Abstract

Culturally grounded after-school programs (ASPs) aim to promote health and well-being among Indigenous youth. Native Spirit is a 10-session ASP that focuses on local cultural values and activities facilitated by local cultural practitioners. This pilot study used a single group, pretest-posttest design (N = 18) with Indigenous adolescents in grades 7-12 and conducted participant interviews (N = 11) to assess the impact of the program on cultural identity, self-esteem, and resilience. There were immediate post-program increases in mean strength in cultural identity (p = 0.002), resilience (p = 0.161), and self-esteem (p = 0.268). Themes related to benefits of program participation included curiosity and commitment to cultural identity, increases in self-esteem, and ability to build resilience. This study provides new insights on the relationship between cultural engagement and adolescent health.

参与文化基础计划可增强城市土著青少年的文化认同感、自尊心和复原力。

以文化为基础的课后活动（ASP）旨在促进土著青少年的健康和幸福。Native Spirit 是一个为期 10 个课时的 ASP，重点关注当地的文化价值观，并由当地的文化从业者协助开展活动。这项试点研究采用了单组、前测-后测设计（N = 18），对象是 7-12 年级的土著青少年，并对参与者进行了访谈（N = 11），以评估该计划对文化认同、自尊和适应能力的影响。项目结束后，文化认同感（p = 0.002）、复原力（p = 0.161）和自尊心（p = 0.268）的平均强度立即得到提高。与参与计划的益处相关的主题包括对文化认同的好奇心和承诺、自尊心的增强以及建立复原力的能力。这项研究为文化参与与青少年健康之间的关系提供了新的见解。
