Family health history can be used as a health promotion tool to assess health risk, improve data collection and disease prevention, initiate interventions, and motivate behavioral change, but its utility as a public health tool has not been fully explored. Collecting information for a family health history can be a challenging task. However, it is an important skill for undergraduate students to learn, particularly those in pre-health majors. Our aim was to create a family interview protocol for students' successful family health history collection using findings from students' research papers and a scoping review.
We summarized and listed suggestions from students' papers. Our scoping review followed Arksey and O'Malley's (2005) review process and the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Review checklist (2018).
We used Medline, CINAHL (EBSCO), ERIC (ProQuest), Web of Science, and Academic Search Premiere databases and Google. Using Covidence, we included peer-reviewed, English, journal articles and grey literature, narrowing our key term combinations to terms like family health history, interview or protocol, and undergraduate or health professional student.
Protocol suggestions included having appropriate settings and preparation to conduct interviews with questions on socio-demographics, cultural and family relationship dynamics, health behaviors, and acute and chronic condition questions for family members. Students' papers addressed preparation for conducting interviews and obtaining better data from existing family trees and extended relatives to maximize learning about risk assessment. The scoping review revealed two themes associated with family health history, including creating genograms and interview methods used with history taking.
Implementing the protocol for future assignments will provide students with a training opportunity to identify their own disease risks, improve their family health history knowledge, and collect family health history data relevant to prevention and interventions focused on understanding chronic conditions and their management.
家族健康史可作为一种健康促进工具，用于评估健康风险、改进数据收集和疾病预防、启动干预措施以及激发行为改变，但其作为公共卫生工具的效用尚未得到充分探索。收集家族健康史信息可能是一项具有挑战性的任务。然而，对于本科生，尤其是健康相关专业预科的学生来说，这是一项需要学习的重要技能。我们的目标是利用学生研究论文的结果和一项范围综述，为学生成功收集家族健康史创建一份家庭访谈方案。
我们总结并列出了学生论文中的建议。我们的范围综述遵循了阿克西和奥马利（2005年）的综述流程以及范围综述清单的PRISMA扩展版（2018年）。
我们使用了医学文献数据库（Medline）、护理学与健康领域数据库（CINAHL，EBSCO）、教育资源信息中心数据库（ERIC，ProQuest）、科学引文索引数据库（Web of Science）、学术搜索高级版数据库（Academic Search Premiere）以及谷歌。通过Covidence软件，我们纳入了经过同行评审的英文期刊文章和灰色文献，并将关键术语组合缩小为家族健康史、访谈或方案以及本科生或健康专业学生等术语。
方案建议包括具备适当的环境和准备工作，以便就社会人口统计学、文化和家庭关系动态、健康行为以及家庭成员的急慢性疾病问题进行访谈。学生论文讨论了进行访谈的准备工作，以及如何从现有的家族树和远亲那里获取更好的数据，以便最大限度地了解风险评估。范围综述揭示了与家族健康史相关的两个主题，包括创建系谱图以及病史采集时使用的访谈方法。
在未来的作业中实施该方案将为学生提供一个培训机会，使其能够识别自身的疾病风险，增进对家族健康史的了解，并收集与预防和干预相关的家族健康史数据，这些预防和干预措施侧重于了解慢性病及其管理。
