Finding a way without getting lost in translation: Integrating cultural safety within French-Canadian Healthcare

Turnbull, T., Allard, É., & Blanchet Garneau, A.
Pecha Kucha Presentation
Monday 9 December, 11:03am

Purpose: Despite being recognized as a fundamental human right, access to quality healthcare for terminally ill and dying Indigenous Peoples remains inadequate. In Québec, Canada, the government fails to address the disparities faced by the eleven Indigenous Nations under its control. This issue is further exacerbated by recent debates on systemic racism, which compound the challenges of integrating culturally safe palliative care within the French-Canadian healthcare system.

 

Methods: This scoping review will adopt an indigenized approach to map the current state of knowledge on culturally safe palliative care for Indigenous Peoples by critically examining the methodologies utilized in the existing literature. The goal of this study is to ultimately inform the development of a culturally safe palliative care models that not only aligns with the needs and values of Indigenous peoples, but that also empowers Indigenous communities.  

 

Results: As this scoping review will still be in progress, the presentation will focus on the process and the insights gained thus far.

​

Conclusions: This presentation seeks to bridge epistemological divides by exploring the intersecting power dynamics, challenges, and reflections involved in integrating Indigenous paradigms into research, design and French academia.
