Background
Models of care that are culturally responsive, trauma-informed and provide continuity of care(r), are important components of care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander parents during the broad perinatal period (pregnancy to 2 years after birth; first 1000 days). Many health services do aim to incorporate these concepts in care provision, but often focus on only one.
Aim
To identify practical toolkits that guide implementation of culturally responsive care, trauma-informed care, or continuity of care(r) in the perinatal period, and map the key elements.
Methods
A scoping review was conducted. Relevant databases and grey literature were searched to identify toolkits that guided implementation of any one of the aforementioned concepts in the perinatal period. Toolkit context, principles, core components and processes were extracted and synthesised.
Findings
Thirteen toolkits, from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous contexts, met the inclusion criteria. Six related to culturally responsive care, nine to trauma-informed care, and eight to continuity of care(r), with some overlap. Key principles included continuity of carer, collaboration, woman (or family) centred care, safety and holistic care. Individualised care, team work, having a safe service environment and continuity of care/r were highlighted as core components. Key processes related to planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and sustainability.
Discussion
There are no available resources that support holistic implementation of all three concepts of culturally responsive, trauma-informed continuity of care(r), spanning the first 1000 days, for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families. A synthesised toolkit of key principles, core components and key processes would assist implementation of this.
Statement of significance
Problem: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families experience health inequalities and poorer perinatal outcomes due to a legacy of colonisation and ongoing discrimination.
What is already known
Culturally responsive care, trauma-informed care and continuity of care(r) are elements of perinatal care shown to improve outcomes and experiences.
What this paper adds
This review synthesises key aspects of culturally responsive, trauma-informed and continuity of care(r) models. It highlights the lack of resources to support services implementing models pertaining to these three concepts across the full First 1000 days, for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families.
