Download or read book Aboriginal Healthworkers written by Bill Genat and published by ISBS. This book was released on 2006 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aboriginal healthworkers are employed by Australian primary health care services to help bridge the gap between the Western medical clinic and their own kin. Much controversy surrounds what they can and should be doing. Aboriginal Healthworkers looks at what healthworkers do, what they think about their work, and how their work is perceived by doctors, nurses, social workers, transport workers, and, crucially, their Aboriginal clients. The author's unique contribution brings ethnographic methods to his study of a group of urban healthworkers, and allows their voices to be heard. Healthworkers speak frankly about the state of Aboriginal primary health care in Australia. Daily visits to homes of families whose health continues to be eroded by the historical legacy of exclusion, cultural oppression, and racism highlight the serious lack of professional recognition and support. In response, this powerful book portrays the unique healing practice offered by Aboriginal healthworkers and urges that practical steps be taken to bolster their holistic approach.

Book excerpt: Information collected during the interviews and focus group discussions revealed that Aboriginal health workers undertook a range of work activities and performed a number of different roles. They hold a holistic view of health and were committed to providing culturally appropriate primary health care services to the Aboriginal people. The study found that Aboriginal health workers in the Great Southern and South West regions received different amounts of orientation and training to become qualified. Many health workers believed that they received little or no recognition of their formal qualifications from management, health personnel or government, and that there was confusion about their classifications and pay levels relevant to their positions. Most health workers believed the regulations governing their organisations were in conflict with the holistic health services that they strive to deliver, and some believed that restrictive financial constraints on their organisation hindered them from providing effective services. Finally, the general feeling amongst health workers was that they needed more support from managers in all areas of their work.
