Abstract
Aim:
To critically appraise the literature to determine availability and identify the cultural responsiveness of infant resuscitation education for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations.
Background:
Despite overall reductions in infant mortality in the last two decades, Aboriginal people have some of the highest rates of infant mortality of any developed nation. One of the key factors that has attributed to improvements in infant mortality rates is parent and carer education around risk factors and actions of first responders. Identifying gaps in the current basic first-aid initiatives available to Aboriginal communities may contribute to developing resources to contribute to reductions in Aboriginal neonatal mortality rates.
Method:
The review used key terms and Boolean operators across an 11-month time frame searching for research articles utilising the databases of CINAHL, Scopus, Ovid Emcare, Informit, Pubmed and Proquest. After review, 39 articles met the inclusion criteria, 25 articles were discarded due to irrelevant material and 14 articles were included in the structured literature review. The search process was developed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. Articles were assessed for validity and inclusion using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program checklist.
Results:
Research literature relating to First Nation community-based CPR and first-aid education programmes in Canada, USA, India, UK and Europe, Asia and Africa were identified; however, none pertaining specifically to CPR and first-aid education in Australian Aboriginal communities were found.
Discussion:
Despite the lack of research evidence relating to infant cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) education for Australian Aboriginal populations, the reviewed studies noted the importance of culturally responsive education designed in collaboration with First Nation peoples, using novel ways of teaching CPR, that align with the language, culture and needs of the communities it is intended for.
Conclusion:
Further research is required to create a framework for the delivery of culturally responsive infant resuscitation education for Australian Aboriginal parents and communities.
