There has been an increased focus on utilizing critical consciousness-focused interventions to address complex, multidimensional socio-cultural problems, particularly health inequities. These interventions usually incorporate a critical dialogue component. However, there's little guidance on how to implement, facilitate and evaluate critical dialogue to develop critical consciousness (i.e., reflecting and acting on sociopolitical inequities). This conceptual paper: 1) introduces critical dialogue and the tools used to implement critical dialogue from the literature; 2) details the development of the intervention to present how incorporated a critical dialogue component; 3) provides a brief overview of a proposed framework of critical consciousness development that the critical dialogue component of could support; 4) provides an anecdotal exploration of the critical dialogue sessions used in the first pilot test of the intervention through the proposed framework of Transformative Consciousness; and 5) suggests practice guidelines for group work that incorporates facilitated critical dialogue.
人们越来越关注利用以批判性意识为重点的干预措施来解决复杂的、多维度的社会文化问题，尤其是健康不平等问题。这些干预措施通常包含一个批判性对话部分。然而，关于如何实施、促进和评估批判性对话以培养批判性意识（即对社会政治不平等进行反思并采取行动），几乎没有相关指导。这篇概念性论文：1）从文献中介绍批判性对话以及用于实施批判性对话的工具；2）详细阐述干预措施的发展情况，以说明其如何纳入批判性对话部分；3）简要概述一个拟议的批判性意识发展框架，该干预措施的批判性对话部分可以支持这一框架；4）通过拟议的变革性意识框架，对干预措施首次试点测试中使用的批判性对话环节进行轶事性探索；5）提出包含促进性批判性对话的小组工作实践指南。
