- W4385614931 abstract "Introduction Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples receive a poorer cancer prognosis compared to non-Indigenous Australians. Indigenous access to cancer care is limited by several factors, including differences in cultural understanding surrounding cancer and distrust of mainstream health institutions. It is believed that radiation therapy is being under-utilised by the Indigenous community. In response, several strategies were implemented to increase presentation and attendance by Indigenous Australians at a rural, private radiation therapy practice. Methods A local Indigenous health service, Traditional Owners and Elders and the clinic's Reconciliation Action Plan Working Group were consulted to implement initiatives to reduce barriers to engaging in healthcare. One of these initiatives involved community consultation to select a culturally safe, Indigenous word to name one of the clinic's linear accelerators. Indigenous patient referrals into the clinic were tracked using an oncology information system. It is expected that by implementing several culturally safe strategies, there would be an increase in utilisation of the radiation therapy service and therefore, a decrease in Indigenous cancer burden across the local region. If strategies were yielding positive outcomes, there would be scope to implement these at other sites across a broader monitored network. Results Currently, service utilisation is being monitored to determine whether initiatives have been successful. Initial data evaluation has been conducted and results are showing increased service utilisation by the Indigenous community. Conclusion Work has been undertaken to implement strategies to improve cultural safety and improve access to radiation therapy for Indigenous cancer patients. Preliminary results show an increase in the number of presentations to the clinic for radiation therapy treatment." @default.
