“…While variations in social work education about death and dying and end-of-life care exist (Csikai, 2009;Csikai & Jones, 2007), the field will continue to expand and benefit from research that acknowledges diverse cultural contexts (Adames, Chavez-Dueñas, Fuentes, Salas, & Perez-Chavez, 2014;Wong et al, 2012).…”

Many social workers are expected to work with individuals and families who are dealing with life-limiting illnesses, yet during their university education they may not have been exposed to materials that address issues related to death and dying. The Social Work Department of University of New England in Armidale, Australia designed and delivered a palliative care teaching and learning session using publicly funded online materials. Themes emerging from questionnaire and focus group data analysis included appreciation for the importance and emotional demands of the materials, sensitivity and flexibility among educators who ideally have work experience in the field, expanding presence of social work philosophy in curriculum materials and exploring spirituality, and examining culture-informed practice in greater depth. Among the implications is the need for concerted efforts to teach about death and dying using high quality accessible materials, while ensuring social work values and approaches are reflected in the content.

“…In a study adapting a colorectal cancer screening decision aid for Spanish-speaking Latinos, focus group participants stated a preference for personalism (personalismo) in having a patient character, rather than an anonymous narrator, be a guide to the medical information [56]. Others have described the importance of integrating these values into the care of Hispanics receiving palliative care [42], and our findings support the need to affirm and acknowledge these values across treatment settings and integrate them into patient education.…”

“…Hispanic cultures have long been recognized for collectivistic and multigenerational households where elders are cared for and respected [41]. Personalismo has been described as a core value in Hispanic cultures and places a high value on informal and supportive relationships with others [42]. Similarly, familismo is a core value that emphasizes importance of extended family and a responsibility to care for and support each other.…”

Spanish speakers in the United States encounter numerous communication barriers during cancer treatment. Communication-focused interventions may help Spanish speakers communicate better with healthcare providers and manage symptoms and quality of life issues (SQOL). For this study, we developed a Spanish version of the electronic self-report assessment for cancer (ESRA-C), a web-based program that helps people with cancer report, track, and manage cancer-related SQOL. Four methods were used to evaluate the Spanish version. Focus groups and cognitive interviews were conducted with 51 Spanish-speaking individuals to elicit feedback. Readability was assessed using the Fry readability formula. The cultural sensitivity assessment tool was applied by three bilingual, bicultural reviewers. Revisions were made to personalize the introduction using a patient story and photos and to simplify language. Focus group participants endorsed changes to the program in a second round of focus groups. Cultural sensitivity of the program was scored unacceptable (falsex¯=3.0) for audiovisual material and acceptable (falsex¯=3.0) for written material. Fry reading levels ranged from 4th to 10th grade. Findings from this study provide several next steps to refine ESRA-C for Spanish speakers with cancer.

85ORIGINAL RESEARCH rate of obesity rate among Hispanic/Latino men, with rates differing across Hispanic/Latino background. 2 For example, among men, obesity rates were 40.9% among Puerto Ricans, 36.8% among Mexicans, and 27% among South Americans. 2 T he health of Latino men is an understudied area 1 and overweight and obesity is a significant public health concern among Latino men. In the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos, there was a 37% Abstract Background: Overweight and obesity is a significant public health concern among Latino men. Common correlates of obesity that have been examined in previous studies are diet, physical activity, and body image.Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine whether or not there are differences in body image, physical activity and cultural variables between Mexican and Puerto Rican men.Methods: Participants completed a health and culture interview, anthropometric measures, a dietary assessment, and an objective measure of physical activity. The results are from the 203 participants who completed the health and culture interview.Results: Mexicans and Puerto Ricans did not differ in their current and ideal body image, body image discrepancy, body satisfaction or how they described their weight. Puerto Ricans watched a greater number of hours of television per day than Mexicans ( p < .01). There were no significant differences in their participation in any regular activity designed to improve or maintain their physical fitness, the number of times or length they engaged in this activity, or in their perceived exertion during this activity. Puerto Ricans reported a higher level of familism ( p < .01) and machismo ( p < .05) than Mexicans. There were no ethnic differences in folk illness beliefs, fatalism or personalism, acculturation level, acculturative stress, or ethnic identity. Conclusions:Results are discussed in relation to the development of healthy eating, physical activity and body image interventions for Puerto Rican and Mexican men.
