‘Cultural safety’ and the analysis of health policy affecting aboriginal people

Vicki Smye Lecturer, University of Victoria, Canada
Annette J Browne Assistant Professor, University of Northern British Columbia, Canada

Vicki Smye and Annette Browne explore the exportability of the concept of ‘cultural safety’ from the healthcare literature in New Zealand to inform an analysis of mental health policy discourse affecting aboriginal communities in British Columbia, Canada. The moral issues raised are, they suggest, ones that nurses in research, policy and practice must attend to when providing health care to marginalised, disenfranchised populations
