Abstract：
Globally, Indigenous children have historical and contemporary connections with government child protection services that have caused significant harm to their long-term health and wellbeing. Innovative, culturally secure and recovery focussed service provision is required. This paper describes a research protocol that has been designed by Indigenous researchers led by Indigenous Elders, to explore culturally secure care planning and service delivery in out-of-home care agencies in Australia. Using participatory action research methods, we will collect data using a variety of forums, including focus groups and semi-structured interviews. These data will explore the challenges for out-of-home care agencies in providing culturally secure care-planning, cultural activity and resources, and explore solutions to address factors that influence health and can assist to redress social inequities for Indigenous children. We aim to recruit approximately 100 participants for the qualitative study and 40 participants for the quantitative survey. Study participants will initially be recruited using purposive sampling, and as the study progresses will be recruited using a mixture of purposive and convenience sampling techniques. The rich data that this study is expected to yield, will inform ways to collect cultural information about Indigenous children and ways to provide cultural connections and activities that will have benefit to Indigenous children and families, and a broad range of social services.
摘要：
全球范围内,土著儿童与政府儿童保护服务有着历史和当代的联系，这对他们的长期健康和福祉造成了重大损害。创新,需要提供文化安全和以恢复为重点的服务。本文介绍了由土著长老领导的土著研究人员设计的研究协议，探索澳大利亚家庭外护理机构的文化安全护理计划和服务提供。采用参与式行动研究方法，我们将使用各种论坛收集数据，包括焦点小组和半结构化访谈。这些数据将探讨家庭外护理机构在提供文化上安全的护理计划方面的挑战，文化活动和资源，并探索解决方案，以解决影响健康的因素，并可以帮助纠正土著儿童的社会不平等。我们的目标是招募大约100名参与者进行定性研究，并招募40名参与者进行定量调查。研究参与者最初将使用目的抽样招募，随着研究的进展，将使用目的性和便利性采样技术的混合进行招募。这项研究预计将产生丰富的数据，将介绍如何收集有关土著儿童的文化信息，以及如何提供有利于土著儿童和家庭的文化联系和活动，以及广泛的社会服务。
