Tracking Australian cultural safety journal articles. This 2016 article pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27605522/ cast First Nations Australians as a minority ethnic population and cultural and linguistically diverse. #culturalsafety I'm neither ethnic or CALD, but First by a long time.

Tracking Australian Cultural Safety Journal Articles. This is a superficial article, ro.ecu.edu.au/aihjournal/v..., like a fruit sticker, the cultural safety sticker is used in research tokenistically: no empirical, intellectual, or methodological discussion of #culturalsafety. Nice research though!

Tracking Australian Cultural Safety articles. This junk "research" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... is superficial, with poor logical arguments, a dodgy method, many propositional faults, a silly reference (Hall 2021), & low strategic value. #culturalsafety

Tracking Australian Cultural Safety Research. This www.publish.csiro.au/py/py15050 prime example of cultural safety tokenism, no ethics reported, no research governance oversight, poor survey methodology, confirmation bias, demonstrates disrespect for research processes, pay $35! #culturalsafety

Back after Easter. Tracking Australian Cultural Safety Journal Articles. This is superficial research doi.org/10.1016/j.wo... because of no intellectual, theoretical, methodological, or empirical justification for the use of cultural safety; how is it linked to cultural capability? #culturalsafety

Tracking Australian Cultural Safety Journal Articles. This 1994 article ajie.atsis.uq.edu.au/acs/article/... links reflexivity, action research, & cultural safety - the 1st to do so. Also, Eckermann et al.'s (1992) 'Binaan Goonj' has the 1st Australian definition of cultural safety. #culturalsafety

Tracking Australian Cultural Safety Articles. Although not a research article, this perspective on critical reflection from 4 non-First Nations peoples is a good (sensitive, respectful, honest, & genuine) read: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #culturalsafety

Tracking Australian Cultural Safety Journal Articles. This superficial article, doi.org/10.24083/apj..., stunning lack of rigour, made-up definition of cultural safety, lax literature review, absence of positionality & reflexivity. Opinion dressed up as research. #culturalsafety
