This article is a call for reflection from two distinct programs of research which converge on common interests pertaining to issues of health, social justice, and globalization. One of the authors has developed a research program related to the health and well-being of non-western populations, while the other author has expanded the field of Aboriginal and international research in Canada and abroad. Based on examples drawn from our respective programs of research, we suggest conciliating the philosophy of primary healthcare to postcolonial feminism for decolonizing research and enhancing knowledge transfer with non-western populations. We contend that applying the theoretical and methodological strengths of these two approaches is a means to decolonize nursing research and to avoid western neocolonization. In conciliating primary health care and postcolonial feminism, the goal is to enhance the pragmatic relevance of postcolonial feminism to generate resistance through transformative research for achieving social justice. In tapping into the synergistic and complementary epistemological assumptions of the philosophy of primary health care and postcolonial 'feminisms', nurse researchers reinforce the anti-oppresive goals of postcolonial feminist research. Consequently, this approach may enhance both decolonization and knowledge transfer through strategies like photovoice.
这是一篇呼吁反思的文章，它源于两个不同的研究项目，这些研究项目都关注与健康、社会正义和全球化相关的共同问题。其中一位作者开发了一个与非西方人群的健康和福祉相关的研究项目，而另一位作者则在加拿大国内外扩大了原住民和国际研究领域。基于我们各自研究项目中的例子，我们建议调和初级卫生保健哲学和后殖民女权主义，以实现研究去殖民化并加强与非西方人群的知识转移。我们认为，应用这两种方法的理论和方法优势是实现护理研究去殖民化并避免西方新殖民主义的一种手段。在调和初级卫生保健和后殖民女权主义时，目标是通过变革性研究增强后殖民女权主义的实践相关性，以实现社会正义的抵抗。通过利用初级卫生保健哲学和后殖民“女权主义”的协同和互补认识论假设，护士研究人员加强了后殖民女权主义研究的反压迫目标。因此，这种方法可以通过摄影等策略来增强去殖民化和知识转移。
