Transcultural Health Practices of Emergency Nurses Working With Indigenous Peoples: A Descriptive Study

Knowledge Translation of Science Advances Into Emergency Nursing Practice With the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance Framework

“…Whereas Wood et al 30 demonstrate the effectiveness of tailoring discharge instructions with video to improve knowledge for Spanish-speaking caregivers, other recently published evidence does not support the view that general video discharge instructions for acute otitis media, for example, increase caregiver knowledge. 31 Furthermore, in this issue of JEN, Leclerc 12 identifies the culturally contextual and relevant need for emergency nursing education in caring for indigenous patients. Finally, the adoption domain in the RE-AIM Framework includes an evaluation of who delivered the intervention.…”

“…The themes for this issue include ED flow and crowding, 1,2 critical care, 1,3-8 vascular emergencies, 6,7,9,10 and cultural or organizational patient-centered care. 11,12 Emergency nurses strive to develop and implement evidence-based interventions, which are often pragmatic interventions. Moreover, JEN readers practice in widely diverse emergency settings.…”

A Concept Analysis of Cultural Appreciation in Addressing the Wholistic Health Needs of Indigenous People

“…Jongen et al, (2018) & Yaphe et al, (2019 explain addressing practitioner biases is not easy and very discomforting but necessary. Specific training for nursing staff can be executed through blended courses in person and online through education session interventions, clinical case studies, or local knowledge sharing from Indigenous people (Leclerc et al, 2020).…”

Health Disparities and Emergency Nursing

“…The civic engagement and public dialogue during the coronavirus disease pandemic has guided us to a long overdue and poignant focus on the need for individual, interpersonal, community, and societal antiracism commitments because racism has been an unjust and centurieslong determinant of health disparities. Although there are several racial disparities that require attention in emergency nursing, such as indigenous peoples' health, 3 the following discussion applies the NIMHD Research Framework to Black or African American health disparities. Although those who identify their race as Black or African American may be more likely to share particular genetic, 4 hereditary, or biological traits (such as sickle cell trait) 5 than those with other racial identities, we also know that race is largely a social/contextual, and not biological, idea from a vast complexity of human ancestries, social structures, racial assignments, and internalized identities.…”
