Awareness of cultural safety by midwifery academics is integral to the provision of a safe learning and teaching environments, use of effective pedagogies, and academic success of Indigenous midwifery students. However, little is known about the scope and efficacy of continuing professional development activities that aim to develop awareness of cultural safety by midwifery academics.
To conduct an integrative review of the literature with respect to the scope and efficacy of professional development interventions that aim to increase awareness of cultural safety by midwifery academics.
An integrative review of peer-reviewed literature from 2005 -2017 was undertaken. Documents were assessed using the Critical Appraisals Skills Program (CASP) guidelines. Concepts were mapped thematically.
Results are reported and discussed using key themes identified in the analysis. Five broad themes emerged from the analysis of studies. The themes were named: Cultural Terms, Knowledge of Culture, Cultural Education, Cultural Aspirations and Culture in Curricula.
Midwifery academics requireprofessional development to raise their awareness of cultural safety in order to adopt effective learning and teaching practices. There is currently no agreed best practice framework to support awareness of cultural safety for midwifery academics. The philosophy of midwifery practice has many synergies with the principles of cultural safety. Cultural safety needs to be embedded into professional development plans for midwifery academics.
助产学术人员对文化安全的认识对于提供安全的学习和教学环境、使用有效的教学方法以及确保土著助产学生的学业成功至关重要。然而，对于旨在提高助产学术人员文化安全意识的持续专业发展活动的范围和效果知之甚少。
对 2005 年至 2017 年期间旨在提高助产学术人员文化安全意识的专业发展干预措施的文献进行综合评价。
对同行评议文献进行综合评价，使用关键评估技能计划 (CASP) 指南进行评估。通过主题分析对概念进行映射。
使用分析中确定的关键主题报告和讨论结果。从研究分析中出现了五个广泛的主题。这些主题分别命名为：文化术语、文化知识、文化教育、文化抱负和课程中的文化。
助产学术人员需要专业发展来提高他们对文化安全的认识，以采用有效的学习和教学实践。目前，没有一个公认的最佳实践框架来支持助产学术人员的文化安全意识。助产实践的理念与文化安全的原则有许多协同作用。文化安全需要嵌入到助产学术人员的专业发展计划中。
