Presentation: Concurrent Session B03 – Facilitating Culturally Safe Indigenous Birth in Urban Labour and Delivery Environments
Description

Facilitating Culturally Safe Indigenous Birth in Urban Labor and Delivery Environments

 

Purpose:

More Indigenous women are experiencing pregnancy, birth, and post-partum care in urban centres, with or without the support of traditional midwives. This multi-part clinical case invites participants to explore how urban perinatal nurses can mobilize theory and practice related to Indigenous ally-ship to facilitate culturally safe birth experiences while navigating institutional policy and inter-disciplinary relationships.

 

Learning Objectives:

1. Develop and discuss action-based strategies for nurses to support a culturally safe urban Indigenous birth experience through engagement with a clinical case scenario.

2. Challenge understandings of nursing advocacy in the context of Indigenous birth by exploring the theory and application of cultural safety, cultural humility, and Indigenous ally-ship in urban perinatal nursing practice.

3. Identify practical examples of effective ally-ship, strategies, and resources for urban perinatal nurses to support Indigenous birth.
