Learning and Teaching Latino Mental Health, Social Justice and Recovery to Visiting Students: A Pilot Study

Main Article Content

Abstract

Aproximadamente el 18% de la población de los Estados Unidos es Hispana (United States Census Bureau, 2019), y de ellos, el 15% tuvo una enfermedad mental diagnosticable en el último año (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2020); aun así, los Latinos reciben la mitad de los servicios de salud mental que los caucásicos (Office of Mental Health, 2020). Los grupos étnicos minoritarios reciben estándares de atención más bajos debido a creencias o actitudes sesgadas de los profesionales de la salud (Shepherd et al., 2018). El número de psiquiatras latinos no es suficiente para atender a la creciente población latina en los Estados Unidos (Alarcón, 2001; American Psychiatric Association, 2017). Existe la necesidad de capacitar a estudiantes de medicina y residentes en competencias culturales (Alarcón, 2001). Desarrollamos un estudio piloto de curriculum con las siguientes lecciones: (a) Disparidades de salud y sesgos implícitos, (b) Recuperación en salud mental, (c) Inmigración y aculturación, (d) Entrevista de formulación cultural (e) Valores latinos, y (f) Sistemas de salud mental. Los temas se centraron en la salud mental de los latinos y utilizaron la técnica de enseñanza "aula inversa" con ejercicios interactivos de aprendizaje. Medimos el impacto en el conocimiento, las actitudes y el nivel de comodidad relacionados con el concepto enseñado en las lecciones de este curso. Esta enseñanza tiene un impacto positivo en la mejora del nivel de comodidad y el conocimiento de los estudiantes. No hay suficientes oportunidades educativas e información sobre estos temas. Por lo tanto, replicar este plan de estudios y expandir la educación en salud mental latina mejorará los servicios de salud que se brindan a esta comunidad
