Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Rural Health Disparities
  • Indigenous Health

Background:

  • American Indian and Alaska Native (Native) Veterans face significant barriers accessing U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care.
  • Challenges include distance, complexity, cultural insensitivity, and poor integration with Indian Health Service (IHS) and Tribal Health Care.
  • The Veteran's Health Administration's (VHA) Office of Rural Health (ORH) initiated a patient navigation program in 2020 to address these disparities for rural Native Veterans.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To gather perspectives from rural Native Veterans, their families, and community advocates on the development of a patient navigation program.
  • To identify essential roles, functions, and personal characteristics for a Veteran patient navigator tailored to this population.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study involving 34 participants: rural Native Veterans, their families, and community advocates.
  • Data collection through video and phone interviews.
  • Exploration of the desired role and characteristics of a Veteran patient navigator.

Main Results:

  • Participants strongly supported the concept of a navigator program to enhance access to VHA services.
  • Key desired navigator attributes include empathy, support, cultural knowledge, understanding of Veteran experiences in tribal communities, VHA system navigation skills, and consistent personnel.
  • These insights are crucial for designing an effective navigation program.

Conclusions:

  • A culturally tailored patient navigation program is essential to improve VHA health care access for rural Native Veterans.
  • Navigator characteristics must align with the specific needs and cultural contexts of the Native Veteran community.
  • This program has the potential to significantly increase rural Native Veteran engagement with VHA services.
