Abstract
Being healthy is key to women in carrying out roles in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander life; heart disease impacts women’s capacity to do this. The aim of this program was to understand what keeps the heart strong or can make it sick, building on Aboriginal women’s worldviews and knowledge to guide health services and systems. An interdisciplinary approach was applied, centred on Aboriginal ways of working and governed by an Aboriginal Women’s Advisory Group. Aboriginal women have described what keeps the heart healthy: culture and spirit, and social, emotional and physical wellbeing. There is a need to: advocate for a holistic response to environmental, social, political and economic determinants; co-design cultural models of health promotion and disease prevention and; enhance access to and quality of heart health assessment and management in primary health services.
