Abstract

Promoting wellness and providing reliable health information in the community present serious challenges. Lay health educators, also known as community health workers, may offer a cost-effective solution to such challenges. This is a retrospective observational study of graduates from the Lay Health Educator Program (LHEP) at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center from 2013 to 2014. Students were enrolled from the surrounding community congregations and from the hospital's accredited clinical pastoral education program. There were 50 events implemented by the lay health educators during the 2014-2015 time period, reaching a total of 2004 individuals. The mean time from date of graduation from the LHEP to implementation of their first health promotional event was 196 ± 76 days. A significant number of lay health educators implemented events within the first year after completing their training. Ongoing monitoring of their community activity and the clinical impact of their efforts should be a priority for future studies.

摘要

在社区中促进健康和提供可靠的健康信息面临着严峻挑战。非专业健康教育工作者，也被称为社区卫生工作者，可能为应对此类挑战提供一种经济高效的解决方案。这是一项对2013年至2014年约翰霍普金斯湾景医疗中心非专业健康教育者项目（LHEP）毕业生的回顾性观察研究。学生来自周边社区会众以及医院认可的临床神职教育项目。在2014 - 2015年期间，非专业健康教育工作者开展了50场活动，总计覆盖2004人。从LHEP毕业到开展首次健康促进活动的平均时间为196 ± 76天。相当数量的非专业健康教育工作者在完成培训后的第一年内就开展了活动。对他们的社区活动及其工作的临床影响进行持续监测应是未来研究的重点。
