Part 1: Research and knowledge questions

Read each question carefully. Your answer should be a minimum of 10 words but no longer than 100 words.

  1. Define the principles of cultural awareness. CORRECT

Being sensitive to the similarities and contrasts between two distinct cultures and using that sensitivity to effectively communicate with people from various cultural groups is the basic principle of cultural awareness.

  1. Define the principles of cultural competence. CORRECT

Regarding the planning, execution, and evaluation of health education and promotion initiatives, cultural competency refers to an individual's ability to identify and respect culturally specific norms, values, attitudes, and practices.

  1. Explain how the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth) supports cultural safety? CORRECT

The Australian Parliament approved the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth) on June 11, 1975, under the leadership of the Whitlam administration. The Act supersedes state and territory laws to the extent of any discrepancy and outlaws racial discrimination in certain circumstances in Australia.

  1. Describe your understanding of the diversity of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander cultures. CORRECT

In many different Australian communities, the cultures of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are alive and well. Indigenous groups in Australia continue to preserve a significant range of languages, traditions, ways of life, and kinship relationships. Naturally, the cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are different, with Aboriginal people including a multitude of tribal groupings that speak over 250 languages.

  1. Research and provide a brief description ofthree major historical or ongoing impacts of colonisation affecting Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples (including a bibliography). INCORRECT HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW

Loss of land-Native American tribeswere compelled to move, often hundreds of miles from their ancestral territories to reservations or missions where they were not allowed to follow cultural customs or speak their native languages.

Cultural Genocide and Assimilation Policies: Colonization brought with it the imposition of assimilation policies aimed at eradicating Indigenous cultures and languages

Health Disparities and Socioeconomic Inequities: Colonization has contributed to significant health disparities and socioeconomic inequities experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.

It is important to understand the historical, social, political and economic issues affecting Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples and how this impacts on engagement with community services and health systems. Consider this when answering questions 6-10.

  1. Explain the term Country in relation to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander culture.CORRECT

Aboriginal peoples typically refer to the lands, streams, and seas that they are tied to as their "country." TThe term includes a wide range of complex ideas about the law, place, customs, language, spirituality, cultural practice, family, and identity.

  1. Describe one way how the loss of land/Country has impacted Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander social structure and relationships.CORRECT

One significant way in which the loss of land/Country has impacted Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander social structure and relationships is the disruption of traditional kinship systems and community cohesion.

  1. Describe how Aboriginal peoples relationship with the land ensured economic survival. CORRECT

The inhabitants formed strong bonds with their neighbours and coexisted peacefully with their surroundings. They used fire as a tool to control the land, promote animal development, maintain commerce and strong relationships, and preserve open routes that connected the island for convenient seasonal transit.

  1. Describe one way past and present experiences of racism and discrimination affects Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander engagement with community and health services. CORRECT

It has been shown that racism directed against Indigenous Australians occurs in a range of healthcare contexts and causes psychological discomfort, disengagement from health services, and a failure to seek necessary medical attention. Racism, prejudice, and a lack of cultural awareness continue to cause social injustice and inequality for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Individuals' worldviews, attitudes, and cultural beliefs influence not just how they think and behave, but also how they relate to other people.

Past and present power relationships have impacted Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander engagement with services.

  1. Describe how improved Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander empowerment can lead to greater engagement with services. CORRECT

Improved community involvement, higher trust, and improved access to opportunities are the main ways that increasing Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander empowerment increases service user engagement.

  1. Identify how a persons cultural bias can impact Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples engagement with a service. CORRECT

Cultural prejudice may lead to systemic barriers that hinder Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' access to services. Discrimination, stereotyping, and biases among service providers can create an unwelcoming or hostile environment, discouraging Indigenous individuals from seeking assistance or accessing necessary resources.

  1. Provide two examples of how western systems and structures impact Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples engagement with services. INCORRECT. PLEASE EXPAIN POINT 2.

Indigenous people who are specific to Australia are known as Aboriginals. In order to preserve reconciliation and promote self-determination, the Australian government has put in place a number of laws and regulations. The primary impacts are listed as follows:

1. More Aboriginal individuals among the indigenous community now have access to basic amenities including healthcare, education, and technology. Furthermore, it raised the company's profile globally.
2. The people may not feel strong as a result of the blurring or reducing of the distinctions between members of this elite and ordinary citizens. Because they lack confidence and independence, members of the group may face poverty and unemployment.

  1. Identify the social determinants that impact Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander health and provide an example of a health issue for each determinant. CORRECT

For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, social determinants also include factors such ascultural identity, family, participation in cultural activities and access to traditional lands.

Socioeconomic Status:Indigenous communities with a greater risk of poverty and joblessness have fewer connections to enough healthy food, secure abodes, and health service provisions. Health problems, including malnutrition, chronic diseases, e.g., diabetes and heart conditions, as well as higher infant mortality rates, can be the direct consequence of this phenomenon.

Education:Lower school education completions correlate with health outcome deteriorations. The suggestion that Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander peoples essentially face obstacles to obtaining high-quality education, which ultimately leads to poor health literacy and low employment opportunities, forcing higher risks of mental health illnesses, such as depression and anxiety, is developing.

Housing and Infrastructure:Generally, in most Indigenous communities, overcrowded and substandard housing conditions tend to be the cause of this. This leads to the spread of infectious diseases, such as rough infections and skin conditions. Inadequate sanitation facilities and the lack of proper infrastructure will make spreading infectious diseases easy and worsen already chronic conditions.

Cultural and Social Connections:Spiritual harm, forced displacement, and social discrimination may disturb cultural linkages and the social support network. This may cause mental disabilities and health problems. These social and emotional issues, such as disconnected cultural background and non-community relations, are known to increase the likelihood of substance abuse, self-harm, and suicide among the Indigenous populations.

Access to Healthcare Services:The obstacle of being in a situation where healthcare services, for example, primary care, specialist services and mental health support, are a cultural mismatch may attract. This causes a delay in diagnosing and treating health conditions. Lifelong socioeconomic disadvantages are, thus, the contributing factor, leading to poorer health outcomes among this group, such as the prevalence of preventable diseases and lower life expectancy compared to mainstream society.

  1. Identify the difference between trauma (neurological perspective) and intergenerational trauma. CORRECT

Trauma

Trauma is defined as an upsetting or upsetting event that has a long-lasting effect on a person's physical and mental health from a neurological standpoint. It usually stems from one or more incidents that are very stressful and beyond the person's capacity to handle or process the feelings associated with that experience. Trauma has the neurological potential to alter the structure and function of the brain. It may impact regions such as the hippocampus, which is involved in memory formation and retrieval, the prefrontal cortex, which is involved in decision-making and social behaviour.

Intergenerational trauma

Conversely, the term "intergenerational trauma" describes the transfer of trauma from one generation to the next. Communities that have endured considerable historical trauma or oppression are more vulnerable to the devastating effects of intergenerational trauma. Numerous mental health conditions, such as anxiety, sadness, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), might result from it.

  1. Provide one example of how transgenerational trauma may impact? CORRECT

Transgenerational trauma

Impact

Decision-making

transgenerational trauma can affect decision-making processes by influencing an individual's perceptions of risk, safety, and self-efficacy.

Communicating

Transgenerational trauma can impact communication styles and patterns within families and communities.

A persons interpretation and understanding of service delivery

transgenerational trauma can shape how individuals perceive and interact with service delivery systems. Past experiences of systemic oppression, discrimination, or mistreatment may lead to mistrust or scepticism towards institutions and authority figures

A person who is experiencing high-level trauma

Individuals who are currently experiencing high-level trauma may be further impacted by transgenerational trauma inherited from their ancestors. This can compound their distress and coping mechanisms, as they may carry a burden of unresolved trauma from previous generations in addition to their immediate challenges.

  1. Describe three ways services involve Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples in the planning and delivering programs? CORRECT

Community Consultation and Engagementservices can initiate community consultations and engage with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to identify needs, priorities, and preferences regarding program planning and delivery.

Cultural Responsiveness and Collaborationservices can incorporate cultural responsiveness and collaboration into program planning and delivery by actively involving Indigenous peoples in designing, implementing, and evaluating initiatives.

Capacity Building and Empowermentservices can support capacity building and empowerment within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities by providing opportunities for skill development, leadership training, and community-led initiatives.
