Exploring Indigenous Traditional Healing programs in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand: A scoping review
2023, ExploreCitation Excerpt :[W]e call upon those who can effect change within the Canadian healthcare system to recognize the value of Aboriginal healing practices and use them in the treatment of Aboriginal patients in collaboration with Aboriginal healers and Elders, where requested by Aboriginal patients7 p.3. In countries such as Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, the disparities in health between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people are well documented8,9. Indigenous people have been reported to have a greater burden of disease, historical trauma, and lower life expectancy than non-Indigenous people10,11.
Mapping the maternal health research landscape in Nunavut: A systematic search & critical review of methodology
2020, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :This can lead to the emergence of maternal health research methodologies that resonate with an Inuit epistemological framework (Healey and Tagak, 2014), and value the contribution of Inuit ways of knowing and being to understanding a topic, such as storytelling and arts-based methodologies (Fanian et al., 2015; Fraser and al Sayah, 2011; Jackson and Coleman, 2015; Kovach, 2009; Simonds and Christopher, 2013). Quantitative methodologies, too, may meaningfully integrate Indigenous models of health and wellness (Cameron et al., 2010), both as ethical research practice (Cochran et al., 2008), and as that which improves the relevance of data to local-level health assessment and planning (Smylie et al., 2006). Not all research methods will be logical or practical for addressing every research question; however, opportunity exists for maternal health researchers to engage the ongoing process of evaluating their methodological decisions and specific practices, in light of the Inuit epistemological, ontological, and cultural contexts in which they work and to explore new methodologies (Healey and Tagak, 2014; Simonds and Christopher, 2013).
Conceptual interdisciplinary model of exposure to environmental changes to address indigenous health and well-being
2019, Public HealthCitation Excerpt :For many indigenous peoples, health and well-being is a balance of relationships among individuals, communities and the ecosystem.15,16 Indigenous peoples have poorer health compared with their majority counterparts worldwide.17–23 For instance, studies throughout America, Africa and Oceania highlight inequities in health between indigenous peoples and non-indigenous groups17,18,21,24 Mortality for US indigenous peoples compared with non-indigenous peoples is four times greater owing to alcohol-related diseases and two times greater owing to both diabetes and unintentional injuries.25
Understanding longer-term disability outcomes for Māori and non-Māori after hospitalisation for injury: results from a longitudinal cohort study
2019, Public HealthCitation Excerpt :Such inequities are seen across the health sector, as well as for other indigenous populations, and therefore, contribute to a wide range of poorer health outcomes. Studies have found that a variety of issues including socio-economic inequities,44–46 geographic isolation from healthcare facilities,45 financial costs of treatment45,47,48 and a lack of culturally appropriate care49 may have an impact on Māori and other indigenous populations accessing and receiving high-quality health care. Such adverse care experiences can result in disengagement from health care or delay in seeking care.50,51
