- W238778835 abstract "Abstract / Resume This study is important as there has been little research undertaken with Mi'kmaq communities of Prince Edward Island. The purpose was to focus on two determinants of health: childhood development and personal health practices and coping. Unique features of this study are inclusion of children as informants, use of a multi-disciplinary team, and active involvement of Mi'kmaq community in all stages of project. The study population included all Aboriginal children between ages of O to 18 years and their parents, and pregnant women from Lennox Island and Abegweit communities. Interviews (108) were conducted including two key informants and four case studies. Research findings have emerged in form of descriptions of children's and youths' perceptions of health, and of their own health behaviours. L'article traite d'une etude importante, car il s'agit d'une des premieres etudes sur les collectivites micmaques de l'ile-du-Prince-Edouard. Elle avait pour objectif l'examen de deux determinants de la sante, le developpement des enfants et l'hygiene de vie, accompagnee de la reponse du sujet face aux stresseurs. L'etude est unique en raison de l'integration des enfants a titre de repondants, du recrutement d'une equipe multidisciplinaire et de la participation active des Micmacs a toutes les etapes du projet. La population etudiee comptait tous les enfants autochtones âges de 18 ans et moins et leurs parents, ainsi que les femmes enceintes, des collectivites de Lexxox Island et d'Abegweit. On a interroge 108 personnes, y compris deux repondants cles, et mene quatre etudes de cas. Les resultats de la recherche prennent la forme d'une description des images de la sante percues par les enfants et les jeunes et de leurs propres comportements lies a la sante. Introduction In past several years there has been a renewed interest in health of Canadians with a particular focus on health of Canadian children (Federal, Provincial, & Territorial Advisory Committee on Population Health, 1999; Federal Provincial Territorial Council on Social Policy Renewal, 1999a & 1999b). While majority of children in Canada are healthy, certain groups, like children of Canada's Aboriginal people are considered more vulnerable. According to Canadian Institute on Child Health (CICH, 2000), the general health status of Canada's Aboriginal population ranks below national standards for all other (p. 145). Approximately 50% of Aboriginal children, both on and off reserve, live in poverty (National Forum on Health, 1997). The prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer is higher in Aboriginal population than in general population and appears to be increasing (Federal, Provincial, & Territorial Advisory Committee on Population Health, 1999). While statistics regarding health status of Aboriginal populations are discouraging, more comprehensive information about Aboriginal health factors are needed to facilitate appropriate planning and policy decisions. Current statistics regarding Aboriginal health reinforce importance and urgency of identifying culturally appropriate ways to improve health and well-being of this population. During past decade there have been several health surveys involving Aboriginal people in Canada. In many of these studies, Aboriginal population on Prince Edward Island has not been adequately represented. Given lack of information regarding health status of this population, Abegweit and Lennox Island First Nations began a collaboration with University of Prince Edward Island's (UPEI) Faculty of Education, School of Nursing and Department of Family and Nutritional Sciences to gain a more comprehensive profile of perceptions, health behaviours, and needs of Aboriginal children living on reserve in both of these Island communities. …" @default.
