Indigenous communities are often portrayed from a deficit-based lens; however, Indigenous communities have self-determined perspectives of health and well-being that are strength based. The objective of this study will be to systematically map the literature on perspectives, concepts, and constructs of wellness and well-being in Indigenous communities in Canada.
A scoping review protocol was designed following the Arksey and O'Malley framework. We will search the following electronic databases (from inception onwards): MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL, Academic Search Complete, Anthropology Plus, Bibliography of Native North Americans, Canadian Business and Current Affairs, and Circumpolar Health Bibliographic Database. Grey literature will be identified through searching dissertation databases, Google Scholar, and conference abstracts. We will include all types of literature in English, published and unpublished, including any study design, reviews and meta-analyses, dissertations, reports, and books. The literature considered should describe or reflect Indigenous perspectives that identify concepts or constructs related to well-being or wellness; literature can be from any setting in Canada. Two reviewers will independently screen all citations, full-text reports, and abstract data. Data analysis will involve quantitative descriptions (e.g. frequencies) and qualitative content analysis methods.
This review will provide a synthesis of the literature on Indigenous perspectives, concepts, and constructs of wellness and well-being in Canada. We anticipate the study will contribute to improve our understanding of how Indigenous communities conceptualize and embody wellness. Our findings will provide a basis for engaging Indigenous stakeholders in future health research and informing future interpretations of how wellness is conceptualized, whether written or unwritten.
原住民社区经常被描绘成基于缺陷的视角；然而，原住民社区有自我决定的健康和福祉观点，这些观点是以优势为基础的。本研究的目的将是系统地绘制加拿大原住民社区中关于健康和福祉的观点、概念和结构的文献。
根据 Arksey 和 O'Malley 框架设计了一个范围审查方案。我们将从以下电子数据库中搜索（从成立开始）：MEDLINE、EMBASE、Web of Science、CINAHL、学术搜索完整、人类学加、北美原住民书目、加拿大商业和当前事务、和环极健康书目数据库。将通过搜索论文数据库、Google Scholar 和会议摘要来确定灰色文献。我们将包括英语出版和未出版的所有类型的文献，包括任何研究设计、综述和荟萃分析、论文、报告和书籍。考虑的文献应描述或反映原住民观点，确定与健康或福祉相关的概念或结构；文献可以来自加拿大的任何地方。两名审查员将独立筛选所有引文、全文报告和摘要数据。数据分析将涉及定量描述（例如频率）和定性内容分析方法。
本综述将对加拿大原住民视角、概念和结构的健康和福祉文献进行综合。我们预计该研究将有助于增进我们对原住民社区如何概念化和体现健康的理解。我们的研究结果将为未来的健康研究中让原住民利益相关者参与提供基础，并为未来如何解释健康概念提供依据，无论是书面的还是非书面的。
