It also explored how students' knowledge in this area was assessed. A total of 28 papers were selected and analysed within this review.<\/jats:p><jats:p>The review found that there is great of variation in how universities teach and evaluate knowledge of this subject area. Some use a mix of online and face\u2010to\u2010face classes; it may be taught as a one off class or integrated throughout the entire curriculum. Activities like cultural immersion are also used.<\/jats:p><jats:p>While many studies showed that students' knowledge and attitudes improved after learning about First Nations health, it is unclear if this education affects how the students practice as health\u2010care professionals once they graduate, and if this has any impact on the health care and outcomes for First Nations people.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Further research in this area is needed, focussing on how various teaching methods affect student learning, and how to accurately measure cultural safety. It should also consider the impact of culturally safe care on First Nations people's health and wellbeing.<\/jats:p><jats:p>This review has some limitations. It only reviewed studies published in English and did not fully explore Indigenous teaching methods, nor did it consider the impact this innovation has on future practice as a health\u2010care professional.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/1440-1630.70011","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,27]],"date-time":"2025-03-27T00:58:50Z","timestamp":1743037130000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Cultural safety and First Nations health content within tertiary education for undergraduate health\u2010care students: A scoping review"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"72","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-8293-1858","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vicki","family":"Tillott","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Southern Cross University  Coffs Harbour New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stuart","family":"Barlo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Southern Cross University  Lismore New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michelle","family":"Donelly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Southern Cross University  Bilinga Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Beth Mozolic","family":"Staunton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bond University  Robina Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tarunna","family":"Sebastian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Sydney  Camperdown New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12968\/bjcn.2016.21.1.44"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1108\/jme-03-2021-0033"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","unstructured":"Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency and National Boards.
