Résumé

Contexte : Les soins de santé occidentaux sont saturés de processus qui ne répondent pas aux besoins culturels des populations racialisées ou qui ne tiennent pas compte des aspects non médicaux de la santé et de la guérison. Les structures sociales et les rapports de pouvoir inégaux compliquent le changement de ces processus. La méfiance, les microagressions raciales et la discrimination ont une incidence sur l’expérience des personnes noires dans le système de la santé. Pour favoriser la santé et la guérison, il faut tenir compte des préjudices causés lorsque les soins ne sont pas culturellement adaptés. Méthodes : Pour remédier au manque de sécurité culturelle dans les soins de santé, nous avons mené un projet d’amélioration de la qualité visant à mettre en place un atelier éducatif sur la sécurité culturelle auprès des patient·e·s noirs. L’atelier s’appuyait sur le cadre théorique de l’enquête relationnelle et comprenait une analyse documentaire, une analyse de l’environnement et des consultations. Il avait pour objectif d’encourager les prestataires de soins à réfléchir à leurs propres préjugés, tout en approfondissant leur compréhension des besoins en santé des patient·e·s noirs, en particulier de la population afro-néo-écossaise. Résultats : La séance a été offerte et les rétroactions découlant de l’évaluation ont fait état d’expériences positives et d’une certaine amélioration des connaissances. Les participant·e·s ont pris part à des discussions difficiles sur les préjugés et la discrimination, tant dans leur milieu de travail qu’à titre personnel. Conclusion : La sensibilisation à la sécurité culturelle peut avoir des retombées positives sur l’attitude des prestataires de soins de santé. Les soins de santé sont multidimensionnels pour les personnes noires; les prestataires de soins de santé doivent comprendre l’intersection entre le racisme envers les personnes noires et la santé. Rebâtir la confiance avec la communauté noire, reconnaître les torts causés et accroître la représentation dans le système de santé sont essentiels pour réduire les inégalités dans le domaine de la santé chez les personnes noires. Pour restaurer la relation entre les communautés afro-néo-écossaises et le système de santé, une réflexion critique et des mesures ciblées sont nécessaires. La sensibilisation à la sécurité culturelle peut amorcer un changement.
