Indigenous people experience a unique set of health inequalities and social determinants that can negatively affect their physical health, mental health and wellness. This critical state of affairs is compounded by the limited availability of culturally appropriate care services and treatments for the different groups. In response, increasing numbers of studies are turning their focus to art-based interventions and how these might benefit Indigenous lives. The proposed scoping review aims to map this growing field of research.
This scoping review is based on the Arksey and O'Malley methodological framework and the subsequent enhancements proposed by Levac . Academic databases and grey literature sources will be searched to identify appropriate studies for inclusion. The search strategies of all databases were tested on 25 April 2024. This will be followed by a two-step screening process to be conducted by two researchers and consisting of (1) a title and abstract review and (2) a full-text review. Data from the selected studies will be extracted, collated and charted to summarise all relevant interventions, their outcomes and key findings. An Indigenous research partner will be hired as a consultant, and the research will be further informed by other stakeholders.
This study is the first step in a research programme involving working with Indigenous artists to codesign a pilot art-based intervention aimed at improving mental health and wellness among Indigenous people. The scoping review will identify the specific components in documented art-based interventions that have proven beneficial to this group. Since it will draw exclusively on data from published and public sources, no ethics approval is required. The results will be disseminated through knowledge translation activities with Indigenous organisations and art therapy groups; a summary of the results will also be distributed through Indigenous networks.
原住民经历着一系列独特的健康不平等和社会决定因素，这些因素可能对他们的身心健康和幸福感产生负面影响。这种严峻的情况因针对不同群体的文化上适宜的护理服务和治疗方法的有限供应而更加复杂。为应对这一情况，越来越多的研究将关注点转向基于艺术的干预措施，以及这些措施如何使原住民受益。本研究旨在对这一日益增长的研究领域进行概述。
本概述性研究基于 Arksey 和 O'Malley 的方法论框架以及随后由 Levac 提出的改进措施。将通过学术数据库和灰色文献来源进行搜索，以确定纳入的适当研究。所有数据库的搜索策略已于 2024 年 4 月 25 日进行了测试。然后将进行两步筛选过程，由两名研究人员进行，包括（1）标题和摘要审查，以及（2）全文审查。从选定的研究中提取、整理和图表化数据，以总结所有相关干预措施、其结果和主要发现。将聘请一名原住民研究合作伙伴作为顾问，研究还将得到其他利益相关者的进一步支持。
本研究是一个研究计划的第一步，该计划涉及与原住民艺术家合作，共同设计一项基于艺术的试点干预措施，旨在改善原住民的心理健康和幸福感。概述性研究将确定已证明对该群体有益的记录在案的基于艺术的干预措施的具体组成部分。由于它将完全依赖于已发表和公开来源的数据，因此不需要伦理批准。研究结果将通过与原住民组织和艺术治疗团体的知识转化活动进行传播；还将通过原住民网络分发结果摘要。
