Book Synopsis Health Promotion of Adolescent Sex Education With Hmong Youth by : Pang Vang

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sexual health is an important topic to discuss during the adolescent period to promote healthy decision making to prevent unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The topic of sexual health is not discussed in Hmong families due to cultural taboos leaving Hmong youth to not receive accurate information regarding sexual health to prevent unplanned pregnancies and STIs. Using Madeline Leininger's culture care theory as a framework, a scholarly project was developed using lessons from an evidence-based sexual health curriculum. The presentation distributed sexual health information and resources to Hmong adolescents ages 13-18 in a community setting. A total of 7 participants attended the presentation. A pre and post survey was completed by the participants as a way to measure baseline knowledge and knowledge after the presentation. Participants who answered on the pre-survey about knowing, "nothing at all," to "only a little," improved on the post-survey as "some" knowledge, and "a lot" of knowledge. This scholarly project advances nursing practice by designing and implementing sexual health education using evidence-based curriculums. Future projects could include educating parents to give them the tools necessary to engage in conversations about sexual health with their adolescents
Book Synopsis Hmong American Concepts of Health, Healing, and Conventional Medicine by : Dia Cha
Download or read book Hmong American Concepts of Health, Healing, and Conventional Medicine written by Dia Cha and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's healthcare system in the twenty-first century faces a variety of pressures and challenges, not the least of which is that posed by the increasingly multicultural nature of American society itself. Large numbers among the Hmong, immigrants from the landlocked Asian nation of Laos, continue to prefer their own ancient medical traditions. That these Hmong Americans should continue to adhere to a tradition of folk medicine, rather than embrace the modern healthcare system of America, poses questions that must be answered. This book takes up the task of examining Hmong American concepts of health, illness and healing, and looks at the Hmong American experience with conventional medicine. In so doing, it identifies factors that either obstruct or enable healthcare delivery to the Hmong, specifically a target sample of Hmong Americans resident in Colorado. Drawing upon scientific methods of data collection, the research reveals attitudes currently held by a group of American citizens toward health and medicine which run the gamut from the very modern to those which have prevailed in the highlands of Southeast Asia for centuries.

Book Synopsis Healing by Heart by : Kathie Culhane-Pera
Download or read book Healing by Heart written by Kathie Culhane-Pera and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healing by Heart is a book of stories--stories of people's search for culturally responsive health care from U.S. providers. It offers resources to providers and institutions committed to delivering culturally responsive health care, paying special attention to building successful relationships with traditional Hmong patients and families. It makes available extensive information about the health-related beliefs, practices, and values of the Hmong people, including photographs of traditional healing methods. Ranging in age from young infants to older adults, the patients in the stories present a wide range of health problems. The clinicians are from family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics, emergency medicine, surgery, obstetrics-gynecology, psychiatry/psychology, and hospice. Each of the fourteen case stories is accompanied by discussion questions as well as two or three commentaries. The commentaries--written by patients, family members, shaman, Western clinicians (including Hmong physicians, nurses, and social workers), medical anthropologists, health care ethicists, social workers, psychologists, and clergy--are rich in personal reflections on cross-cultural health care experiences. Readers are rewarded with a combination of perspectives, including those of Hmong authors who have not previously published in English and scholars with years of professional experience working with the Hmong in Laos, Thailand, and the United States. The editors offer a model for delivering culturally responsive health care with special attention to matters of cross-cultural health care ethics. The model identifies questions health care providers can focus on as they seek to understand the health-related moral commitments and practices prevalent in the cultural groups they serve, ethical questions that arise frequently and with great poignancy in cross-cultural health care relationships, and points to consider when a patient's treatment wish challenges the provider's professional integrity. By sharing stories of suffering, confusion, and success, Healing by Heart couples an accessible method of learning about others with concrete recommendations about how to enhance cross-cultural health care relationships.

Book Synopsis A Descriptive Study of the Sexual Health Practices of Hmong College Students Ages 18-24 by : Mai Kue (MK) Her

This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Hmong college student population increases, improving services that target retention and persistence becomes more important. Understanding sexual health needs and concerns is one way to ensure academic success for college students. The Hmong are not considered an underrepresented minority group because they are lumped into the broader group of "Asian," which is populated with groups such as the Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Filipinos with higher levels of academic achievements. Unfortunately, empirical data regarding differences in sexual health behaviors and sexual health outcomes among Hmong heterosexual college students are scarce. The study examines the sexual health promotion practices, related outcomes, screening practices, and other prevention behaviors among Hmong college students. The research methodology includes an online survey questionnaire with 64 quantitative questions and one open-ended questionnaire and resulted in a final sample size of 455. For the purpose of this study, only the sexual health needs of traditional age college students who were between the ages of 18-24, single and identify as heterosexual/straight were analyzed. The final number of Hmong student respondents used for this study analysis was 250, with 171 females and 79 males, both with an average age of 20. Data were analyzed statistically using the chi-square test with an alpha level of .05. A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) between sexually experienced students and Hmongness was conducted to look at the risky behaviors of the respondents. Crosstabulations on sexual health behaviors within sexually experienced (SE) and sexually inexperienced (SI) males and females were analyzed. An independent-samples t-test was run to compare the means between SE males and SE females who have engaged and never engaged in anal intercourse on sexual risk behaviors. Using thematic analysis, one open-ended question was grouped into four themes: 1) advice to college students about sexuality, 2) attitudes and values about sexuality, 3) Hmong culture and sexuality, and 4) type of education needed to appeal to Hmong students. The data analysis indicated Hmong students are like non-Hmong students in that they are delaying marriage/family to pursue education as well as utilizing contraceptive services while underutilizing STI/HIV screening. For SE respondents, the mean age at first intercourse for both sexes was 17 years of age. Males were more likely to have multiple lifetime number of partners (3.43) than females (2.26). More females than males have been tested for STIs (38.7 percent versus 13.3 percent) as well as HIV (33 percent versus 11.1 percent). Condom use was the most common method of contraception reported by male (62.2 percent) as well as female (39 percent). Sexually experienced males masturbated more on a daily and weekly basis (74.4 percent) compared to SE females (42.7 percent). Twenty-five percent of SE males and 37.1 percent of SE females have engaged in anal intercourse. Students who identified strongly with their Hmong culture and values were less likely to participate in several risk-taking behaviors (more than three partners in the last year, one-night stand, sex without a condom, cheating on a partner through intercourse, regretful sex, and anal intercourse). The study found Hmong students who were more acculturated exhibited a greater number of risky behaviors. A better understanding of intergenerational differences, acculturation factors as well as the role of Hmong traditions and family responsibilities further expand our ability to improve the health of Hmong in America. These results suggest that many college bound Hmong men and women are putting higher education before sexual relationships and are crafting a sexual ethic based more on responsibility. Finally, more research is needed that disaggregates Hmong data from the larger API group.
