The present study discusses a pilot intervention for youth in a predominantly Latinx rural community in the U.S. The intervention incorporated multimodal creative activities into the social cognitive career theory-based healthcare career program. Participants ( = 75) were assessed for healthcare career self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and interests (pre-/post-intervention). Their healthcare career task self-efficacy and interests scores significantly increased overall. By race/ethnicity groups, however, only White students reported an increase in healthcare interests, and only students of color an increase in healthcare career task self-efficacy. This provides preliminary evidence for the effectiveness of the proposed intervention. Implications for services and research are discussed.
本研究探讨了针对美国一个以拉丁裔为主的农村社区青少年的一项试点干预措施。该干预措施将多模式创意活动纳入了基于社会认知职业理论的医疗保健职业项目。对参与者（n = 75）进行了医疗保健职业自我效能感、结果期望和兴趣方面的评估（干预前/后）。他们的医疗保健职业任务自我效能感和兴趣得分总体上显著提高。然而，按种族/族裔群体划分，只有白人学生报告医疗保健兴趣有所增加，只有有色人种学生的医疗保健职业任务自我效能感有所增加。这为所提议干预措施的有效性提供了初步证据。文中还讨论了对服务和研究的启示。
