Framework for virtual education of COVID-19 vaccines for Mandarin-speaking learners: An educational intervention module

Background: In the United States, patients with limited English proficiency face significant barriers to comprehending and acting upon health-related information, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The ability of health professionals to communicate COVID-19-related information to Mandarin-speaking patients has proved critical in discussions about vaccine efficacy, side effects, and post-vaccine protection. Methods: The authors created a one-hour educational module to help Mandarin-speaking medical students better convey COVID-19 vaccine information to Mandarin-only speakers. The module is composed of an educational guide, which introduced key terminology and addressed commonly asked questions, and pre- and post-surveys. The authors recruited 59 Mandarin-speaking medical students from 31 U.S. academic medical centers, all of whom had previously completed a medical Mandarin elective. The module and surveys were distributed and completed in August 2021. Data analysis measured the c..., The data was collected through surveys made on Qualtrics and distributed through email listservs. The data was downloaded on Microsoft Excel and analyzed through R Studio and GraphPad Prism.  ,背景：在美国，英语能力有限的患者在理解健康相关信息并据此采取行动方面面临显著障碍，这一情况在新冠疫情（COVID-19 pandemic）期间尤为突出。医疗专业人员向普通话使用者传递新冠相关信息的能力，在围绕疫苗效力、不良反应及疫苗接种后防护展开的讨论中已被证实至关重要。方法：研究团队开发了一款时长一小时的教育模块，旨在帮助具备普通话背景的医学生更好地向仅使用普通话的人群传递新冠疫苗相关信息。该模块由教育指南与前后测调查问卷两部分组成，其中教育指南用于讲解核心专业术语并解答常见疑问。研究团队从美国31家学术医疗中心招募了59名具备普通话背景的医学生，所有参与者此前均修读过医学普通话选修课程。该模块与调查问卷于2021年8月发放并完成填写。数据分析旨在对……进行测量评估，原文此处内容未完整呈现。本次研究数据通过Qualtrics平台搭建的调查问卷收集，并通过电子邮件列表发放。数据通过Microsoft Excel下载，并使用R Studio与GraphPad Prism完成分析。
