Abstract

Purpose: Providing culturally safe speech-language pathology services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with acquired communication disorders (ACDs) may be challenging for non-Indigenous speech-language pathologists (SLPs). Indigenous Health Liaison Officers (IHLOs) may share common histories and culture with patients, and provide valuable insights about cultural safety. The study aim was to explore IHLOs' experiences of working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults post-stroke or traumatic brain injury (TBI), and with the SLPs who provide services to these peoples.

Method: Using an interpretive description collaborative research design informed by culturally responsive principles, IHLOs (n = 7) participated in interviews facilitated by Aboriginal researchers and the principal investigator. Data were analysed using qualitative content analysis, informed by perspectives of Aboriginal researchers.

Result: Two themes, Connection and Spirit and Emotion, and six interdependent categories described how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have, and need, strong connections to family, country, health professionals, and ACD practices. Without these connections, patients' wellbeing may be deeply affected.

Conclusion: SLPs must collaborate with IHLOs and patients' family members and draw on their cultural knowledge, expertise, and guidance when working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and ensure connections are created. These connections contribute to culturally safe and responsive speech-language pathology practice.

"合作......我无法强调它有多重要":原住民健康联络官与言语病理学家以及患有中风和创伤性脑损伤的原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民合作的感悟。
目的:为患有获得性交流障碍(ACD)的土著居民和托雷斯海峡岛民提供文化安全的言语病理服务,对于非土著言语病理学家(SLP)来说可能具有挑战性。原住民健康联络官(IHLOs)可能与患者有着共同的历史和文化,并能提供有关文化安全的宝贵见解。本研究旨在探讨 IHLOs 与中风后或创伤性脑损伤(TBI)后的土著居民和托雷斯海峡岛民成年人以及为这些人群提供服务的 SLPs 的合作经验:采用解释性描述合作研究设计,并遵循文化响应原则,IHLOs(n = 7)参加了由原住民研究人员和主要研究人员主持的访谈。数据采用定性内容分析法进行分析,并参考了原住民研究人员的观点:结果:"联系 "和 "精神与情感 "这两个主题以及六个相互依存的类别描述了原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民如何与家庭、国家、医疗专业人员和 ACD 实践建立并需要紧密联系。如果没有这些联系,患者的福祉可能会受到严重影响:在与土著居民和托雷斯海峡岛民合作时,SLP 必须与 IHLO 和患者家属合作,并利用他们的文化知识、专业知识和指导,确保建立联系。这些联系有助于在文化上安全和有针对性的言语病理学实践。
