We developed a culturally-adapted program (WE Stop the Bleed) to increase bleeding control knowledge and self-efficacy among Somali individuals, and to build trust between Somali individuals and first responders.
WE Stop the Bleed was piloted in the Seattle Somali community with first responders as skills coaches. The program included: 1) adapted ACS Stop the Bleed program; 2) cultural exchange. We evaluated knowledge, self-efficacy, and trust between Somali participants and first responders using a pre/post survey.
Attendance exceeded a priori goals (27 community participants, 13 first responders). 96% of participants would recommend the training. Knowledge and self-efficacy improved pre/post (62%-72%, 65%-93% respectively). First responders indicated increased comfort with Somali individuals, and participants reported positive changes in perceptions of first responders.
WE Stop the Bleed is a feasible and acceptable program to increase bleeding control knowledge and self-efficacy among participants and build trust between participants and first responders.
我们开发了一个文化适应性项目（WE Stop the Bleed），以提高索马里人对出血控制的知识和自我效能感，并在索马里人和急救人员之间建立信任。
WE Stop the Bleed 项目在西雅图的索马里社区中进行试点，急救人员作为技能教练参与其中。该项目包括：1）改编的 ACS Stop the Bleed 项目；2）文化交流。我们使用预/后调查评估了索马里参与者和急救人员之间的知识、自我效能感和信任。
参与人数超过了事先设定的目标（27 名社区参与者，13 名急救人员）。96%的参与者会推荐这种培训。知识和自我效能感在预/后有所提高（分别为 62%-72%和 65%-93%）。急救人员表示对索马里人更加放心，参与者也报告说对急救人员的看法有了积极的变化。
WE Stop the Bleed 是一个可行且可接受的项目，可以提高参与者对出血控制的知识和自我效能感，并在参与者和急救人员之间建立信任。
