Description
"<< Background >>HEALTH CLUB emerged from the profound awareness that health is a ""relational good"": people can feel good alone if they are healthy, but when they get sick the presence of others is necessary. To be effective, relationships must be based on principles such as acceptance and non-judgment of diversity. In the healthcare sector, relationships have 2 characteristics: they are the key to diagnosis and prevention; they are asymmetrical, because there is always a disparity between doctor and patient, especially if patients come from different cultural contexts and there is difficulty in understanding each other. Therefore, if poorly managed, healthcare relationships can compromise the effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment, the right timing of which, in the case of some pathologies, is crucial. In this framework, HC wanted to create, on a small scale, an international relational community of socio-health professionals and citizens of Third Countries who, together, co-constructed a training model for the relational and intercultural empowerment of social and health professionals, to facilitate health inclusion by preventing intercultural conflicts and increasing the ability to deal with diversity.<< Objectives >>Through its 4 activities, in its 16 months of time, HEALTH CLUB has made it possible to achieve 3 specific objectives, consistent with the priorities of the program: 1) train social and healthcare professionals with intercultural relational skills, helping them to better manage relations with diversity; 2) raise awareness among citizens of third countries and foreign communities in the target countries on the issues of primary, secondary and tertiary prevention, increasing their trust in social and healthcare professionals, and therefore in local healthcare systems; 3) raise awareness among local communities of the project's themes, from an intercultural perspective, increasing social interactions and facilitating the creation of a local humus that welcomes and facilitates the structuring of the model. Objective (1) was achieved after a phase of ANALYSIS of the training needs of professionals and the health of Third Country Citizens and with the co-creation, based on the needs that emerged, of the training model; objectives (2) and (3) were achieved as a consequence of (1), promoting the values and aims of the project to foreign citizens and local communities.<< Implementation >>4 macro-activities were conducted:1) ANALYSIS: preparatory to all the others, this activity made it possible to survey the training needs of social and health professionals, as well as the health needs of Third Country Nationals; it was conducted with multilingual questionnaires, setting up 2 research teams (ITA & TUR).
