BACKGROUND
Although there is a need for gender-specific health care, especially within the context of vocational rehabilitation for youth with disabilities, clinicians, trainees, and community service providers commonly report lacking training in gender-sensitive approaches. Therefore, an educational tool designed for clinicians working with youth, that addresses how to approach such issues, could help clinicians to augment the care they provide.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of our study was to conduct a pilot evaluation of an educational simulation for health care and service providers focusing on gender-sensitive approaches within the context of supporting youth with disabilities in vocational rehabilitation.
METHODS
We conducted a survey from May to September 2021 to assess the relevance of the simulation content, preliminary perceived impact on gender-sensitive knowledge and confidence, and open-ended feedback of a web-based gender-sensitive educational simulation. A total of 12 health care providers from a variety of professions who had experience working with youth in the context of vocational rehabilitation participated in the survey (11 women and 1 man).
RESULTS
Most participants reported that the content of the simulation was relevant and comprehensive. The majority of participants reported that the simulation helped to increase their perceived knowledge or understanding of the topic, changed their perceived understanding of their intervention or approach, and informed their perceived confidence. Our qualitative findings from the open-ended questions highlighted three main themes: (1) relevance of the simulation content, (2) perceived impact for clinical practice (ie, gender-sensitive language and communication and building rapport with patients), and (3) perceived impact on organizational processes (ie, practices, policy, and privacy).
CONCLUSIONS
Our educational simulation shows preliminary potential as an educational tool for service providers working with youth who have a disability within the context of vocational rehabilitation. Further research is needed to assess the impact of the tool with larger samples.
背景
尽管需要针对性别的医疗保健，尤其是在为残疾青年提供职业康复服务的背景下，但临床医生、实习生和社区服务提供者普遍表示缺乏性别敏感方法方面的培训。因此，为与青少年打交道的临床医生设计的一种教育工具，能够解决如何处理此类问题，有助于临床医生提升他们提供的护理质量。
目的
我们研究的目的是对一种教育模拟进行试点评估，该模拟针对医疗保健和服务提供者，重点是在支持残疾青年进行职业康复的背景下采用性别敏感方法。
方法
我们在2021年5月至9月进行了一项调查，以评估模拟内容的相关性、对性别敏感知识和信心的初步感知影响，以及基于网络的性别敏感教育模拟的开放式反馈。共有12名来自不同职业、有在职业康复背景下与青少年打交道经验的医疗保健提供者参与了调查（11名女性和1名男性）。
结果
大多数参与者报告称模拟内容相关且全面。大多数参与者报告称模拟有助于增加他们对该主题的感知知识或理解，改变他们对干预或方法的感知理解，并提升他们的感知信心。我们从开放式问题中得出的定性结果突出了三个主要主题：（1）模拟内容的相关性，（2）对临床实践的感知影响（即性别敏感语言和沟通以及与患者建立融洽关系），以及（3）对组织流程的感知影响（即实践、政策和隐私）。
结论
我们的教育模拟显示出作为一种教育工具的初步潜力，适用于在职业康复背景下与残疾青年打交道的服务提供者。需要进一步研究以评估该工具在更大样本中的影响。
