Introduction
Australia is becoming more multicultural country day by day, due to the factors like immigration, refugee resettlement etc. Therefore, it is a need of current time that our country should be well prepared to face these positive changes, but, sometimes, there is a lack of preparedness. However, Australia has low burden of tuberculosis, and it is a high-income country. For low-burden countries, addressing the unique requirements of migrants is a top priority, and in the majority of these nations, this includes routinely screening for active TB. CITATION Jam22 l 3081 (James M Trauer, 2022)Background
The population for tuberculosis is highly concentrated in migrants. According to a report out of 2,381,217 migration application (mostly from Asia), 1263 applicants get diagnosed with TB. This number also includes 852 cases of bacterial infection. Therefore, the prevalence for tuberculosis in Australia is 53.0 per 100,000. CITATION Mic22 l 3081 (Micheal G Flynn, 2022)The age range of 25 to 44 years saw the highest number of active TB diagnoses, accounting for over half of all diagnoses, however the prevalence rates progressively rose as people aged. Even though only 16.3% of all cases of active TB involved candidates who had previously had TB treatment, the prevalence of TB was significantly greater in this group (2140.9 per 100,000). CITATION The22 l 3081 (care, 2022) The initial discovery of the importance of the TB burden in the nation of origin. Applicants for visas to Australia from China, India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Vietnam may be less representative of the larger community with relation to TB exposure due to the significantly lower prevalence of disease among them compared to the reported population-wide prevalence in these countries. CITATION Mic22 l 3081 (Micheal G Flynn, 2022)Despite the rise of tuberculosis, many countries' health expenditures are being impacted by economic problems. According to estimates, maternal mortality is increased by tuberculosis in terms of the number of fatalities among women who are childbearing age. Along with a number of other illnesses, tuberculosis has a high morbidity and mortality rate. According to a World Bank, WHO, and Harvard University study, 8.7 million healthy years of life are lost to tuberculosis every year among women aged 15 to 44, compared to 3.6 million from HIV and two million from malaria. CITATION Den12 l 3081 (Ahlburg, 2012)Although men are more likely to contract tuberculosis than women, women are equally or more likely to develop the disease. This shows that, at least at some ages, women are more prone than males to go from infection to illness. In prospective studies of tuberculosis patients in developing nations, Holmes et al. (1998) discovered that women in their reproductive years had higher rates of disease progression, higher case-fatality rates (the ratio of tuberculosis-related deaths to the total number of tuberculosis cases), and higher mortality rates (deaths due to tuberculosis per 100 000 population). CITATION Den12 l 3081 (Ahlburg, 2012)Health intervention program
To create awareness of tuberculosis in CALD an effective health promotion plan is required. According to this plan, the main purpose is to provide as much information and awareness about the health impacts of tuberculosis in CALD. This health promotion plan offers guidelines to health organisations about continuous efforts to guarantee that patients with varied cultural and linguistic backgrounds may get safe, high-quality, and person-centred healthcare. This Plan is intended to create an equitable health system where language and cultural needs are acknowledged and taken into account when developing policies and providing services. The Plan aims to achieve the following outcomes:
a health system that is culturally sensitive;
accessible and high-quality care for all consumers;
increased health literacy among consumers and health personnel; and
utilisation of knowledge of consumer health needs to guide work.
The plan outline
According to Ottawa Charter strategies, in this health promotion plan, we focused to enable the culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds people to access the tuberculosis information and to obtain high quality health services to treat and diagnose tuberculosis. The mediation can be done through the language interpreters and create awareness in healthcare professionals about culture and language diversity. CITATION org22 l 3081 (organization, 2022)Aim(s)
People from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds will have access to relevant health information
they will also be able to obtain high-quality health services that take into account their linguistic and cultural needs.
Objectives
The healthcare organisations are responsive to the needs, language, and culture of each individual patient.
The healthcare industry helps people from varied cultural and linguistic backgrounds increase their health literacy so they can take an active role in making decisions about their health.
Timeframe
The timeframe for this health promotion plan is 12 months.
In first month involves targeting of cultural and linguistic population group, and then dividing the group into healthy and who requires treatment for tuberculosis.
The next 2nd and 3rd month the local government can use to allocate the funding and implement new policies if required.
The 4th month can be used to design the mass media, advertisement and pamphlets in different languages.
In following 5th to 8th month, the implementation can be done.
The 9th to 11th month is a review period.
In 12th month the program outcome will be reported.
Stakeholders
The stakeholders in this Healthcare plan are following-
Healthcare organisation: The healthcare organisations have to work towards the communication of tuberculosis awareness information. They have to do recruitments for interpreters and set a budget towards the cultural awareness, which include cultural training of employees, printing tuberculosis information pamphlets in different languages which includes sign language also.
Healthcare workers: It is healthcare workers responsibility to take part in the cultural training. The best care can only be given in a way that the patient will accept, and this is the job of the healthcare practitioner in the setting of culture. This entails using general cultural knowledge as hypotheses rather than preconceptions. We are not supposed to be specialists in every culture. Consider whatever "facts" you have learnt regarding cultural factors as a possibility. The patient is the best source of cultural knowledge. Avoid assuming anything and refrain from trying to cast doubt on the facts.
Cultural and linguistic diverse society: It is governments responsibility to develop awareness in the society. This can be done by mass media, which includes advertising through social media, multi-lingual information pamphlets etc.
Local government: The government is the main body, who can make the policies for the foundations of a culturally aware country. The government should have to provide financial grants to healthcare organisations, so that they can use financial resources for tuberculosis awareness in multicultural society.
