Download or read book Indigenous Peoples and Dementia written by Wendy Hulko and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2019-06-15 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dementia is on the rise around the world, and health organizations in Canada, the United States, and New Zealand are responding to the urgent need – voiced by communities and practitioners – for guidance on how best to address memory loss in Indigenous communities. This innovative volume responds to the call by bringing together, for the first time, studies and Indigenous teaching stories that address three key areas of concern: prevalence, causes, and public discourse; Indigenous perspectives on care and prevention; and culturally safe application of research to Elder care. Collectively, the contributors demonstrate that care must be grounded in collaborative research informed by Indigenous knowledge and worldviews.
Download or read book Gerontological Social Work in Action written by Wendy Hulko and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-06 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gerontological Social Work in Action introduces "anti-oppression gerontology" (AOG), a critical approach to social work with older adults, their families, and communities. AOG principles are applied to direct and indirect practice and a range of topics of relevance to social work practice in the context of a rapidly aging and increasingly diverse world. Weaving together stories from diverse older adults, theories, research, and practical tools, this unique textbook prompts social workers to think differently and push back against oppressive forces. It pays attention to issues, realities, and contexts that are largely absent in social work education and gerontological practice, including important developments in our understanding of age/ism; theories of aging and social work; sites and sectors of health and social care; managing risk and frailty; moral, ethical and legal questions about aging including medical assistance in dying; caregiving; dementia and citizenship; trauma; and much more. This textbook should be considered essential reading for social work students new to or seeking to specialize in aging, as well as those interested in the application of anti-oppressive principles to working with older adults and researching later life.

Download or read book Barriers to Culturally Safe Care for Indigenous Peoples written by Ashley Victoria Mary Wilkinson and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health inequity for Indigenous Peoples persists on a global scale, due to the ongoing impacts of colonization. Racism, power dynamics, and health professionals with limited understanding of the historical context and lived realities of Indigenous Peoples are among the many factors which create unsafe spaces in health care environments (Turpel et al., 2020; Browne, 2017; Jacklin et al., 2017; Goodman et al., 2017). These unsafe spaces foster unsafe care which undermines the quality of care that Indigenous Peoples receive, with detrimental outcomes. Cultural safety is a health concept originating in New Zealand (and adopted in many other countries such as Australia and Canada) that emphasizes provider reflexivity, facilitates care that is free from discrimination, racism and prejudice, and empowers Indigenous patients to define the quality of the care they receive. There is a growing body of research which suggests that culturally safe care could have a meaningful impact on health experiences of Indigenous Peoples when embedded into practice (Churchill et al., 2020), and supports the idea of cultural safety being incorporated into healthcare environments (Goodman et al., 2017; Wesche, 2013; Schill & Caxaj, 2019). However, cultural safety has not been widely implemented at an organizational or systemic level within the health sector, and remains absent from health policy, despite calls for its implementation (Truth and Reconciliation Commission, 2015).

Download or read book Indigenous Cultures and Mental Health Counselling written by Suzanne L. Stewart and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-08-12 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North America’s Indigenous population is a vulnerable group, with specific psychological and healing needs that are not widely met in the mental health care system. Indigenous peoples face certain historical, cultural-linguistic and socioeconomic barriers to mental health care access that government, health care organizations and social agencies must work to overcome. This volume examines ways Indigenous healing practices can complement Western psychological service to meet the needs of Indigenous peoples through traditional cultural concepts. Bringing together leading experts in the fields of Aboriginal mental health and psychology, it provides data and models of Indigenous cultural practices in psychology that are successful with Indigenous peoples. It considers Indigenous epistemologies in applied psychology and research methodology, and informs government policy on mental health service for these populations.
Download or read book Moving Towards Cultural Safety in Mental Health and Addictions Contracting for Urban Indigenous Peoples written by Viviane Josewski and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to the inequities in health and health care that Indigenous communities continue to experience, governments in many countries have used contracting as a policy mechanism to improve access to culturally safe health services. Case studies from New Zealand, Australia and Canada demonstrate the equity-promoting potential of contracting-out interventions within the Indigenous primary health care (PHC) sector. At the same time, these studies have heightened concerns about the exigencies of contract reform within increasingly neo-liberal climates. To foster accountability for health equity, more needs to be known about how current contractual arrangements, intended to support Indigenous community-based systems of care, actually fit with the evolving needs, priorities and contexts of Indigenous communities in Canada. In this project, I use a qualitative design and ethnographic methods to examine urban Indigenous Providers' experiences with contracting for culturally safe mental health and addictions care within one Canadian province, British Columbia (BC). Critical theoretical perspectives and input from Indigenous advisors informed my inquiry. In addition to a critical policy review, I conducted in-depth interviews with Indigenous and non-Indigenous people within seven Indigenous and one non-Indigenous provider organizations (n=23), including senior administrators, managers and mental health care providers. I also interviewed policy and funding decision-makers and contract managers in the area of Indigenous mental health (n=10). Examining contracting for culturally safe mental health and addictions care from the perspective of urban Indigenous Providers in BC sheds light on the ways in which current funding structures, policies and contractual approaches mediate wider ideological constraints and impinge, often inadvertently, upon organizations' capacities to develop and effectively deliver mental health care services that safely meet the intersecting needs of their communities. Neo-liberalism, the ongoing dominance of biomedicine within the broader health care system, the legacy of colonialism, race, gender and class intersect to simultaneously reproduce, reinforce and obscure colonial and neo-colonial patterns within contractual relationships, mental health programming and care. These findings have important policy implications for funders and support the call for an alternative framework to contracting that articulates equity as an explicit dimension of accountability and Indigenous culturally safe mental health and addictions care.

Download or read book An Examination of Factors Influencing Equitable Access to Dementia Care and Support Programs Among Migrants and Refugees Living with Dementia written by Winnie Sun and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada is working on improving the diagnosis and treatment of Canadians with cognitive impairment and promoting living well with dementia. Despite the availability of support network, Canadians living with dementia are identified to commonly experience social isolation and exclusion. This issue is particularly significant among migrants and refugees, for whom access to dementia care and support programs are found to be significantly less than the non-migrated Canadians. The purpose of this critical analysis is to examine the existing literature related to the sociocultural factors that contribute to the access of dementia care and support programs by persons with dementia. Specifically, a literature review was conducted to examine the barriers and facilitating factors that influence equitable access to dementia care and support programs among migrants and refugees. A thematic analysis was conducted to identify the following four major themes: (1) stigma, (2) culturally preferred coping strategies, (3) misconceptions regarding aging and dementia, and (4) language barriers.. This review identifies the need for future research to explore the key barriers faced by migrants and refugees with dementia in accessing timely and appropriate dementia care and support programs, as well as developing equitable programs and culturally sensitive services that adequately address their needs.

Download or read book Determinants of Indigenous Peoples Health written by Sarah De Leeuw and published by Canadian Scholars’ Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The health disparities affecting Indigenous peoples in Canada might well be understood as a national epidemic. Although progress has been made in the last decade towards both understanding and ameliorating Indigenous health inequalities, very little research or writing has expanded a social determinants of health framework to account for the unique histories and present realities of Indigenous peoples in this country. This timely edited collection addresses this significant knowledge gap, exploring the ways that multiple health determinants beyond the social-from colonialism to geography, from economy to biology-converge to impact the health status of Indigenous peoples in Canada. This unique collection, comprised largely of contributions by Indigenous authors, offers the voices and expertise of First Nations, Inuit, and Metis writers from across Canada. The multitude of health determinants of Indigenous peoples are considered in a selection of chapters that range from scholarly papers by research experts in the field, to reflective essays by Indigenous leaders. Appropriate throughout a range of disciplines, including Health Studies, Indigenous Studies, Public and Population Health, Community Health Sciences, Medicine, Nursing, and Social Work, this engaging text broadens the social determinants of health framework to better understand health inequality. Most importantly, it does so by placing front and center the voices and experiences of Indigenous peoples.
Download or read book Exploring Traditional Roles of First Nation Older Adults to Promote the Quality of Life for Those Experiencing Alzheimer s Disease and Related Dementia s written by Ashley Cornect-Benoit and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of Alzheimer's disease and related dementia's (ADRD) in Indigenous populations across Canada is a rising concern as prevalence rates exceed those of non- Indigenous populations. Culturally appropriate approaches to address the increased prevalence of ADRD are guided by the Indigenous Wholistic Theory and the Intergenerativity Model. Community-based participatory action research led by interviews, focus groups and program observations aid in identifying barriers and facilitators of success for intergenerational social engagements in the Anishinaabe community of Wikwemikong, Ontario. A qualitative thematic analysis guides future recommendations for programming opportunities to foster traditional roles of older First Nation adults and intergenerational relationships. This project results in culturally appropriate suggestions to improve healthy brain aging in older populations through increased social interactions with youth and the nurturing of traditional roles. The results of this study are relevant to other Indigenous communities who may wish to adopt the framework to their own community context.
