目的:本文报告了我们探索性定性研究的结果,该研究旨在增进加拿大土著人民对堕胎服务的获取和经验的了解。
方法:我们采用了土著方法,利用对话式访谈方法与加拿大的15个土著人民进行互动。我们的研究是由土著咨询委员会提供的,该委员会由在加拿大各地堕胎服务获取和/或支持领域工作的一线服务提供商组成。
结果:我们从2021年9月和11月进行了对话。参与者确定为梅蒂斯,Cree,Dene,因纽特人,Haudenosaunee,Anishinaabe,和Mi\'kmaq国家,横跨九个省和地区。与会者谈到了六个主题,其中包括加拿大土著人民在堕胎方面的挑战和潜在解决方案。其中包括(1)后勤障碍,(2)治疗不良,(3)污名,(4)殖民主义对堕胎态度的影响,(5)传统知识,(6)后续护理和支持。
结论:我们的研究表明,土著人民面临的堕胎障碍与非土著加拿大人不同,这些障碍与殖民主义密切相关。
结论:尊重定居者殖民主义之前的生殖选择的土著知识和实践,必须提出到今天,以提高堕胎护理的质量。
This paper reports on findings from our exploratory qualitative
study that aims to advance knowledge around access to and experiences with abortion services among Indigenous Peoples in Canada.
We applied an Indigenous methodology to engage with 15 Indigenous Peoples across Canada utilizing a conversational interview method. Our
study was informed by an Indigenous Advisory Committee consisting of front-line service providers working in the area of abortion service access and/ or support across Canada.
We conducted conversations from September and November 2021. Participants identified with Métis, Cree, Dene, Inuit, Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, and Mi\'kmaq nations, across nine provinces and territories. Participants spoke to six themes encompassing challenges and potential solutions around abortion access experiences among Indigenous Peoples in Canada. These included (1) logistical barriers, (2) poor treatment, (3) stigma, (4) impacts of
colonialism on attitudes towards abortion, (5) traditional knowledge, and (6) follow-up care and support.
Our
study demonstrates that Indigenous Peoples experience abortion access barriers that are different than non-Indigenous Canadians, and that these barriers are closely linked to
colonialism.
Indigenous knowledges and practices that honor reproductive choice that pre-dates settler colonialism, must be brought forward into today to enhance the quality of abortion care.
