Pilot Feasibility Study: Nurses' Preparedness to Care for Racialized Gender-Diverse People

Melisek, Julia 15 May 2023 (has links)
The nursing profession perpetuates an outdated model that fails to address the health concerns of racialized gender-diverse people. Evidence supports that this population experiences poorer health outcomes, care-avoiding habits, and incompetent healthcare providers. A literature review illuminated gaps in the nursing lens when considering gender-diverse identities outside of Whiteness. An intersectionality framework and cultural humility were used to explore the contexts in which nurses provide care. To fill this knowledge gap, the proposed research question was: How prepared are nurses to provide care to racialized gender-diverse people? A questionnaire was developed by modifying three pre-existing instruments. The online questionnaire served as a pilot feasibility study to collect preliminary baseline descriptive cross-sectional data about Ontario nurses' training, education, knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about racialized gender-diverse people. Findings indicated potential gaps in training and education that may affect racialized gender-diverse peoples' healthcare. Recommendations are provided for future research and interventions.

Counselors' Reflections on Their Experiences in Preparation to Counsel Adult Refugee Clients

Lackey, Bethany Ann 01 February 2021 (has links)
Millions of people around the world have fled their home countries in search of refuge, and there is a great likelihood they experience traumatizing events in their journeys to safety. Refugees are screened for mental health issues in the resettlement process in the United States, and there is a large body of established research regarding refugee mental health needs and strengths. However, far less is known about counseling refugees, and even less so about counselors working with the population. This dissertation study sought counselors' reflections on their experiences, both personal and professional, they feel help prepare them to see refugee clients. Four post-masters counselors participated in the video interviews. Participants were diverse (3 women, 4 ethnicities, counseling refugees from all areas of the world). Minimum criteria was having three adult refugee clients for a minimum of three sessions each. Four main themes emerged as result of analysis: 1) Trauma-informed, 2) Cultural competence and humility, 3) Counselor determination, and 4) Integration of Self. Participants specifically identified trauma-informed practices, cultural competence, and cultural humility as integral parts of necessary training for counselors to see this population. Counselors in this study found they were ill-prepared when they began seeing refugees and had to overcome obstacles to provide needed therapy. Results show a gap between what is known about refugees in academic literature and counselors' knowledge of the population which highlights the need for accessible curriculum and training on refugee issues as well as best practices for serving refugee clients. Implications for counselors, counselor educators, and future research are shared. / Doctor of Philosophy / People who have refugee status often struggle to meet basic needs upon resettlement. They have experienced potentially traumatizing events in their journeys, and their mental health needs are not often met.

Oppression in Social Work Education: How Do Oppression and Privilege Impact Social Work Educators' Pedagogy?

Rudd, Stephanie Ellen 09 1900 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Social work has deep roots in and a commitment to social justice and eliminating and addressing the oppression of people of diverse backgrounds. This commitment is based on the National Association of Social Work 2021 Code of Ethics. In order for social workers to learn how to ethically challenge social injustice with cultural humility, they need to develop a high level of self-awareness, or critical consciousness (Freire, 2003) and commitment to marginalized groups. This makes the role of a social work educator a critical one. Social work educators have their own biases and experiences of oppression and privilege. In order to support and prepare social work students with the skills of self-awareness and cultural humility, the educator must analyze their pedagogy, such as the inclusion of Black, Indigenous, and People of color (BIPOC) authors, the use of open dialogue, and engagement in creating and supporting brave spaces, while accurately describing social work history. Specifically, social work educators need to be aware of their social positioning in which oppression and/or privilege shape their realities, since this impacts their sense of self and teaching practices. This proposal seeks to apply qualitative research methods to investigate whether social work educators' social positioning and the associated privilege or oppressive experiences are important to understand their pedagogical and instructional practices/strategies relative to antiracism.

The cultural humility program: ensuring awareness, training, and effort as an occupational therapy practitioner

Chung, Nari 05 May 2023 (has links)
Culturally diverse clients often face barriers to accessing and using health and education services, which may affect the clients’ performance outcomes and impact the quality of services. These barriers include practitioners’ insufficient cultural competence and humility and an ineffective health care system. The Cultural Humility program aims to train and educate occupational therapy practitioners to gain confidence and improve their cultural humility and practical communication skills to maintain, establish, and manage therapeutic relationships. The program duration will be twelve 2-hour biweekly sessions over 6 months, in person at clinical settings or on a virtual platform. The program includes learning modules, such as lectures, simulation or video modeling, and discussion sessions with brain-based learning for occupational therapy practitioners. The program will provide meaningful opportunities for practitioners to reflect on their practice attitudes, gain confidence, change their mindsets, and learn practical communication skills for use with clients from various cultural backgrounds. The aim of the Cultural Humility program is to apply these practical techniques related to cultural humility, bringing synergy and authenticity to practitioners’ daily practice, and improving their clients’ performance and outcomes.

I AM. Intercultural Advocacy and Mentoring Program: increasing occupational therapy practitioners' advocacy skills in collaboration with Latinx families with young children

Nascimento, Jennifer 05 May 2023 (has links)
Public school closures and the provision of occupational therapy services during the COVID-19 pandemic revealed inequities and barriers that affect Latinx families’ and children’s access to resources. In Massachusetts, many students receiving occupational therapy services may have missed mandated and necessary occupational therapy services due to systemic barriers and the lack of skills to advocate for their needs. Occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) may have lacked the self-efficacy and ability to facilitate the families’ advocacy. Culturally appropriate evidence-based interventions are needed to serve Latinx families and their children and prevent them from being underserved. A literature review identified that OTPs might not have the necessary skills to work effectively with culturally diverse groups. This skills gap reduces the OTPs’ ability to provide culturally appropriate interventions and holistic care to Latinx children and their families. A proposed solution to this problem is the 6-month, theory- and evidence-based I AM. Intercultural Advocacy and Mentoring Program: Increasing Occupational Therapy Practitioners’ Advocacy Skills in Collaboration With Latinx Families With Young Children for OTPs who work with Latinx families and children. The program aims to promote OTPs’ self-efficacy, cultural humility, and rapport- and trust-building skills. The I AM Program will ensure professionals working with Latinx families and children practice cultural humility, thus enhancing services for the client and building strong, trusting relationships and thriving communities.

Intersections Between Violence and Health Promotion Among Indigenous Women Living in Canada

Williams, Julie 07 May 2019 (has links)
Violence against Indigenous women is a major public health concern worldwide and Canada is no exception. Multiple forms of violence inform the broader context of violence against Indigenous women. Nurses are likely to encounter Indigenous women in a variety of settings, but evidence suggests that nurses may lack understandings of violence. This thesis explored the following question: How does extant qualitative research conducted in Canada, contribute to understanding the health and wellbeing of First Nations, Métis and Inuit (Indigenous) women who have experienced violence? During the development of this thesis, significant gaps were highlighted including underrepresentation of Inuit women in the literature, limited focus on health promotion, and lack of methodological approaches to systematic reviews that were participatory and inclusive of the community. Therefore, a secondary aim of this thesis was to privilege perspectives of Inuit women and their communities, by developing a study protocol for a collaborative and community centered approach to reviewing and assessing the extant literature. A configurative and inductive approach based on thematic synthesis was used to systematically search, retrieve, analyze and synthesize extant literature. Post-colonial feminist theory and intersectionality were used as theoretical lenses to emphasize intersections between multiple forms of violence and locate the problem within the broader context of colonization and oppression. Sixteen studies were included in this review, fifteen qualitative and one mixed methods study. Four themes with subthemes emerged based on analysis and synthesis of findings in the included studies: 1) ruptured connections between family and home, 2) that emptiness… my spirit being removed, 3) seeking help and feeling unheard, and 4) a core no one can touch. These themes represent interconnected pathways that influenced health among Indigenous women, and have implications for healthy public policy, clinical practice, and nursing education.

A Heuristic Exploration of the Intersections of Social Justice Theory, Community Art Therapy, and Cultural Humility

Ordway, Beth 01 May 2018 (has links)
This research adopts a heuristic method of inquiry to explore the intersections of social justice theory, cultural humility, and community art therapy to strengthen both the internal awareness and art therapy practices of the researcher. Data was collected over a structured eight-week period through art-making and reflective writing. Six core themes were extrapolated from the data, which were then applied to the researcher’s experience with a community-based art therapy engagement. Through this process of investigating authentic self-reflection and deep consideration for community-based applications, the researcher illuminated personal biases, beliefs, and assumptions to better understand personal and societal implications of the adoption of a more culturally humble art therapy practice.

Examining Cultural Humility and Intersectionality in Mental Health Treatment

Herrera-Spinelli, Sandra Y. 01 January 2019 (has links)
Cultural awareness is an ethical standard in the social work profession and, as the diversity in the United States continues to grow, it is a social work practice problem when cultural awareness is not implemented in mental health settings. The National Association of Social Workers revised the cultural awareness standards to include cultural humility and intersectionality as practice indicators. The purpose of this action research study was to examine how clinical social workers demonstrated cultural humility and intersectionality in mental health settings. Person-centered theory guided this study and a total of 17 clinical social workers in New Mexico participated in in-depth interviews to give examples of clinical practice behaviors that demonstrated cultural humility and intersectionality. Thematic analysis was used to identify common themes, which included (a) genuine interest in the client's culture, (b) therapist congruence, (c) unconditional positive regard, and (d) empathic understanding. The implications of this study for social work practice and social change are that findings could contribute to improved cultural awareness in mental health settings and decrease mental health disparities among minorities. Recommendations include creating continuing education, mentoring minority college students on their career path in mental health, and developing a mental health business model that integrates cultural awareness.

Cultural Humility Art-Based Training in the Helping Professions

Al-Taan, Tara, Figueroa, Silvia, Park, Elizabeth, Pascua, Beverly, Sosna, Sachi, Spaltro, Serap, Sweeney, Allison 01 April 2020 (has links)
There has been a lack of training and implementation of cultural humility in the helping professions. Clinician’s awareness of their own biases, assumptions, and cultural identities is critical when working with individuals who each have their own array of cultural identities. The following research examined the efficacy of cultural humility art-based training courses through surveys and examining the art experiential activity that was provided. The purpose of this research was to determine whether cultural humility art-based training would effectively increase mental health practitioners’ comfort, ability, and confidence in addressing culturally sensitive issues in their clinical work. The training focused on introducing the tenets of cultural humility with art directives to help participants reflect on their cultural identity. 47 Participants completed surveys that were analyzed in addition to their art in order to gain qualitative data. The data suggests that cultural humility art-based training effectively increased participant’s comfort, ability, and confidence in practicing cultural humility in their work with clients/patients and colleagues. More training and research are needed to generalize findings and determine their longevity.
