In Saskatchewan, patients access pre-surgical assessments for hip and knee replacements at urban multidisciplinary clinics, and rural and remote residents face significant barriers to accessing these services. Indigenous Peoples experience disproportionally higher rates of arthritis and additional barriers accessing appropriate care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The objective of this project was to identify the unique needs, strengths, and preferences of First Nation and M\u00e9tis Peoples in accessing and receiving care for TJR.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An explorative qualitative approach.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This study involved semi-structured qualitative interviews with 7 First Nation and M\u00e9tis community members who have had or are awaiting hip or knee TJR and 6 orthopedic health care providers who have experience working with First Nation and M\u00e9tis patients undergoing TJR. Health care providers included men and women, Indigenous and non-Indigenous participants. Community member participants completed a demographic and health questionnaire prior to the interview, with descriptive statistics used to determine participant characteristics. Ages of First Nation and M\u00e9tis community members ranged from 43 to 75 years old (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">M<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 59.57,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">SD<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 10.66).
