“…The research reviewed also discussed increased senses of community, belonging, and social purpose as outcomes of being connected to culture (Drywater-Whitekiller, 2006;Iwasaki et al, 2005;Lucero, 2010;Wexler, 2014). Specifically, Wexler (2014) discussed youth outcomes in this way: "Having a strong sense of identity was seen as essential for youth well-being .…”

As a strengths-based alternative to Western notions of enculturation and acculturation theory, cultural continuity describes the integration of people within their culture and the methods through which traditional knowledge is maintained and transmitted. Through reviewing relevant, original research with Indigenous Peoples in Canada and the United States, the purpose of this metasynthesis is to describe and interpret qualitative research relating to cultural continuity for Indigenous Peoples in North America. This metasynthesis was conducted through the selection, appraisal, and synthesis of 11 qualitative studies. Across the selected studies, five key themes arose: the connection between cultural continuity and health and well-being, conceptualizations of cultural continuity and connectedness, the role of knowledge transmission, journeys of cultural (dis)continuity, and barriers to cultural continuity.

“…Cultural continuity was also described as an integral component in participants' healing journeys from their past experiences and from trauma (Brunanski, 2009;Iwasaki et al, 2005;Lucero, 2010;Smith et al, 2005). Additionally, empowerment arose as a wellness outcome across papers.…”

“…Another study used focus group interviews to better understand the ways in which aboriginal people with diabetes cope with stress. 40 A key emerging theme was that of interdependence and connectedness; social supports provide an opportunity for sharing problems and feelings and for gaining encouragement and strength. 40 In exploring and measuring concepts related to the structure of social relationships in First Nations communities (e.g., norms of reciprocity), Mignone 41 38 we used an incremental modeling approach to explore the relative role of social support in explaining thriving health (defined as selfreported health status of "excellent" or "very good" in the 2001 APS).…”

Although not a direct measure of health status, self-assessed health is a well-established proxy 54,55 and is highly correlated with mortality, morbidity, and health care utilization.…”

 RESEARCH AND PRACTICE  Objectives. We examined the importance of social support in promoting thriving health among indigenous Canadians, a disadvantaged population.Methods. We categorized the self-reported health status of 31 625 adult indigenous Canadians as thriving (excellent, very good) or nonthriving (good, fair, poor). We measured social support with indices of positive interaction, emotional support, tangible support, and affection and intimacy. We used multivariable logistic regression analyses to estimate odds of reporting thriving health, using social support as the key independent variable, and we controlled for educational attainment and labor force status.Results. Compared with women reporting low levels of social support, those reporting high levels of positive interaction (odds ratio [OR] = 1.4; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.2, 1.6), emotional support (OR = 2.1; 95% CI = 1.8, 2.4), and tangible support (OR = 1.4; 95% CI = 1.2, 1.5) were significantly more likely to report thriving health. Among men, only emotional support was significantly related to thriving health (OR = 1.7; 95% CI = 1.5, 1.9). Thriving health status was also significantly mediated by age, aboriginal status (First Nations, Métis, or Inuit), educational attainment, and labor force status.Conclusions. Social support is a strong determinant of thriving health, particularly among women. Research that emphasizes thriving represents a positive and necessary turn in the indigenous health discourse. (Am J Public Health. 2007;97: 182797: -183397: . doi:10.210597: /AJPH.2006 Social Support and Thriving Health: A New Approach to Understanding the Health of Indigenous Canadians | Chantelle A. M. Richmond, PhD, Nancy A. Ross, PhD, and Grace M. Egeland, PhD have so concentrated their efforts on the determinants of disparities that few have sought to model thriving health. In particular, there has been a lack of research into how one's societal resources, such as social support, can shape health status.

“…Finalmente, alguns estudos procuraram explorar as relações existentes entre a inserção social do doente e sua visão de mundo, não raramente, analisando o tema da espiritualidade (Struthers et al, 2008;Polzer, Miles, 2007;Iwasaki, Bartlett, O'Neil, 2005;Daaleman, Cobb, Frey, 2001).…”

Type 2 diabetes has a major impact on patients lives and the healthcare network. Given the growth in qualitative information on diabetes, it becomes important to systematize this knowledge. A meta-study on diabetes was conducted through analysis on 42 articles that were made in journals at the periodicals portal of the Coordination Office for Advancement of Higher-level Personnel (Capes). We found that the studies reviewed had a good theoretical basis, which included: care management, health-disease concepts, professional-patient relationships, professional practices and treatment compliance. The articles clearly described the methodological procedures used. The use of interviews and focal groups for data gathering predominated, and it was sought to explore different views of the individuals investigated. It was reaffirmed that it was important for health professionals and managers to implement healthcare policies, programs and models that are appropriate for the specific features of chronic illness, guided by comprehensive care and co-responsibility.
