“…In areas where this access to specialised palliative care services is limited, and nurses make up the primary healthcare force, the incorporation of traditional therapies could work in conjunction with non‐indigenous nurses, Aboriginal nurses, and Aboriginal health workers collaboratively to provide a more culturally safe and holistic approach. This implementation could involve nurses working within rural and remote areas asking for guidance and assistance from traditional healers, working towards understanding a person's wishes and cultural preferences, or by developing education surrounding the incorporation of traditional therapies (Frey et al, 2016; Hampton et al, 2010). Currently, there is limited research on nurses’ viewpoints and understanding of the use of traditional therapies in the context of palliative care or how the implementation of traditional therapies would affect the nursing practices.…”

“…Barriers First Nations peoples face in accessing mainstream palliative services are well documented within the literature including language and communication issues, fear and mistrust of Western medicine, difficulty accommodating cultural practice in palliative care, later referrals and financial disadvantage (Australian Government Department of Health, 2019). This review identifies that the lack of culturally safe practice, lack of education surrounding traditional therapies, lack of understanding regarding First Nations cultural practices and the dismissal of such practices as “witchcraft,” placebo effects or pseudoscience often reinforce these barriers and stigma (Campbell & Amin, 2014; Frey et al, 2016; McGrath & Phillips, 2008; Shahlid et al, 2010). This lack of cultural safety in health practice creates an environment where First Nations people may feel unwelcome, decreasing their desire for the utilisation of services.…”

Aims and objectives To conduct an integrative review of the literature to understand how the incorporation of traditional therapies affect First Nations people's utilisation of palliative care services. Background First Nations peoples face many barriers related to accessing and utilising specialised health services such as palliative care. Whilst culturally appropriate care has been shown to improve these outcomes, there is little evidence regarding how this may be achieved. Design Integrative review. Methods A systematic search was conducted using electronic databases CINAHL, Joanna Briggs, Medline, Scopus, ScienceDirect InformitHealth and ProQuest between the years of 2005 ‐ 2021 databases were searched for papers with full text available and published in English. Papers were included if they were primary‐based research and focused on the topics of the use of traditional therapies in a palliative care context by First Nations persons. The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme principles were used to assess the methodological quality of the selected articles. Results Seven studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. The review included six qualitative studies and one quantitative study. From these studies, five themes were identified in the literature: supporting a holistic approach, developing culturally appropriate care, conflict within a Western medical model, regulatory issues, and geographical barriers. Conclusion There is a dearth of current literature available discussing the utilization of traditional therapies in palliative care. From the literature analysed, the benefits of including traditional therapies are overall positive, however, there are barriers including conflict with the Western model of medicine and regulation. More research is required in the provision of traditional therapies in palliative care. Relevance to Clinical Practice The incorporation of traditional medicines within a palliative care setting could help nurses provide holistic and culturally appropriate care, especially in rural and remote areas where they make up the majority of the healthcare force.

“…Although overlooked as an urgent pedagogical issue in Spanish-language courses, intercultural competence development plays a fundamental role in medical (Frey, Powell & Gott, 2016), legal (Nader, 2011), and engineering (Yu, 2012) contexts. Although the use of this concept varies by discipline, its underlying principle can be broadly outlined as the effective application or utilization of language and cultural skills in diverse interactions.…”

With an overview of the concept of service-learning in Spanish-language courses, this article will examine the following four principal areas to help educators prepare individuals for effective intercultural communication in their prospective fields: (1) role of intercultural competence development across disciplines and in service-learning programs, (2) interdisciplinary approaches to service-learning program development, (3) connect two types of learners (heritage and foreign language learners) in Spanish for the Professions courses to linguistic and ethnic minority challenges to seek solutions to growing disparities across professional contexts through active classroom-tocommunity connections, and (4) empirically examine the benefits of service-learning with a primary focus on heritage language learners in two university courses (Spanish Interpretation and Translation) that involve the establishment of diverse global and local community partnerships that bridge the classroom with the community and seek to eradicate disparities. Results suggested that students (N = 19) in the service-learning programs thought these programs positively affected intercultural competence and linguistic skills development. Study limitations are explored with suggestions for future research.
