Vas al m\u00e9dico, pero no puedes comunicarte con \u00e9l para decirle lo que est\u00e1 mal y no puedes entender lo que est\u00e1 diciendo. Esta es la realidad para muchos hispanohablantes en los Estados Unidos. Abril es el Mes Nacional de la Salud de las Minor\u00edas, un momento para aprender m\u00e1s sobre el estado de salud de las poblaciones minoritarias. Shawnee Health Care se esfuerza por mejorar el estado de salud de nuestra poblaci\u00f3n hispana local a trav\u00e9s de nuestro Programa de Salud para Trabajadores Agr\u00edcolas.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A trav\u00e9s de nuestro Programa de Salud para Trabajadores Agr\u00edcolas, tanto los trabajadores agr\u00edcolas migrantes como los de temporada pueden acceder a servicios m\u00e9dicos, dentales, de salud mental, nutricionales, farmac\u00e9uticos y sociales. Adem\u00e1s, un equipo de trabajadores de extensi\u00f3n biling\u00fces y biculturales est\u00e1 capacitado profesionalmente para brindar interpretaci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica en espa\u00f1ol en Shawnee Health Care, as\u00ed como administraci\u00f3n de casos, educaci\u00f3n de salud, extensi\u00f3n y ayuda con los arreglos de transporte.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Karla Grathler, coordinadora del programa, dice que si bien la diabetes, la hipertensi\u00f3n, las afecciones dentales y de la piel son problemas de salud prevalentes en esta poblaci\u00f3n, uno de los mayores problemas relacionados con la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica que ella y su equipo ven es la falta de comprensi\u00f3n de la salud preventiva. cuidado.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTratamos de crear conciencia sobre lo crucial que es mantenerse involucrado en su atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica, obtener sus ex\u00e1menes anuales y llevar a sus hijos a sus controles anuales. Nuestros proveedores est\u00e1n analizando su salud en general, y as\u00ed es como mejora su estilo de vida y su calidad de vida &quot;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Karla y su equipo dicen que la educaci\u00f3n es una de las cosas m\u00e1s importantes que hacen. Maria Arellano, int\u00e9rprete \/ trabajadora social, dice que cada vez que llega un paciente, intenta brindarle diferentes recursos de educaci\u00f3n para la salud adaptados a sus necesidades de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica. \u201cPor ejemplo, si son diab\u00e9ticos, tenemos recursos sobre c\u00f3mo afecta su vista hasta los dedos de los pies\u201d, dice Mar\u00eda.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Aunque la interpretaci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica y la educaci\u00f3n son partes importantes del trabajo de este equipo, esto solo rasca la superficie de lo que hacen. Estas mujeres realmente abogan por sus pacientes. Karla dice: \u201cNuestro personal son int\u00e9rpretes, pero vamos m\u00e1s all\u00e1. Usamos muchos sombreros. Realizamos actividades de divulgaci\u00f3n, interpretaci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica, transporte, gesti\u00f3n de casos; los pacientes sienten que podemos cuidarlos &quot;. Tienen esta reputaci\u00f3n en la comunidad; los pacientes viajan desde Chester, Red Bud y Cape Girardeau para recibir sus servicios.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Observan que los pacientes se sienten m\u00e1s seguros en sus citas cuando hay un int\u00e9rprete presente. Karla dice: \u201cEs muy interesante ver el comportamiento de los pacientes cuando no hablan el idioma del proveedor. Piensas, &#039;Oh, son muy t\u00edmidos. No hablan. Son muy silenciosos &#039;, pero he aprendido en mi experiencia que no siempre es as\u00ed. Cuando ponemos al paciente con un int\u00e9rprete, comienza a hacer preguntas. Se convierten en una persona diferente. Una vez que escuchan su idioma nativo, sienten: &#039;Oh, ahora puedo expresarme como quiero&#039; \u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Estas mujeres brindan un servicio invaluable a los hispanohablantes en el sur de Illinois.
