Determining the cultural safety of chronic disease interventions for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians: a scoping review by Hannah Woodall, Hannah Woodall, Hannah Woodall, Sarah Larkins, Janani Pinidiyapathirage, Janani Pinidiyapathirage, Raelene Ward, Rebecca Evans

“…In the analysed studies, elements contributing to cultural safety included practitioner behaviour (n = 15), knowledge (n = 6), skills (n = 1) and attitudes (n = 4), partnership with community (n = 4) and culturally safe services (n = 5), and graphics and artwork (n = 6). The inconsistent terminology and lack of definitions made comparison of studies challenging.ConclusionThis review underscores the importance of adopting the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) definition of cultural safety to standardise terminology and explore the many elements of cultural safety. …”
