In Australia, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population experience a high prevalence of chronic disease. The majority of chronic disease management occurs in primary health care settings where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workers/practitioners have a critical role in caring for patients. While both primary health care and the Aboriginal health worker role in Australia have advanced and expanded significantly over the past 50 years, there is a paucity of evidence on effective and culturally adapted training programs in chronic disease management for this workforce. Training programs focused on the management of common chronic diseases, such as, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, chronic kidney disease, cancer are of interest. A comprehensive evidence synthesis of training programs for common chronic diseases would inform the development of a diabetes health worker workforce program which is being funded through a Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) Primary Health Care Research Initiative grant. In recognising chronic diseases share similar risk factors and management processes, we have chosen to draw on a larger scope of literature than just diabetes-specific training. We describe a protocol for a scoping review of the literature to, firstly identify the characteristics of chronic disease training programs for Indigenous health workers/practitioners; and secondly to identify and synthesise the enablers of and barriers to delivery and participation of chronic disease training programs for Indigenous health workers/practitioners, including their effect on patient outcomes where available. |
