摘要
Cancer rates among Indigenous People are higher than among the general population. Indigenous populations have significantly higher cancer rates and lower five-year survival rates. Contributing factors are complex. Social inequity plays a role, including the ongoing legacy of colonialism, social exclusion, and systemic racism in the health-care system. As a model of healthcare delivery, culturally safe care includes improving services and supports for Indigenous People. This article draws on previous and ongoing research involving Indigenous communities in Canada. It reviews the meaning of culturally safe care and describes how oncology nurses can practice culturally safe care for Indigenous People by combating racism, discrimination, and colonialism in their oncology nursing practice.
