The aims of the current study included gathering cultural knowledge and stories regarding parenting young children within a Tribal community and learning community members' perspectives on key components of a promising parenting prevention program. Qualitative data were drawn from a focus group including seven participants and semi-structured phone interviews with 21 additional participants, all of whom were parenting children in the community. Hybrid coding and applied thematic analysis revealed five themes: (1) Desire to Learn and Gain Parenting Skills; (2) Relationships and the Caregiver Role; (3) Culture and Caregiving, which included subthemes of Diversity Among Tribal Bands, Intergenerational Knowledge Sharing, and Reconnection and Revitalization; (4) Historical Trauma and Behavioral Health; and (5) Curriculum Terminology Considerations. The information gathered collectively informed the development of the culturally grounded () parenting program. This addresses the great need for culturally grounded interventions to support trauma healing within Indigenous families. The development process and implications for program development by and for Indigenous communities is discussed.
本研究的目的包括收集有关部落社区中幼儿养育的文化知识和故事，以及了解社区成员对一项有前景的育儿预防计划关键组成部分的看法。定性数据来自一个有七名参与者的焦点小组以及对另外21名参与者的半结构化电话访谈，所有这些参与者均在社区中养育子女。混合编码和应用主题分析揭示了五个主题：（1）学习和获得育儿技能的愿望；（2）人际关系与照顾者角色；（3）文化与照顾，其中包括部落群体间的多样性、代际知识共享以及重新连接与振兴等子主题；（4）历史创伤与行为健康；（5）课程术语考量。收集到的信息共同为基于文化的（）育儿计划的制定提供了参考。这满足了对基于文化的干预措施的迫切需求，以支持原住民家庭的创伤愈合。本文讨论了该计划的开发过程以及对原住民社区自身及为其开发计划的影响。
