Multicultural quality of life predictive effects on wellbeing: a cross-sectional study of a Muslim community in South Australia

Community Cultural Wealth among a South Australian Muslim Population: A Reflective Evaluation of Strengthening Family Health and Wellbeing

“…When such barriers exist, the outcomes for members of Muslim and other minority groups may be low levels of health literacy (Hamiduzzaman et al 2022), poor socio-emotional health and wellbeing (Abood et al 2021;McLaren et al 2022), higher rates of family violence (Chen et al 2022), diminished quality of life (McLaren et al 2023;Patmisari et al 2022), and silencing (McLaren 2016;Nawaz and McLaren 2016). Researchers have shown that implementation science incorporating faith-based strategies has the potential to bridge the gaps and improve the outcomes, achieving harmony in non-Muslim communities (Abu Khait and Lazenby 2021; In our reflections, we draw on the idea of community cultural wealth, as originally conceptualised by Oliver and Shapiro (1995), emphasising the value of knowledge, practices, and relationships in shaping the outcomes for people in various socio-cultural or religious contexts. Further adapted by Yosso (2005), the concept recognises that different communities have multiple resources and strengths that include aspirational, navigational, social, linguistic, familial and resistant forms of cultural wealth.…”

Biosafety networks perceived in the literature from 2019 to 2023

“…In other words, the pandemic impacted organizations and institutions from the epidemiological traffic light, but its effects on group leaders can be analyzed from group learning networks in the face of the health crisis (Patmisari, McLaren & Jones, 2022). Therefore, the systematic review of the literature will explain the asymmetric relationships between those who follow the official guidelines and those who improvised an innovative response to COVID-19, as is the case of entrepreneurship.…”

Health and Social Care Outcomes in the Community: Review of Religious Considerations in Interventions with Muslim-Minorities in Australia, Canada, UK, and the USA

“…Indifference with the ethnoreligious needs of Muslim-minorities has led to a complex array of poorly understood barriers to health and social care (Hanrieder, 2017 ), affecting Muslims’ wellbeing (Patmisari et al, 2022 ). Mainstream indifference leads to marginalization and, consequently, low levels of health literacy (Hamiduzzaman et al, 2022 ; Shahin et al, 2021 ), inequitable access to community services and care (Ishaq et al, 2021 ; Samari, 2016 ), and poorer health outcomes (Shahin et al, 2021 ; Shlala & Jayaweera, 2016 ).…”

“…Marginality is a key factor that hinders the confidence of Muslim-minorities in their access of mainstream health and social care. In our recent study of multicultural quality of life predictive effects of wellbeing among an Australian sample, feeling safe and having access to religiously appropriate resources was seen as crucial to the health of this Muslim community (Patmisari et al, 2022 ). Nonetheless, the health and social care of this community was equally impacted by the persistence of anti-Muslim sentiment and ethnoreligious misunderstanding across nations and time (Elkassem et al, 2018 ; McLaren & Patil, 2016 ; Patil & McLaren, 2019 ).…”
