Abstract: Dunghutti Country is located within Australia’s number one ‘stroke hotspot’, with incidence almost double the national average. First Nations peoples are disproportionately affected by stroke, with higher incidence and hospitalization rates and a greater risk of dying compared to non-First Nations Australians. Early recognition of stroke symptoms is critical for people to access time-sensitive medical interventions, maximizing recovery potential. Whilst an internationally recognized F.A.S.T (Face, Arm, Speech, Time) message exists to promote rapid recognition of stroke symptoms, community awareness of F.A.S.T is limited. This project aimed to collaboratively design a culturally responsive F.A.S.T health message with and by First Nation’s peoples, thus increasing awareness of stroke symptoms, to improve response for seeking time-sensitive medical care. Guided by a qualitative participatory action methodology, and the use of cross-cultural Yarning as the method, this collaborative project involved six Dunghutti stroke survivors, a Dunghutti artist, a knowledge holder of local Dunghutti language, and a local occupational therapist/researcher, who reviewed the mainstream F.A.S.T health message and reimagined that message in a culturally relevant and meaningful way. Yarning allowed exploration of key themes, identifying three elements necessary to maximize the impact of First Nations health and well-being messaging. Elements included ensuring the health message (i) connects to Country, (ii) connects to understandings of health and well-being, and (iii) connects through relevant content, with First Nations peoples centred within the ideation, development, and message delivery processes. 2025-12-01T00:00:00Z https://mnclhd.intersearch.com.au/mnclhdjspui/handle/123456789/615 Title: Cultural Safety and Child Protection Responses in Hospitals: a Scoping Review Authors: Fleminton, T.; Lock, M.; Shipp, J.; Hartz, D.; Lonne, B.; Fraser, J. A. Abstract: The objective of this scoping review was to map the current practice and best evidence for embedding cultural safety in child protection responses for Aboriginal families in hospitals. Electronic databases were searched systematically and the reference lists examined. Efforts to reduce the risk of bias were made including using an inductive approach. Eight research papers were included following the exclusion of 25 papers for the final analysis. Three main themes in relation to what is necessary to embed cultural safety for Aboriginal families when child protection responses are raised in hospital were found. These were (a) relationships, (b) organisational processes and (c) culture. The analysis underscores the need for development of child protection strategies that focus on cultural safety rather than cultural competence alone. This provides some direction for policy and practice development in this field, and has also highlighted the deficiencies in evidence and urgent need for further research. 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z https://mnclhd.intersearch.com.au/mnclhdjspui/handle/123456789/614 Title: The Daalbirrwirr Gamambigu (Safe Children) Model: Embedding Cultural Safety in Child Protection Responses for Australian Aboriginal Children in Hospital Settings Authors: Flemington, T.; Fraser, J.; Gibbs, C.; Shipp, J.; Bryant, J.; Ryan, A.; Wijetilaka, D.; Marks, S.; Scarcella, M.; Tzioumi, D.; Ramanathan, S.; Clague, L.; Hatrz, D.; Lonne, B.; Ngiyampaa, M. L. Abstract: The aim of this paper is to describe the development of a model of care to embed cultural safety for Aboriginal children into paediatric hospital settings. The Daalbirrwirr Gamambigu (pronounced "Dahl-beer-weer gum-um-be-goo" in the Gumbaynggirr language means 'safe children') model encompasses child protection responses at clinical, managerial and organisational levels of health services. A review of scholarly articles and grey literature followed by qualitative interviews with Aboriginal health professionals formed the evidence base for the model, which then underwent rounds of consultation for cultural suitability and clinical utility. Culturally appropriate communication with children and their families using clinical yarning and a culturally adapted version of ISBAR (a mnemonic for Identify, Situation, Background, Assessment and Recommendation) for interprofessional communication is recommended. The model guides the development of a critical consciousness about cultural safety in health care settings, and privileges the cultural voices of many diverse Aboriginal peoples. When adapted appropriately for local clinical and cultural contexts, it will contribute to a patient journey experience of respect, dignity and empowerment.
