The urban Indigenous older adult population in Canada continues to grow; however, there is a lack of understanding of how non-Indigenous health and social services and Indigenous-specific organizations are responding to and addressing the growth of this population. Therefore, in this research, we conducted a postcolonial discourse analysis of semi-structured interviews with six decision-makers (e.g., managers and directors of health and social services organizations) and seven service providers (e.g., program coordinators and social workers) from Indigenous and non-Indigenous health and social service organizations in Ottawa, Canada, to examine how they produce understandings of supporting urban Indigenous older adults to age well. The participants produced three main discourses: (a) non-Indigenous organizations have a responsibility to support Indigenous older adults, (b) culturally specific programs and services are important for supporting Indigenous older adults to age well, and (c) it is difficult for community stakeholders to support Indigenous older adults to age well because this population is hard to reach. The results demonstrate the complexities and tensions that community stakeholders face in supporting Indigenous older adults to age well within a sociopolitical environment informed by reconciliation and a sociodemographic trend of an aging population.

殖民地利益相关者对加拿大渥太华城市土著老年人的年龄支持观点的后殖民话语分析

加拿大的城市土著老年人口继续增长;但是,对于非土著人的健康和社会服务以及特定于土著人的组织如何应对和解决这一人口的增长缺乏了解。因此,在这项研究中,我们对来自土著人的六个决策者(例如,卫生和社会服务组织的经理和董事)和七个服务提供者(例如,计划协调员和社会工作者)进行了半结构化访谈的后殖民话语分析。以及加拿大渥太华的非土著健康和社会服务组织,以研究他们如何形成对支持城市土著老年人健康成长的理解。参与者提出了三种主要的话语:(a)非土著组织有责任支持土著老年人,(b)特定于文化的计划和服务对于支持土著老年人的年龄很重要,并且(c)社区利益相关者很难支持土著老年人人口老龄化是因为很难达到。结果表明,在和解和人口老龄化的社会人口统计学趋势的指导下,社区利益相关者在支持土著老年人在社会政治环境中实现良好老龄化方面面临着复杂性和紧张关系。(c)社区利益相关者难以支持土著老年人的年龄,因为该人群难以达到。结果表明,在和解和人口老龄化的社会人口统计学趋势的指导下,社区利益相关者在支持土著老年人在社会政治环境中实现良好老龄化方面面临着复杂性和紧张关系。(c)社区利益相关者难以支持土著老年人的年龄,因为该人群难以达到。结果表明,在和解和人口老龄化的社会人口统计学趋势的指导下,社区利益相关者在支持土著老年人在社会政治环境中实现良好老龄化方面面临着复杂性和紧张关系。
