背景基于社区的协作方法作为解决职业健康差异的一种手段受到越来越多的关注。然而，在职业健康研究中很少考虑与参与和维持社区伙伴关系高度相关的组织能力。方法为了描述与中国移民工人健康相关的社区组织能力，我们采用了横断面描述性设计，研究了来自华盛顿州金县6个社区部门的36个机构。每个机构的两名代表进行了联合访谈，讨论了组织能力的三个方面：组织承诺、资源和灵活性。描述性统计用于按社区部门捕获这些维度的模式。结果部门之间和部门内部的组织能力差异很大。华人和泛亚洲服务部门对华人移民工人的健康能力高于华人信仰、工会、公共和泛亚洲非营利部门。结论社区部门组织能力的差异可以为选择以社区为基础的移民工人健康干预的合作者提供信息。
BackgroundCommunity‐based collaborative approaches have received increased attention as a means for addressing occupational health disparities. Organizational capacity, highly relevant to engaging and sustaining community partnerships, however, is rarely considered in occupational health research.MethodsTo characterize community organizational capacity specifically relevant to Chinese immigrant worker health, we used a cross‐sectional, descriptive design with 36 agencies from six community sectors in King County, Washington. Joint interviews, conducted with two representatives from each agency, addressed three dimensions of organizational capacity:organizational commitment,resources, andflexibility. Descriptive statistics were used to capture the patterning of these dimensions by community sector.ResultsOrganizational capacity varied widely across and within sectors. Chinese and Pan‐Asian service sectors indicated higher capacity for Chinese immigrant worker health than did Chinese faith‐based, labor union, public, and Pan‐ethnic nonprofit sectors.ConclusionsVariation in organizational capacity in community sectors can inform selection of collaborators for community‐based, immigrant worker health interventions.
