BACKGROUND: There is increasing recognition of the importance of the preconception period for addressing reproductive and intergenerational health inequities and supporting improved maternal and child health outcomes. This study aimed to understand the extent and type of evidence that exists in relation to preconception health for Indigenous peoples living in high-income countries with similar experiences of colonisation, namely, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States. METHODS: This review was conducted as per the JBI methodology and PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews. A comprehensive search of PubMed, CINAHL [EBSCO], Ovid Embase, Scopus, and the Wiley Cochrane Library was conducted using keywords and index terms. We included research in English published between January 2010 and June 2023 on quantitative and qualitative primary studies. Data were extracted using a standardised tool, and the analysis included quantitative descriptions and qualitative content analysis. RESULTS: We identified 360 potential studies and included 57 articles in the review. Most studies were from the United States (n = 36, 63.2%) and Australia (n = 13, 22.8%), and they commonly reported associations between preconception health risk factors and maternal or child health outcomes (n = 27, 48.2%) or described the development, implementation, or evaluation of preconception health interventions (n = 26, 46.4%). Common preconception health areas were pre-pregnancy body mass index or weight (n = 34), alcohol (n = 16), diet (n = 14), physical activity (n = 12), and diabetes (n = 11). Most studies focused exclusively on women (n = 46, 80.7%), and very few included men (n = 3, 5.3%). The study populations were mostly urban and rural (n = 25, 43.9%) or rural only (n = 14, 24.6%); however, the geographical remoteness was often unclear (n = 14, 24.6%). CONCLUSIONS: While there was some research relating to the preconception health of Indigenous peoples, this review identified considerable research gaps. There is a need for dedicated research into preconception health risk factors and reproductive health outcomes, attitudes and awareness of preconception health, and preconception health interventions for Indigenous peoples.
背景:越来越多的人认识到,在高收入国家中,为了解决生殖和代际健康不平等问题并支持改善母婴健康结果,必须重视备孕阶段。本研究旨在了解在经历过类似殖民化的澳大利亚、新西兰、加拿大和美国等高收入国家中,与原住民的备孕健康相关的现有证据的程度和类型。
方法:本综述按照 JBI 方法和 PRISMA 扩展用于范围综述进行。使用关键词和索引词,对 PubMed、CINAHL [EBSCO]、Ovid Embase、Scopus 和 Wiley Cochrane 图书馆进行了全面检索。我们纳入了 2010 年 1 月至 2023 年 6 月间发表的以英语撰写的定量和定性原始研究。使用标准化工具提取数据,分析包括定量描述和定性内容分析。
结果:我们确定了 360 项潜在研究,并将 57 篇文章纳入综述。大多数研究来自美国(n = 36,63.2%)和澳大利亚(n = 13,22.8%),它们通常报告了备孕健康风险因素与母婴健康结果之间的关联(n = 27,48.2%),或描述了备孕健康干预措施的制定、实施或评估(n = 26,46.4%)。常见的备孕健康领域包括备孕期的体重指数或体重(n = 34)、酒精(n = 16)、饮食(n = 14)、身体活动(n = 12)和糖尿病(n = 11)。大多数研究仅关注女性(n = 46,80.7%),很少有研究包括男性(n = 3,5.3%)。研究人群主要为城市和农村(n = 25,43.9%)或仅为农村(n = 14,24.6%);然而,地理偏远程度往往不明确(n = 14,24.6%)。
结论:尽管有一些关于原住民备孕健康的研究,但本综述发现存在相当大的研究差距。需要对原住民的备孕健康风险因素和生殖健康结果、对备孕健康的态度和认识以及针对原住民的备孕健康干预措施进行专门研究。
