Didactic Curriculum

Many refugee and immigrant women in the United States experience cultural and language barriers when seeking pregnancy-related medical care. Such barriers may delay needed care and adversely impact birth outcomes. Embrace Refugee Birth Support (Embrace) in Clarkston, Georgia, supports pregnant refugee women by offering birth education classes in the women’s primary languages. Our academic–practice partnership designed and implemented a series of birth education videos for Embrace participants. Based on input from former participants, the partnership team created video scenarios that could be embedded into Embrace’s existing didactic curriculum. The videos addressed common challenges and learning needs identified by previous participants. All videos were filmed in the participant’s primary languages (Swahili and Kinyarwanda) and featured actual Embrace graduates who spoke the languages. Then, Embrace trainers used the video scenarios to augment teaching on birth preparedness and foster participant discussion during class sessions. After implementation, a focus group with participants in the video-expanded class reported the videos were well received, understood, and practically related to their pregnancy needs. Overall, participants reported that video scenarios were an important part of their learning and skill development, as well as a positive experience. Embrace has plans to continue creating native language educational videos for additional languages and birth-related topics. The academic partner’s attempts to measure video impact with standardized quantitative instruments at baseline were terminated. The substantive revisions in data collection strategies highlight the need for cross-cultural flexibility and the potential for unforeseen barriers when using quantitative research tools among non–English-speaking participants.
