RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The colonization of Australia is responsible for complex layers of trauma for the First Nations peoples of the continent. First Nations Australians' well-being is irrevocably tied to the well-being of the land. The application of a landscape-based approach to collaborative research shows promise in enabling genuine relationships that yield rich and informative data. However, there is a lack of practical evidence in the field of landscape research-research tied to First Nations Australians' worldviews of landscape. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to deepen shared knowledges of well-being and healing on Australian soils. We aim to examine ritual co-design as a novel method for deepening these shared knowledges. METHODS: This research comprises a qualitative and participatory action research design operationalized through an Indigenist approach. It is a 2-phase project that is co-designed with First Nations Australians. Phase 1 of this project is a relational study that endeavors to deepen the theory underpinning the project, alongside the development of meaningful and reciprocal community connections. Phase 2 is a series of 3 participatory action research cycles to co-design a new communal ritual. This process seeks to privilege First Nations Australians' voices and ways of knowing, which are themselves communal, ritual, and symbolic. The framework developed by psychiatrist Carl Jung informs the psychological nature of the enquiry. An Indigenist approach to landscape research recasts the Jungian frame to enable a culturally safe, context-specific, and landscape-based method of qualitative research. RESULTS: The research is in the preliminary stages of participant recruitment. It is expected that data collection will commence in late 2022. CONCLUSIONS: It is expected that this qualitative and co-designed project will strengthen the cross-cultural co-designer relationships and that the data gathered from these relationships, and the accompanying practical outcomes, will provide new insight into the interaction between human and landscape well-being. The field of landscape research is in an embryonic phase. This new field is embedded in the understanding that First Nations Australians' well-being is irrevocably tied to the well-being of the land, and this study seeks to build on this evidence base. A strength of this research is the relational methodology, in which First Nations Peoples' needs and desires will inform future research directions. It is limited by its context specific nature; however, it is expected that findings will be usable in guiding future research directions in the multidisciplinary field of landscape research.

RESUMO
Gravidez tardia é a gestação que ocorre na faixa etária de 35 anos ou mais. O apoio social é um processo dinâmico e complexo que envolve transações entre indivíduos e suas redes sociais. O objetivo geral foi averiguar possíveis relações entre o apoio social e variáveis sociodemográficas e gestacionais em gestantes tardias. A pesquisa é considerada descritiva e correlacional e de corte transversal, foi realizada com 150 gestantes tardias em Unidades Básicas de Saúde. Os instrumentos utilizados foram: Questionário Estruturado (dados sociodemográficos e gestacionais) e a Escala de Apoio Social. A maioria das gestantes apresentou baixa renda e escolaridade, tinha em média 37,5 anos de idade (DP = 2,6), além de não ter planejado a gravidez (60,7%). Prevaleceram indicadores elevados de apoio social global, material, emocional, afetivo, de informação e de interação social positiva. E nenhuma das variáveis sociodemográficas e gestacionais apresentaram correlações estatisticamente significativas com o apoio social global
Late-age pregnancy is gestation that occurs around age 35 or older. A social support is a dynamic and complex process involving interactions between individuals and their social networks. The general aim of this research was to investigate possible relationships between social support and socio-demographic and gestational variables in late-age pregnants. Cross-sectional co-relational and descriptive research was conducted with 150 late-age pregnant women in Basic Health Units. The instruments used were: Structured Questionnaire (demographic and gestational data) and the Scale of Social Support. Most of the interviewed women had low income and education, were in average 37,5 (±2,6) years, had not planned the pregnancy (60.7%). High indicators of global social support, material, emotional, affective, information and positive social interaction prevailed. And none of the socio-demographic and gestational variables showed statistically significant correlations with the global social support
