The theory of social determinants of health (SDH) posits that the health of people and communities is affected by social and economic factors (i.e., economic stability, education, neighborhood and built environment, health and health care, and social and community context). These interrelated constructs may negatively affect minority patients’ ability to participate in cancer research. Understanding SDH can help nurse researchers assess and address barriers to research participation, as well as design trials to improve minority patients’ cancer-related health.
健康的社会决定因素(SDH)理论认为,个人和社区的健康受到社会和经济因素(即经济稳定性、教育、社区及建成环境、健康与医疗保健,以及社会和社区背景)的影响。这些相互关联的因素可能会对少数族裔患者参与癌症研究的能力产生负面影响。了解健康的社会决定因素有助于护理研究人员评估并解决研究参与的障碍,以及设计试验以改善少数族裔患者与癌症相关的健康状况。
