Download or read book Indigenous Students Journeys to and Through Allied Healthcare Programs written by and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communication between practitioner and patient is key in developing a trusting clinical relationship. However, interactions between Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander patients and medical and allied health practitioners can be problematic due to cultural misunderstandings. Many Indigenous people have reported poor past experiences with their non-Indigenous healthcare providers, a significant barrier to the delivery of successful health care for Indigenous people (Downing et al., 2011). Building capacity in the Indigenous health workforce has been suggested as one way of improving the healthcare experience, thereby enhancing Indigenous health outcomes. At the time of writing, Indigenous people were poorly represented in healthcare professions with 0.4% of medical professionals and 0.4% of allied healthcare professionals identifying as Indigenous (IAHA, 2018; AMA, 2014). Publicly available statistics on the percentage of Indigenous practitioners for many healthcare professions can be found by searching the appropriate regulatory body. However, the numbers of Indigenous students within healthcare fields, particularly the allied health fields, are less well known. Examining Indigenous student participation for specific allied health professions was therefore one aim of the current Fellowship. This report details the findings and recommendations from the National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education [NCSEHE] Research Fellowship entitled Indigenous Participation in Higher Degree and Vocational Education Healthcare Programs. This one-year study investigated the national profile of Indigenous students enrolled in select higher education and vocational education allied healthcare study, as well as the institutional factors linked with success in access and retention. In undertaking the Fellowship, existing research and policy documents were considered including the Behrendt Review (2012), the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workforce Strategic Framework - 2016-2023, and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Curriculum Framework.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines a collaborative partnership model between academia and Indigenous peoples, the goal of which is to integrate Indigenous perspectives into the curriculum. It demonstrates how the authentic and creative approaches employed have led to an evolution of curriculum and pedagogy that facilitates cultural competence among Australian graduate and undergraduate students. The book pursues an interdisciplinary approach based on highly practical examples, exemplars and methods that are currently being used to teach in this area. It focuses on facilitating student acquisition of knowledge, understanding, attitudes and skills, following Charles Sturt University’s Cultural Competence Pedagogical Framework. Further, it provides insights into the use of reflective practice in this context, and practical ideas on embedding content and sharing practices, highlighting examples of potential “ways forward,” both nationally and globally.
Download or read book Discerning Success of Indigenous Health Students in Community based Programs written by Marti Harder and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-secondary educational institutions have partnered with Indigenous groups to provide community-based healthcare programs. In a qualitative study, eight participants from a northern British Columbia community were interviewed about their descriptions of success, and its influencing factors in a community-based healthcare program. The core theme of courage and categorical themes of nurturing the learning, owning the learning, and discerning success for learning emerged from the data, which revealed changes in students' lives as they moved through their schooling. Conclusions were: 1) Courage was needed to overcome fears and barriers during students' education; 2) Receiving nurturing through a whole-person approach promoted success; 3) Students' journeys were fostered through the support of others; 4) Students learning to believe in themselves was a key element of success; and 5) Collective community success was experienced when students were successful in a program. The importance of community voices may contribute towards planning future healthcare programs.

Download or read book Heritage Indigenous Doing and Wellbeing written by Norm Sheehan and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-15 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heritage, Indigenous Doing and Wellbeing presents an Australian Aboriginal relational understanding of the world that offers a counter-narrative to the Western notion of heritage towards new insights into the potential for sustaining the complex systems that support all life. From an Indigenous Australian perspective, the Western concept of heritage is intentionally exclusionary and supports social, political, economic and environmental injustice. Aboriginal people engage with Australia’s lands, waters, and skies every day in entirely different ways, seeing their Country as a living ‘heritage’, but in a unique relationship that engages the individual with Place, Ancestors, Language, and wellbeing analogous to a familial relationship. However, Country is most often relegated by heritage proponents to ‘intangible heritage’ resulting in the concept having little legislative, legal or administrative weight. Drawing on a common understanding of Country as sacred, living and sentient, rather than as objectified property or resource, the contributors to this book explore a diversity of relationships with Country that demonstrate the richness and the practical utility of this relational understanding. Heritage, Indigenous Doing and Wellbeing foregrounds the voices of Australian Aboriginal Peoples who are involved in ‘Caring for Country’. The book offers an essential resource for those engaged in the study of Country, heritage, museums, Indigenous Peoples, First Nations Peoples, landscape architecture, environmental studies, planning, anthropology and archaeology. It will also be of great interest to heritage practitioners working around the globe.
