Evaluating Facilitators’ Experience Delivering a Stress-Reducing Intervention for Indigenous Women with and without HIV
Datos Bibliográficos
Indigenous women encounter increased stressful life experiences such as socioeconomic insecurities as well as inequities in health services and outcomes. These stress inequities, which stem from the historical and ongoing effects of settler colonialism, also worsen health outcomes for those women living with HIV. As a part of a broader research project on the impacts of stress-reducing interventions for indigenous women, this study examines the experiences of the women who facilitated the intervention. This research was conducted to evaluate the impacts of a biweekly stress-reducing intervention conducted in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The facilitators of the intervention participated in a focus group in 2019 where they detailed the reach, effectiveness, adoption, and implementation of the intervention. The results suggest that effective stress-reducing interventions should strive to be accessible and inclusive and that doing so can increase program engagement with the service organization hosting the intervention. Further, the results highlight the strengths and challenges of the intervention, including how it helped foster leadership skills and increased indigenous cultural learning among facilitators. These findings demonstrate the strength of community-led interventions and subsequent opportunities for facilitators to grow as leaders. Further, the study highlights how this style of intervention can also encourage participants to engage in other health and wellbeing programs offered by the community partner hosting the intervention. These findings suggest that interventions aimed at reducing stress among indigenous women facing socioeconomic insecurities, including those living with HIV, are both feasible and beneficial for participants, facilitators, and the nonprofit service organizations delivering them
