Abstract

Introduction: Graphical representations of a case study can help learners recognize how systems and institutions impact health. The impact of the social determinants of health (SDoH) on individual and community health is well established, yet it may be challenging for students to visualize the impact of these components within a case study.

Purpose: This study explored the use of ecomaps in an interprofessional forum and examined the perceptions from students and faculty regarding use of this educational tool.

Methods: This tool was assessed over two semesters, Fall 2021 (n=968) and Fall 2022 (n= 835) to evaluate student and faculty perceptions of the use of the tool along with faculty's assessment of student completion of the tool within a rubric.

Results: Nearly all students (99%) came prepared to the forum and presented their ecomaps to others during the small group discussion to facilitate conversation as they explored the role of SDoH related to the case study. Both students and faculty rated the use of this tool favorably.

Discussion: In conclusion, ecomaps were viewed favorably by both students and faculty. This visual exploration of SDoH helps students to visualize both positive and negative factors that impact a patient's experience.

在跨专业论坛上利用 Ecomap 展示健康的社会决定因素的影响。

介绍：用图形表示案例研究可以帮助学习者认识到系统和机构是如何影响健康的。健康的社会决定因素（SDoH）对个人和社区健康的影响是公认的，但要让学生在案例研究中直观地了解这些因素的影响可能具有挑战性。目的：本研究探讨了在跨专业论坛中使用电子地图的情况，并考察了学生和教师对使用这一教育工具的看法：在2021年秋季（n=968）和2022年秋季（n=835）两个学期内对该工具进行了评估，以评价学生和教师对该工具使用的看法，以及教师对学生完成该工具的评价：几乎所有学生（99%）都是有备而来，并在小组讨论中向其他人展示了自己的电子地图，以便在探讨与案例研究相关的 SDoH 作用时促进对话。学生和教师都对这一工具的使用给予了好评：总之，电子地图受到了学生和教师的好评。这种对 SDoH 的可视化探索有助于学生直观地了解影响患者体验的积极和消极因素。
