Objective
This article describes Phase 1 of a pilot that aims to develop, implement, and test an intervention to educate and simultaneously engage highly stressed Latino parents in child mental health services. A team of Spanish-speaking academic and community co-investigators developed the intervention using a community-based participatory research approach and qualitative methods.
Method
Through focus groups, the team identified parents' knowledge gaps and their health communication preferences.
Results
Latino parents from urban communities need and welcome child mental health literacy interventions that integrate printed materials with videos, preferably in their native language, combined with guidance from professionals.
Conclusion
A 3-minute video in Spanish that integrates education entertainment strategies and a culturally relevant format was produced as part of the intervention to educate and simultaneously engage highly stressed Latino parents in child mental health care. It is anticipated that the intervention will positively impact service use among this group.
Antecedentes: El Síndrome Cornelia de Lange (SCdL) es un síndrome que presenta características congénitas, físicas y conductuales específicas, y que varían entre cada persona. Es una enfermedad rara, que presenta una prevalencia de 1 entre 10.000 a 60.000 individuos. Descripción del caso: El presente artículo compara dos casos clínicos de personas con SCdL, atendidas en la la Clínica de Cuidados Especiales (CCE) de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de Chile (FOUCh), en el cual se muestran distintos estados de salud bucal y por lo tanto diferentes aproximaciones terapéuticas, incluyendo al equipo multidisciplinario en la atención de ambos. Conclusión: Es importante que el odontólogo y el equipo de salud en general se adapten a las necesidades y condiciones de los pacientes, para realizar un tratamiento odontológico integral e individualizado para cada persona.
