center the intervention. In the quantitative phase, aging experts as well as community members from two activity centers for the elderly in Puerto Rico completed a content validity ratio exercise. In the qualitative phase, we conducted three focus groups with these participants. Data analysis included content validity ratio and a directed content analysis.
This resulted in a working version of the intervention protocol addressing the eight dimensions of the EVM.
The EVM can be used to culturally center preventive interventions to other ethnic minority groups to augment the external validity and cultural competence of interventions. Future research must test the feasibility of this new intervention.
为独居的西班牙裔老年人开发一种具有文化敏感性的基于职业的健康促进干预措施。
我们采用混合方法设计对干预措施进行内容验证，并使用生态效度模型（EVM）使干预措施具有文化中心性。在定量阶段，来自波多黎各两个老年活动中心的衰老专家和社区成员完成了内容效度比率练习。在定性阶段，我们与这些参与者进行了三个焦点小组讨论。数据分析包括内容效度比率和定向内容分析。
这产生了一个针对EVM八个维度的干预方案工作版本。
EVM可用于使针对其他少数民族群体的预防性干预措施具有文化中心性，以增强干预措施的外部效度和文化能力。未来的研究必须测试这种新干预措施的可行性。
