The Haitian population within the US represents the largest diaspora outside of Haiti, with most Haitians residing in major urban communities. Despite clear differences in health outcomes specific to Haitians, the community has traditionally been aggregated into the general Black population. To address specific health disparities, this workshop was designed to distinguish and elaborate on the health care problems affecting Haitians.
We created an interactive 60-minute workshop including a PowerPoint presentation, two case presentations, and a 5-minute informational video to bring awareness of the historical perspectives impacting Haitian/Haitian American health, access to care, and health care disparities to providers. Knowledge was assessed by pre- and postworkshop evaluation forms. The module was aimed at health care professional learners.
Seventy-four people with diverse ethnoracial identities, including medical students, residents, academic faculty, physicians, nonmedical graduate students, and health care staff and administrators, attended three workshops. All learning objectives were met, with pre- and postworkshop data indicating a statistically significant increase in participants' reported confidence. Workshop attendees commented positively on the group discussion component, the workshop's interactive nature, the opportunity to apply taught knowledge to case presentations, and the historical context provided.
As the number of Haitian immigrants continues to rise throughout US urban communities, providers must increase their culture competency in training and delivery to improve care for a major population. This module can help better prepare health care providers and trainees to offer competent care to Haitian/Haitian American patients.
美国境内的海地人群代表了海地以外最大的侨民群体，其中大多数海地人居住在主要的城市社区。尽管海地人在健康结果方面存在明显差异，但该群体传统上被归入一般的黑人人群中。为了解决特定的健康差距问题，本次研讨会旨在区分和详细说明影响海地人的医疗保健问题。
我们创建了一个互动式 60 分钟的研讨会，其中包括一个 PowerPoint 演示文稿、两个病例介绍和一个 5 分钟的信息视频，以提高医疗保健提供者对影响海地人/海地裔美国人健康、医疗保健可及性和医疗保健差距的历史观点的认识。通过会前和会后的评估表来评估知识。该模块面向医疗保健专业学习者。
74 人参加了三个研讨会，他们具有不同的种族身份，包括医学生、住院医师、学术教师、医生、非医学研究生以及医疗保健工作人员和管理人员。所有学习目标都已达成，会前和会后的数据表明，参与者报告的信心有统计学上的显著提高。研讨会参加者对小组讨论部分、研讨会的互动性质、将所学知识应用于病例介绍的机会以及提供的历史背景给予了积极的评价。
随着海地移民在美国城市社区的数量不断增加，医疗保健提供者必须在培训和服务中提高其文化能力，以改善对主要人群的护理。这个模块可以帮助医疗保健提供者和受训者更好地准备为海地人/海地裔美国人患者提供有能力的护理。
