Abstract

Background Many Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples are exposed to risk factors for cognitive impairment. However, culturally appropriate methods for identifying potential cognitive impairment are lacking. This paper reports on the development of a screen and interview protocol designed to flag possible cognitive impairments and psychosocial disability in Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander adults over the age of 16years. Methods The Guddi Way screen includes items relating to cognition and mental functions across multiple cognitive domains. The screen is straightforward, brief, and able to be administered by non-clinicians with training. Results Early results suggest the Guddi Way screen is reliable and culturally acceptable, and correctly flags cognitive dysfunction among Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander adults. Conclusions The screen shows promise as a culturally appropriate and culturally developed method to identify the possibility of cognitive impairments and psychosocial disability in Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander adults. A flag on the Guddi Way screen indicates the need for referral to an experienced neuropsychologist or neuropsychiatrist for further assessment and can also assist in guiding support services.

为土著居民和/或托雷斯海峡岛民制定认知筛查方案：Guddi Way 筛查。

背景许多原住民和/或托雷斯海峡岛民都面临着认知障碍的风险因素。然而，目前还缺乏适合当地文化的方法来识别潜在的认知障碍。本文报告了一种筛查和访谈方案的开发情况，该方案旨在标记 16 岁以上土著居民和/或托雷斯海峡岛民成年人可能存在的认知障碍和社会心理残疾。方法 Guddi Way 筛查包括与多个认知领域的认知和心理功能有关的项目。该筛查简单明了，经过培训的非临床医生也能进行操作。结果早期结果表明，Guddi Way 筛选结果可靠，文化上可接受，能正确显示原住民和/或托雷斯海峡岛民成年人的认知功能障碍。结论 Guddi Way 筛选是一种适合当地文化并由当地文化开发的方法，可用于识别土著居民和/或托雷斯海峡岛民成年人认知障碍和社会心理残疾的可能性。如果在 Guddi Way 筛选中出现标记，则表明需要转诊至经验丰富的神经心理学家或神经精神病学家进行进一步评估，同时也有助于指导支持服务。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
