Abstract

Abstract As stakeholders embrace the efficiency of early disease detection and linkage to care services, corresponding demand for linkage specialists necessitates a clearer understanding of what defines and differentiates this role from the similar work of social workers and epidemiologists. The purpose of the present literature review was to identify the most frequently cited duties, knowledge, skills and abilities required of linkage specialists in employment advertisements and described in peer-reviewed literature. We conducted searches using Google, MEDLINE with Full Text, Academic Search Complete, Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition, SocINDEX with Full Text, Social Sciences Full Text, and PubMed with MEDLINE. Two reviewers applied exclusion criteria and assessed search returns. Employment ads for linkage specialists and disease intervention specialists most often described linkage to care, client education, and maintenance of client data. The linkage specialist role can be cultivated through its roots in disease detection and programmatic development.

确定联系专家在艾滋病毒护理级联中的作用
摘要随着利益相关者接受早期疾病检测的效率以及与护理服务的联系,对联系专家的相应需求需要更清楚地了解是什么定义了这一角色,并将其与社会工作者和流行病学家的类似工作区分开来。本文献综述的目的是确定招聘广告中联系专家所需的最常被引用的职责、知识、技能和能力,并在同行评审文献中进行描述。我们使用谷歌、MEDLINE全文、学术搜索完整、健康来源:护理/学术版、SocINDEX全文、社会科学全文和PubMed MEDLINE进行搜索。两名评审员应用了排除标准并评估了搜索结果。联系专家和疾病干预专家的招聘广告通常描述与护理、客户教育和客户数据维护的联系。联系专家的作用可以通过其在疾病检测和方案开发中的根源来培养。
