Improving Culturally Appropriate Care for Indigenous Women and Their Families During the Birthing/Delivery Experience
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Current literature highlights culturally appropriate care as a useful tool in reducing negative health outcomes caused by systemic racism in healthcare. This research adds to the literature of ways to enhance culturally appropriate care to promote positive birthing/delivery experiences for Indigenous (First Nation, Métis, and Inuit) women and their families. This study is strength-based and aims to provide meaningful suggestions to augment culturally safe care as a response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Calls to Action. Six participants responded to an online survey and shared what positive actions could enhance a culturally safe birth. The survey data was analyzed using inductive thematic analysis and descriptive statistical analysis. The results are discussed under three themes: 1) Access to Cultural Supports; 2) Relationships with Healthcare Providers; and 3) Examples of Harmful Nursing Practice. Based on the participant responses, it is suggested that respect, active allyship, enhanced cultural safety education, and integration of Indigenous healing practices into the Canadian healthcare system will support the delivery of culturally appropriate care. The data supports cultural safety as an important aspect of the birthing experience.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
