Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Objectives: "1." To assess the current landscape of COPD beliefs, perceptions and practices, as well as health literacy as it relates to Chinese Mandarin and Cantonese-speaking patients; "2." To develop effective partnerships within primary care physicians serving Chinese newcomers in the GVA' "3." To conduct focus group sessions with collaborative primary care physicians to identify common factors that contribute to under service and access barriers among patients in the target communities; "4." To assess the effectiveness of the educational materials on patients' beliefs, perceptions, practices, and health literacy related to COPD control and self-management; and "5." To improve the capacity of physicians and allied health workers in primary care settings in educating patients and their families about self-management of COPD.
The implementation of the project will include the following phases: "1." Build and strengthen established partnerships with primary care practices serving newcomers in GVA; "2." Conduct an environmental scan and needs assessment (literature review, interviews and focus groups with community members and key-informants); "3." Development of story scripts, video clips and other educational materials, and relevant measurement tools; "4." Application of the video clips and other educational materials to test their effectiveness on health literacy, beliefs, and knowledge among COPD patients from the target communities; and "5." Evaluation of the usefulness of videos and other educational materials, and the project's process and outcomes.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This research will make theoretical, methodological and applied research contributions. It will establish strong community - primary care provider and academic connections for the development of the proposed educational materials, measurement tools, and framework. Community participation will be included throughout the development of this study, enhancing the potential of acquiring new knowledge about cultural and traditional practices of the sample population.
Our approach will enable primary health care providers, knowledge users, and policy makers to design appropriate educational intervention initiatives targeted to diverse ethnic minority groups in relation to COPD. We foresee findings that provide not only better ways to measure health literacy pertaining to COPD in our target populations, but that will also help develop materials and measures that can be applied to other populations in BC and the rest of Canada. We expect that the participatory approach used in this study will contribute to capacity building, improving newcomers' ability to access and use relevant COPD information (in terms of prevention, control and management) and to transfer and share the information learned with other members of the target communities. The proposed community consultation will also help us identify culturally appropriate communication mode(s) to deliver health information messages and determine practical adult learning approaches applicable to diverse communities in Canada.
