abstract: 'This article examines how Community Health Workers (CHWs) build trust
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with low-income women of color who have a historical distrust of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
healthcare system, and are at risk for maternal-child health
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disparities. This qualitative study used a grounded theory methodology
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
guided by Charmaz''s inductive social constructivist approach. Data were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
collected using open-ended semi-structured interviews and focus groups
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with CHWs who worked in community-based and hospital-based programs in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
California, Oregon, Illinois, Texas, South Carolina, New York, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Maine. Thirty-two CHWs participated, with 95\% of participants being of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Latinx and African American ethnicity. They served women from Latinx,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
African American, and Migrant communities. The CHW communication
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
strategies represent aspects of respect and client-centered care and are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
applied in the development of a theoretical framework. CHWs were able to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
build and sustain trust at the initial encounter through these specific
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
strategies: 1) addressing immediate needs related to social determinants
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of health; 2) embodying mannerisms and dress; 3) speaking appropriately
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to the client''s age, culture, and knowledge; 4) easing client''s fears
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
through locus of control, and 5) allowing for time flexibility. These
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
findings have implications for practice through interventions to train
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
healthcare providers to build trust with low-income women of color who
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
have a historical distrust of the healthcare system and who are at risk
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for maternal-child health disparities. Future research is recommended to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
explore how the communication trust-building constructs also benefit all
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
other groups at similar risk, including those with mental health
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disorders and infectious diseases. The findings indicate specific
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
communication strategies through which trust can be built, beginning at
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the initial encounter with low-income women at risk for maternal-child
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
health disparities and who have a historical distrust of the healthcare
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
system.'
