“…53 Knowledge of specific and general medical information has been linked to health behaviors such as screening. 50,51,[54][55][56][57] Findings from the present study suggest that Chinese Americans with higher collectivism views were more willing to participate in biospecimen research compared with those with less collectivism views, although this did not remain significant in multivariate analyses. Collectivists value actions with benefits to society and social life [23][24][25][26][27][28] and so support medical research by being willing to donate blood.…”

“…Many other studies indicate that trust in health care is linked to better health screening, adherence to medication, and satisfaction with health care. 7,8,[45][46][47][48][49][50][51] CBPR best practices suggest that including scientists and clinicians from respected health institutions in community partnerships builds community trust and may help to increase community involvement in biobanking. 52 Knowledge about biospecimen research plays an important role in Chinese American willingness to participate in biospecimen research as indicated by our bivariate results.…”

A paucity of information exists on the recruitment of Asian Americans for biospecimen research. Although studies show that Chinese Americans are at high risk for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, little is known about their willingness to participate in HBV-related biospecimen research and how knowledge, attitudes, and cultural factors impact their willingness to participate. The study was guided by Community-Based Participatory Research principles. Data were derived from an assessment study on HBV-related biospecimen research participation among Chinese Americans in the Philadelphia region. The assessment was conducted with 415 Chinese Americans recruited from eight Chinese community-based organizations. Cultural beliefs, knowledge, and attitudes toward biospecimen research were examined for associations with their willingness to participate in biospecimen banking research. Overall, 192 (46.3%) of 415 participants who completed the assessment indicated they were willing to participate if they were invited to donate blood to be frozen and stored for future HBV biospecimen studies. Cultural variables significant in bivariate analysis included collectivism, knowledge about biospecimen research, and Yin-Yang beliefs. Fatalism and individualism were not associated with participation willingness. In multivariate analysis, age, health care attitudes, and trust were significantly associated with willingness to participate in biospecimen banking research. Asian American communities have little knowledge of biospecimen banking and will benefit from educational campaigns that emphasize collective benefits and attitudes towards and trust in the health care system. Understanding cultural factors is important for improving Chinese Americans' knowledge, awareness, and intentions of participation in biospecimen research. Similar efforts need to be undertaken to develop culturally appropriate educational intervention programs to increase participation in biospecimen research among other Asian American groups.

“…While PN and similar models, such as community health workers and promotoras, are intended to provide emotional support and information,[4, 8, 13, 25–28] there is relatively little known about patients’ perceptions of social support from navigators or community health workers. [29–31] Wagner et al reported that patients randomized to nurse navigators reported being more involved in their care, more informed about how cancer affects their life and better prepared for the future.…”

Purpose Patient navigation is increasingly employed to guide patients through cancer treatment. We assessed the elements of navigation that promoted patients’ involvement in treatment among patients with breast and colorectal cancer that participated in a navigation study. Methods We conducted qualitative analysis of 28 audiotaped and transcribed semi-structured interviews of navigated and un-navigated cancer patients. Results Themes included feeling emotionally and cognitively overwhelmed and desire for a strong patient-navigator partnership. Both participants who were navigated and those who were not felt that navigation did or could help address their emotional, informational, and communicational needs. The benefits of logistical support were cited less often. Conclusions Findings underscore the salience of personal relationships between patients and navigators in meeting patients’ emotional and informational needs.

“…As other studies have described, training programs often offer inadequate support in dealing with clients' interpersonal issues. 21,22 Our peer coaches stated that these skills were as important, if not more so, than the content-oriented skills they were taught. Training programs should also provide a realistic picture of the coaching role.…”
