Abstract

Healthy parenting is critical to the health of children and is often supported by prenatal and parenting programs. While numerous parenting programs exist for Indigenous families with young children, most do not meet the needs of men or Two-Spirit people. Participation of Indigenous fathers is typically low, and little is known about how service providers can engage Two-Spirit parents. This study aims to understand the experiences of service providers who deliver programming for expectant and parenting Indigenous fathers and Two-Spirit people to better engage parents in supportive programming that more effectively meet their needs to be successful parents. A community-led approach, along with Thorne's Interpretive Description methodology and the Two-Eyed Seeing framework, was used to understand the experiences of service providers delivering programs. Interviews and discussion groups were used to collect data concurrently with a collaborative approach to analysis. Findings are presented in a thematic summary comprised of four themes: (1) Relationality; (2) Role as Teacher; (3) Advocacy; and (4) Supporting Healing. The findings suggest that service providers should first build a trusting relationship with parents, provide activities, and use teaching strategies that more effectively engage men and Two-Spirit people in learning, while using a strengths-based and equitable approach. Findings demonstrate an urgent need to recruit men and Two-Spirit people as facilitators within organizations to deliver programming that is reflective of the clients they seek to serve.

服务提供者与原住民父亲和双灵父母在育儿计划中的经验:解释性描述。
健康的父母对孩子的健康至关重要,通常得到产前和育儿计划的支持。虽然有许多针对有小孩的土著家庭的育儿计划,但大多数都不能满足男性或双灵人的需求。土著父亲的参与度通常很低,而且人们对服务提供者如何吸引双灵父母知之甚少。本研究旨在了解为土著父亲和双灵族提供计划的服务提供者的经验,以更好地让父母参与支持计划,更有效地满足他们成为成功父母的需求。以社区为主导的方法,连同索恩的解释性描述方法和双眼观察框架,被用来了解服务提供商提供项目的经验。访谈和讨论组用于收集数据,同时采用协作方法进行分析。研究结果在由四个主题组成的专题摘要中提出:(1)相关性;(2)教师角色;(3)宣传;(4)辅助治疗。研究结果表明,服务提供者首先应该与家长建立信任关系,提供活动,并使用教学策略,更有效地吸引男性和双灵人学习,同时采用基于优势和公平的方法。调查结果表明,迫切需要在组织内招募男性和双灵人士作为辅导员,以提供反映他们寻求服务的客户的方案。
