There is growing evidence for the benefits of eHealth interventions with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Yet, there is a lack of guidance for culturally safe, relevant, and sustainable initiatives with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and organisations. To this end a research program was established to develop a roadmap for eHealth with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The current phase of the research program is a review of the literature aimed at identifying the important characteristics of eHealth interventions with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Thirty-nine publications reporting on a variety of eHealth modalities with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were identified. To assess the cultural quality of the final papers, the authorship applied the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Quality Appraisal Tool (QAT). Results from the appraisal demonstrated significantly higher QAT scores between studies, including more Indigenous authors. This further substantiates the importance Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing, doing, and being incorporating Indigenous worldviews and leadership have on the cultural quality of eHealth research studies.
越来越多的证据表明，电子健康干预措施对原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民有益。然而，针对原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民及其组织的文化安全、相关和可持续举措，缺乏指导。为此，成立了一个研究项目，为原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民制定电子健康路线图。该研究项目的当前阶段是对文献进行审查，旨在确定针对原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民的电子健康干预措施的重要特征。确定了 39 篇报告各种电子健康模式的出版物，这些出版物涉及原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民。为了评估最终论文的文化质量，作者应用了原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民质量评估工具 (QAT)。评估结果表明，研究之间的 QAT 分数明显更高，包括更多的土著作者。这进一步证实了原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民的知识、行为和存在方式，将其纳入电子健康研究的文化质量的重要性，因为这种方式包含了土著的世界观和领导力。
