Abstract

Health communication is a critical component of public health, which includes health education resources. Resource effectiveness is improved where health literacy demands, including the cultural appropriateness of resources, match the intended audience. International guidelines support the tailoring of resources for migrants from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds (CaLD). Five focus groups (n = 18) and interviews (n = 9) with people from CaLD migrant backgrounds explored community perspectives on sexual health resources developed by a state department of health, specifically clarity, comprehensiveness, cultural appropriateness and strategies for dissemination. We identified three major thematic areas relating to simplicity, cultural norms and beliefs and dissemination. Participants recommended resource delivery in different formats as part of a broader intervention. Generally, sexual health information was deemed appropriate and easily understood. However, the resources used simplified language that participants reported was vague and inaccurate at times, potentially contributing to misinformation and reinforcing stigma relating both to the status of being a migrant and sexual health. Findings suggest the need for more nuanced health resource development beyond translation and language simplification. Resources developed in different formats, including different health literacy demands, using approaches that engage the target group in design and dissemination and contextualized within a comprehensive health promotion project, are likely to be more effective.

你说得像在跟孩子说话":探讨社区对开发和传播针对移民的性健康教育资源的看法
健康传播是公共卫生的重要组成部分,其中包括健康教育资源。如果健康素养需求(包括资源的文化适宜性)与目标受众相匹配,资源的有效性就会提高。国际指南支持为来自不同文化和语言背景(CaLD)的移民量身定制资源。与来自不同文化和语言背景(CaLD)的移民进行了五次焦点小组讨论(n = 18)和访谈(n = 9),探讨了社区对州卫生部门开发的性健康资源的看法,特别是清晰度、全面性、文化适宜性和传播策略。我们确定了与简洁性、文化规范和信仰以及传播有关的三大主题领域。与会者建议将不同形式的资源提供作为更广泛干预的一部分。一般来说,性健康信息被认为是适当和易于理解的。然而,这些资源使用了简化的语言,据参与者报告,这种语言有时含糊不清且不准确,可能会造成误导,并强化与移民身份和性健康有关的耻辱感。研究结果表明,除了翻译和简化语言之外,还需要开发更加细致入微的健康资源。以不同形式开发的资源,包括不同的健康扫盲需求,采用让目标群体参与设计和传播的方法,并结合综合健康促进项目的背景,可能会更加有效。
