Abstract

Objective: This study was the first phase of a broader project designed to develop a new tool to screen social and emotional well-being (SEWB). Its objective was to identify words used by First Nations people living in the Torres Strait (Zenadth Kes) and Northern Peninsula Area (NPA) to describe and discuss SEWB. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. We acknowledge the First Nations peoples who took part in this project as holders of their cultural knowledge now and forevermore.

Setting: This study took place in community and primary health care settings located on islands of the Torres Strait and NPA of Australia.

Participants: Twelve yarns with 35 community members and health professionals were led by Torres Strait Islander members of the project team between August and December 2022.

Design: This study employed a descriptive qualitative design. Yarning, an Australian First Nations relational method, was used to share stories about SEWB. All but one yarn was audio recorded and subsequently professionally transcribed. Inductive thematic analysis was used to analyse the yarns.

Results: Worry, sad and stress were the words most often used by participants to describe feelings of low SEWB. Signs of low SEWB included behaviour change, particularly significantly reduced community engagement.

Conclusions: Worry is not a word that is used in Australian mainstream tools that screen for psychological distress. Findings of this study indicate that a question that asks about worries should be included when screening for low SEWB in Australian First Nations peoples living in the Torres Strait and NPA.

生活在托雷斯海峡和北部半岛地区的原住民如何描述和讨论社会和情感福祉。
研究目的本研究是一个范围更广的项目的第一阶段,该项目旨在开发一种新的工具来筛查社会和情感福祉(SEWB)。其目的是确定生活在托雷斯海峡(Zenadth Kes)和北部半岛地区(NPA)的原住民在描述和讨论社会和情感幸福感时使用的词语。我们向过去和现在的长老致敬。我们感谢参与本项目的原住民,他们现在和将来都是其文化知识的拥有者:本研究在澳大利亚托雷斯海峡和北太平洋地区岛屿的社区和初级卫生保健机构进行:在 2022 年 8 月至 12 月期间,项目小组的托雷斯海峡岛民成员与 35 名社区成员和卫生专业人员进行了 12 次交谈:本研究采用描述性定性设计。纱线 "是澳大利亚原住民的一种联系方法,用于分享有关 SEWB 的故事。除一个故事外,其他所有故事都进行了录音,并随后进行了专业转录。归纳式主题分析法用于分析这些故事:担忧、悲伤和压力是参与者最常用来描述低 SEWB 感觉的词语。低 SEWB 的迹象包括行为改变,尤其是社区参与度明显降低:结论:在澳大利亚主流的心理困扰筛查工具中,"担心 "并不是一个常用词。本研究的结果表明,在筛查生活在托雷斯海峡和北太平洋地区的澳大利亚原住民的低SEWB时,应包括一个询问忧虑的问题。
