Abstract

Introduction. Occupational therapy (OT), a profession deeply entrenched in colonial ideologies, also holds the potential to re-imagine healthcare in collaboration with Indigenous communities. Purpose. This review aims to (1) identify decolonizing practices in OT that can be applied at micro, meso, and macro levels of service delivery and (2) elevate the voices and viewpoints of Indigenous scholars. Method. I conducted a literature review based on a decolonized and relationship-focused approach, using the work of Tynan and Bishop. Seventeen articles were reviewed and guided by moss bag teachings. Findings. By encouraging actions people can do to enact decolonization practices, we hope that non-Indigenous people can critically think about ways in which to challenge coloniality and enact meaningful, relational, and respectful relationships. (1) micro: Before building relationships, occupational therapists need to understand their work environment to create meaningful connections and improve service delivery. (2) meso: occupational therapists in leadership should support Indigenous occupational therapists and fairly compensate them to respect Indigenous knowledge genuinely. (3) macro: occupational therapists involved in creating knowledge must recognize and promote Indigenous knowledge to benefit Indigenous OT students and communities. This paper is not meant to be a prescriptive "what not to do" as this varies across each unique situation. Conclusion. Effective actions must be implemented at all levels of service provision, recognizing that all clinicians, researchers, and educators are urged to transform and challenge the normative and colonial status quo ingrained in the OT profession.

拥抱苔藓袋培育:走向非殖民化的职业治疗和研究的一步。
介绍。职业治疗(OT)是一种深深植根于殖民意识形态的职业,也有可能与土著社区合作重新构想医疗保健。目的。本综述旨在(1)确定可应用于微观、中观和宏观服务提供层面的OT非殖民化实践;(2)提升土著学者的声音和观点。方法。我利用泰南和毕晓普的作品,以非殖民化和以关系为中心的方法为基础,进行了一次文献综述。以苔袋教学为指导,回顾了17篇文章。发现。通过鼓励人们采取行动来实施非殖民化做法,我们希望非土著人民能够批判性地思考挑战殖民主义的方法,并建立有意义的、相互关系和尊重的关系。(1)微观:在建立关系之前,职业治疗师需要了解他们的工作环境,以建立有意义的联系并改善服务提供。(2)中观:领导职业治疗师应支持原住民职业治疗师,并给予他们公平的补偿,以真正尊重原住民知识。(3)宏观层面:参与创造知识的职业治疗师必须承认并促进土著知识,以造福土著OT学生和社区。这篇文章并不是要规定“什么不该做”,因为这在每个独特的情况下都是不同的。结论。有效的行动必须在服务提供的所有层面上实施,认识到所有临床医生、研究人员和教育工作者都被敦促改变和挑战在OT专业中根深蒂固的规范和殖民现状。
