psychological effect (trauma) c
I have realized after reading module 1 to module 4 that historical, political and cultural issue plays a negative and positive role in aboriginal health and life expectancy gap. For instance, stolen generation is one of the historical factors that has a negative impact on aboriginal people health. Stolen generation is defined as separating children forcibly from their families and community (Anderson & Tilton, 2017). Moreover, Children were separated from family make me think about psychological effect (trauma) could happened to aboriginal community that could lead mental health problem such as depression. After seeing the video of National Apology from Prime Minister “kevin Rudd” to indigenous Australian influence my attitude towards Aboriginal and Torres strait Islander people. Government should provide more support in bringing them home campaign.
From this issue, I would like to conclude that there should be equal health access and should not be life expectancy gap between aboriginal and non-aboriginal people. Aboriginal people should have more financial support from government. I believe that I am becoming more conscious about aboriginal people health. Nurses should have specific training to be culturally sensitive when dealing with aboriginal people. Moreover, I need to be aware of working in a culturally safe way as a nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia, 2018)
Similarly, throughout the study of this unit I have achieved new knowledge and developed my belief and attitudes towards aboriginal people. Furthermore, I am more aware about huge life expectancy and health access gap between aboriginal and non-aboriginal people. Thus, as a student nurse, when I undertake clinical placement I will work collaboratively with aboriginal health care worker and respect their cultures and belief. As a future registered nurse, I will contribute to enhancing the health of aboriginal community by providing fully care and respect their culture and values. I am glad that this unit has increase my understanding of difficulties faced by aboriginal and Torres Strait islander that will ultimately help me as a registered nurse in future.
