目的：本研究探讨文化敏感和基于案例的教育干预，像我这样的照顾者，提高拉丁裔照顾者对临终关怀资源的知识和态度的能力。方法：对来自不同地理区域和文化背景的拉丁裔社区进行多中心、横断面研究。对拉丁裔老年人的家庭照顾者进行教育干预，采用基于案例的电视连续剧和测试前-测试后问卷。结果：145名参与者以女性居多（79%），平均年龄56 - 15岁。他们报告从干预中积极学习（91%）和对教育经历的高满意度（92%）。从测试前到测试后，照顾者压力自我意识和接受专业帮助的意愿都有显著提高。结论：文化敏感的教育干预提高了拉丁裔照顾者对照顾者压力的自我意识，并提高了他们在EOL护理中考虑专业帮助的必要性。
Objective: This study explores the ability of a culturally sensitive and case-based education intervention, Caregivers Like Me, to improve knowledge and attitudes regarding end-of-life (EOL) resources among Latino caregivers.Methods: A multicentered, cross-sectional study of Latino communities from different geographical regions and cultural backgrounds. An educational intervention was administered to family caregivers of Latino elders using a case-based video telenovela and pretest-posttest questionnaires.Results: Participants (N = 145) were mostly females (79%) with mean age of 56 15 years. They reported active learning from intervention (91%) and high satisfaction (92%) with educational experience. Both caregiver stress self-awareness and willingness to accept professional help improved significantly from pretest to posttest.Conclusion: A culturally sensitive educational intervention increased Latino caregivers' self-awareness about caregiver stress and the need to consider professional assistance for EOL care.
