Abstract

Adopting strength-based approaches reinstate power and control to Aboriginal communities, while nurturing empowerment and decision making in the design and delivery of culturally contextualised approaches to addressing Aboriginal health and wellbeing. Aboriginal health policy and practice continues to address Aboriginal child health and wellbeing from a whole-of-population deficit discourse, further exacerbating Aboriginal disadvantage for Aboriginal children and young people. Furthermore, population health level data provides an opportunity to understand the complexities of health and wellbeing for urban Aboriginal children and young people yet such information is rarely documented. This paper seeks to discuss the development of multi-disciplinary community-based Aboriginal child health services in an urban community using strengths-based principles. We highlight the opportunities and challenges in addressing Aboriginal child health over a ten-year period, and demonstrate that access to culturally safe, resilience-building services can produce measurable improvements in health seeking behaviour, maternal health and early intervention. Within, we draw on holistic frameworks to demonstrate that optimal outcomes can be achieved through integrated interdisciplinary models of care that are responsive to the needs of the local community, understand the social determinants of health and build resilience – all critically important to addressing Aboriginal child health and wellbeing
提供土著社区儿童健康服务的基于实力的方法
采用以力量为基础的方法,恢复原住民社区的权力和控制,同时在设计和实施符合文化背景的方法来解决原住民健康和福祉问题时,培养赋权和决策能力。原住民健康政策和实践继续从整个人口的赤字论述出发来解决原住民儿童的健康和福祉问题,进一步加剧了原住民儿童和青少年的劣势。此外,人口健康水平数据为了解城市原住民儿童和青少年健康和福祉的复杂性提供了机会,但此类信息却很少被记录下来。本文旨在讨论一个城市社区利用基于优势的原则发展以社区为基础的多学科土著儿童健康服务的情况。我们强调了十年间解决原住民儿童健康问题所面临的机遇和挑战,并证明了获得文化上安全、建立复原力的服务可以在求医行为、孕产妇健康和早期干预方面产生可衡量的改善。在此过程中,我们借鉴了整体框架,以证明通过跨学科的综合护理模式可以取得最佳成果,这种模式能够满足当地社区的需求,了解健康的社会决定因素并培养复原力--所有这些对于解决原住民儿童的健康和福祉问题都至关重要
