A Saskatchewan social work professor hopes new research can improve the lives of Indigenous people living with HIV in a province with the highest rate of infection.
Over the last decade, Andrew Eaton, a professor at the University of Regina, has been developing a cognitive remediation group therapy program for people living with HIV.“People living with HIV are like everybody else in that we are all aging and susceptible to age-related conditions. But HIV itself can also cause distinct cognitive impairment,” Eaton said.
“Acknowledging a person's culture and respecting their cultural norms, values and traditions is one major way that we can provide that sensitivity and safeness within healthcare.” Eaton is consulting First Nations and Metis elders and knowledge keepers, as well as groups like APSS, to develop a culturally sensitive CRGT that will be accessible and accepted by Indigenous patients.
Eaton hopes to have the CRGT program up and running in First Nations communities and rural and remote areas within the next year.
