A community-based participatory research approach was adapted to honour nêhiyaw ways of knowing. Group-led and developed support activities for fathers and men took place from August 2021 to January 2023, with data gathered from Wisdom Circles, meeting minutes, reflexive journals, photos, implementation notes, and community reports. Data analysis was narrative, relational, and non-linear. Knowledge sharing efforts aimed to: 1) explore lessons from co-developing support activities; 2) understand the significance of gathering in safe and healthy ways; and 3) examine the impacts of support on members. The group's development was rooted in mutual generosity and overcoming institutional inequities to offer meaningful supports. This resulted in healthy ways of gathering and supporting one another through relational connections; learning from and identifying with one another; and breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma through cultural connections, sharing, and expressions of love. Experiential and pressure-free activities contributed to a sense of belonging, positivity, and collective ownership, and supported participants through life difficulties. The success and sustainability of the group relied on transcending Western academic approaches to embrace community ways of knowing and relationality.","PeriodicalId":13930,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Circumpolar Health","volume":"84 1","pages":"2506258"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12107637/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144132350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interviews with healthcare staff from all regions were carried out and analysed within a hermeneutic-phenomenological approach. Although better cohesion of healthcare and improved communication across health units was experienced, lack of support, training, and high staff turnover overloaded the permanent staff leading to staff flight and increased use of short-term health workers. Following a need among the population, health workers call for increased focus on health promotion. They request leadership that includes local knowledge and skills to prioritise, organise and develop culturally safe healthcare, based also on the perspectives of service users. Greenland has dedicated health workers holding local knowledge of significance for care and treatment. Prioritisation of health promotion is considered necessary and satisfactory but must be supported by strategic leadership. Further, a satisfactory work-life seems closely related to recruitment and retention.","PeriodicalId":13930,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Circumpolar Health","volume":"84 1","pages":"2506239"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12123956/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144119687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study population comprised 104 patients (68 males and 36 females) with a mean age of 40 years. More than 80% were daily smokers, and 68% had harmful use of cannabis. More than half had dyslipidemia (any imbalance in lipids), while over a quarter were classified as obese with body mass index of 30 kg/m2 or higher. Eighteen percent had hypertension, and six percent suffered from diabetes. This study revealed a notable prevalence of risk factors for somatic diseases, particularly smoking and cannabis use among patients with schizophrenia in Nuuk, indicating that a high prevalence of somatic diseases might be expected as the population gets older and the risk of developing somatic diseases becomes greater.

Most metals differed significantly between mothers and fathers, while few also differed between residential towns. Several metals correlated significantly with marine food intake and socio-economic factors, but the direction of the correlations varied. Traditional marine food intake was associated positively with Se, As and Hg.

A retrospective analysis was conducted on 50 adults (29 Inuit and 21 European) who underwent standard trauma CT scans. Measurements focused on skeletal muscle index (SMI), various fat indices, and densities at the third lumbar vertebra level, analyzed using the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test and multiple linear regression. Inuit women showed larger fat tissue indices and lower muscle and fat densities than European women. Differences in men were less pronouncehd, with only Intramuscular fat density being lower among Inuit men. Regression indicated that SMI was higher among men, and skeletal muscle density decreased with Inuit ethnicity and age, while visceral fat index was positively associated with age.
