This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Background/problem: Indigenous populations of the Pacific Basin have health statistics similar to developing countries . One theory of how to improve the health of this region is to recruit and train more indigenous providers to care for patients in the areas of need, thus increasing the number of providers, improving the cultural knowledge of the providers and the level of commitment to the community. However very few Micronesians have successfully pursued health science careers. Purpose: CRC assistance is requested to help fund this study to examine the factors common to successful Micronesian health care providers (physicians, medical officers, nurses and nurse practitioners), and factors that they perceived as barriers to the career paths they chose. Methods: This study will be conducted in two phases: Phase 1: Qualitative interviews: Initial interviews will be conducted with 10 health care providers of Micronesian descent. Information obtained will be analyzed by the PI using the qualitative analysis program by SPSS TechSmart for concepts and themes. Phase 2: The information gained from these interviews will be utilized to develop a written survey form that will then be sent to 200 health care providers of Micronesian descent via email and snail mail with an anticipated return rate of 50%. The number of participants chosen constitutes a majority of the Micronesian healthcare providers practicing in the countries of the Pacific. The results of this survey will be analyzed by the PI using SAS software for row mean scores and regression analyses to understand the impact of demographic factors on the row mean scores. Significance: The results of the research project will be utilized to develop and improve programs to increase the number of students successfully pursuing healthcare careers across the Pacific.

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子弹和调查员（PI）可能已经从其他NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他清晰的条目中代表。列出的机构适用于该中心，这不一定是调查员的机构。背景/问题：太平洋盆地的土著人口的健康统计数据与发展中国家类似。如何改善该地区健康的一种理论是招募和培训更多的土著提供者，以照顾需要领域的患者，从而增加提供者的数量，从而提高提供者的文化知识和对社区的承诺水平。但是，很少有密克罗斯人成功从事健康科学职业。 目的：要求CRC援助帮助这项研究，以研究成功的密克罗尼西亚医疗保健提供者（医师，医务人员，护士和护士从业人员）的共同因素，以及他们认为是他们选择的职业道路的障碍的因素。方法：这项研究将分为两个阶段：第1阶段：定性访谈：将对10个Microseisan Descent的医疗保健提供者进行初步访谈。 SPSS TechSmart的定性分析计划将通过PI分析获得的信息，以概念和主题。第2阶段：将利用从这些访谈中获得的信息来开发书面调查表，然后通过电子邮件和蜗牛邮件将200％的预期回报率发送给200个密克罗尼斯血统的医疗保健提供者。选定的参与者人数构成了在太平洋国家执业的密克罗尼西亚医疗保健提供者的大部分。 PI将使用SAS软件来分析该调查的结果，以进行行平均得分和回归分析，以了解人口统计因素对行平均得分的影响。 意义：研究项目的结果将用于制定和改善计划，以增加在太平洋成功从事医疗保健职业的学生人数。
