Implications for policy |
Our findings can be used by policymakers to get
an insight into the components that need to be integrated an
organisational level that enable culturally competent system
of primary care. The model can be adopted by umbrella
organisations that represent primary care providers such as
doctors, nurses and social workers to develop guidelines on
responding to culturally diverse women experiencing family
violence. |
Implications for
practice |
The model can be used by
primary care practice to reflect on its current level of
cultural competence, design training programmes and to
provide a quick visual guide to its practitioners. Also,
this review can be a great resource for primary care
providers keen to learn time-efficiently about working with
culturally diverse women experiencing family
violence. |
Implications for
research |
This study adds knowledge to
an area with a significant gap. In addition, we have
identified areas that need further research: (a) Examination
of how the components of the proposed model interacts with
elements at the national policy level; (b) development and
validation of risk assessment instruments for women from
various immigrant and refugee backgrounds, and Indigenous
women, and LGBTQIA+ identifying women from culturally
diverse backgrounds; (c) safety planning specific to women
from culturally diverse backgrounds and (d) application of
the proposed model to women from various ethnic and racial
backgrounds. |
