“…For instance, family, spouses, and community support all played important roles in motivating women to participate in early breast cancer screening, and enabled adherence to clinical appointments. These findings can be used to promote transcultural nursing training about the importance of working with tribal communities in context of their interconnected relations and social networks (Becker & Foxall, 2006; Haozous, Eschiti, Lauderdale, Hill, & Amos, 2010; Weiner, Burhansstipanov, Krebs, & Restivo, 2005). …”

Factors That Influence Mammography Use Among Older American Indian and Alaska Native Women

et al. 2014

American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) women have relatively high breast-cancer mortality rates despite the availability of free or low-cost screening. Purpose This qualitative study explored issues that influence the participation of older AIAN women in mammography screening through tribally directed National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Programs (NBCCEDP). Methods We interviewed staff (n=12) representing five tribal NBCCEDP and conducted four focus groups with AIAN women ages 50 to 80 years (n = 33). Results Our analysis identified four main areas of factors that predispose, enable, or reinforce decisions around mammography: financial issues and personal investments, program characteristics including direct services and education, access issues such as transportation, and comfort zone topics that include cultural or community-wide norms regarding cancer prevention. Conclusion This study has implications for nurse education and training on delivering effective mammography services and preventive cancer outreach and education programs in AIAN communities.

“…The talking circle is a tribal method of group information sharing and discussion, with a focus on cooperation within the group. A talisman is often used to denote the speaker at any given time (Haozous et al, 2010). Lavallée (2009) utilized a Sharing Circle method, which is similar to a focus group method in that participants are gathered together to discuss the research topic for the purpose of data collection.…”

Indigenous communities and federal funding agencies in Canada have developed policy for ethical research with Indigenous Peoples. Indigenous scholars and communities have begun to expand the body of research regarding their peoples, and novel and innovative methods have begun to appear in the published literature. This review attempts to catalogue the wide array of Indigenous research methods in the peer-reviewed literature and describe commonalities among methods in order to guide researchers and communities in future method development. A total of 64 articles met inclusionary criteria and five themes emerged: General

“…Another powerful resource that could be incorporated into future work is the use of Talking Circles, which offer a traditional a way of making group decisions among AI people (Haozous et al 2010). Proven to be a respected tool in AI health research, Talking Circles offer a way for a group of people to discuss a topic in an equal and non-confrontational manner, conveying convey information in the AI oral storytelling tradition (Haozous et al 2010; Fleischhacker et al 2011; Struthers et al 2003; Strickland, Squeoch, Chrisman 1999).…”

Preventing alcohol-exposed pregnancy among American-Indian youth

2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Research has determined that the prevention of alcohol-exposed pregnancies (AEP) must occur pre-conceptually with women, either by reducing alcohol intake in women planning pregnancy or at-risk for becoming pregnant, or by preventing pregnancy in women drinking at risky levels. One such AEP prevention programme with non-pregnant American Indian women is the Oglala Sioux Tribe (OST) CHOICES (Changing High-risk alcohOl use and Increasing Contraception Effectiveness Study) Programme, which shows promise in reducing AEP risk in American Indian women aged 18 or older. A community needs assessment was conducted with key informant interviews and focus groups with an emphasis on how to expand OST CHOICES. To identify interconnected themes, a content analysis methodology was used on the qualitative feedback from the focus groups and interviews. Altogether, key informant interviews were completed with 25 health and social service professionals. Eight focus groups were held with 58 American Indian participants, including adult women of child-bearing age, elder women, and adult men. Several sub-themes regarding the prevention of AEP with youth were identified, expanding the OST CHOICES curriculum into the schools, and the role of family and culture within AEP prevention.
