Assessment2-GroupWork&Presentation– 30%

This assessment item is designed to critically examine the adverse health outcomes that are impacting on the health of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples. The online group discussion posts will allow students to comment on the learnt course materials and interact, support and gain knowledge from their peers through evidence-based practice.

Step 1:

Students are required to pick a health concern (disease), that is a current burden of health experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from the list below. You should choose the topic you would like to research and a topic that you want to broaden your knowledge on.

• EarHealth (Otitis Media)
• EyeHealth (e.g., Trachoma)
• infant mortality
• TypeII Diabetes
• CardiovascularDisease (be specific g., Rheumatic Heart Disease)
• Cancer (be specific g., Lung Cancer)
• RespiratoryDisease (Be specific g., COPD)
• Alcoholism and Substance Abuse
• mental health
• ChronicKidney Disease

(If you would like to research a different health concern that is not listed you must emailyour allocated tutor for approval and to be eligible to continue with Part A and Part B oftheassessmenttask).

Once you have chosen your topic, each student is to start a thread (post) about their chosen topic in their allocated Assessment discussion group on Canvas (this can be found in the

‘Assignments’ tab under ‘Assessment 2 Part A’).

In your thread/post you are to begin brainstorming your chosen burden of health topic by answering the following three questions:

1. What is your chosen disease (burden of health) experienced by Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples?

2. How does this burden of health impact the quality of life for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people? Answer this question from three perspectives -a statistical view, health outcomes, and a cultural lens.

3. Why are you interested in this topic?

You must include correct APA7thacademic referencing.

NOTE: DO NOT use ‘Creative Spirits’ or ‘Australians Together’ as resources as these are culturally inappropriate.

Step 2:Once you have started your thread/post, you are to continue brainstorming (by adding posts to your thread) extra information needed to answer Part B. This can be simply uploading journal articles or resources to support your learning with a brief explanation of what the resource is, and how its relevant.

Students must add an additional 3 posts/resources to their thread to receive full marks in this section.

Step 3:Students are to then collaborate with their peers within their allocated tutorial group. This will demonstrate interprofessional relationships by sharing resources and knowledge to benefit Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients.

Studentsare torespondtoaminimumof3peer's threads/posts. This can consist of sharing a journal article/ resource and/or providing critical commentary on literature about their chosen topic. This sharing must be relevant and useful to meet the requirement for full marks. (Simple comments such as “Good topic choice” or “Thank you for sharing” do notcountasresponses.Please referto the rubric).

To attain full markin thiscomponent studentsarerequired to;

1. Complete their initial post/thread answering all THREEquestions to a satisfactorylevel

2. AddanadditionalTHREEusefulposts/resourcestotheirownthread

3. Respond to a minimum of THREEother students’ threads with useful resources and

This section will be marked on the discussion board and will NOT need to be formally submitted. Part A must be completed by Sunday,26thMarch2023by11.59pm.

(Due to the requirements of this section, it is strongly advised to begin working on these 1-2weekspriortoallowtimeforstudentstocontributeandrespondtothreads)

Part B;

You are a Registered Nurse working on the ward in a metropolitan hospital and have been tasked to create and conduct this week’s In-service for your colleagues. The topic this month is health concerns that are a current burden of health experienced by Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Students are to use their research findings from ‘Part A’ and collate their information to

deliver to their colleagues in an educational presentation.

You are to prepare an engaging PowerPoint presentation on your chosen health concern that includes a 10-minute oral recording delivered in an educational manner. This can be attached to your presentation via PowerPoint as a voice over to each individual slide OR can be recorded on Canvas via Panopto OR Zoom and submitted online.

The presentation should include 6-8slidesas a guide, and must cover the following:

• Title slide
• Acknowledgment of Country
• Introduction(Chosenhealth concern and why it is important)
• Background(Impactofdisease,fatality,risk factors,statistical support)
• Historical impact (Describe how history has impacted the health of Aboriginal andTorresStraitIslanderpeoplesin relation to the chosen burden of health),
• Outcome (Why is culturally appropriate care important in this case? Is current practice working?)
• Education (Present and discuss ONE culturally appropriate health promotion program or resource specific to your chosen burden of health)
• Reference slide(APA7thacademicreferencingstyle)

Each aspect should be done respectfully, and supported by contemporary, relevant literature (within the last 10 years).
