[email protected] Unit rationale In the health profession it is a requirement that you are able to perform person-centred care in a culturally competent manner. This requirement exists because all people deserve to be treated with respect and dignity regardless of their beliefs, values or attitudes. This unit provides the foundation for culturally competent practice through the lens of Indigenous Australian culture to ensure graduates enter the workforce as culturally competent practitioners. Description The social-historical-political context, cultural knowledges, and related health issues of Indigenous peoples across the world and in Australia will be the focus of this unit. The concept of globalisation will be introduced and explored with reference to the health of Indigenous peoples. Students will then examine the historical context of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ health, contemporary issues in healthcare provision, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ ways of knowing, being and doing. The impact of current strategies to close the gap in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health care will be examined, along with ways that the health care system can respond to the health needs of this group. The notion of culturally competent care will be introduced, and students will start to develop knowledge and skills needed to provide culturally competent care to people from diverse cultural backgrounds. The content of this unit will provide health students with a solid foundation on which to build cultural competency across their undergraduate program – knowledge and skills that they will need to apply to their future health care practice. Aligned with cultural competence are principles of community engagement – in this unit, students will be introduced to community engagement and explore how they can apply these principles throughout their time at ACU and beyond. HLSC120-Indigenous Health and Culture -201860 Page 2 of 17 Mode: This unit is offered in attendance mode only Attendance pattern: 80% attendance to yarning circles Duration: This unit is over a 10 week semester and you should anticipate undertaking 150 hours of study for this unit, including class attendance, readings and assignment preparation LEARNING OUTCOMES The unit Indigenous Culture and Health is a professional program that requires development of particular attributes for accreditation purposes. These are also included in the learning outcomes. The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) supports a host of National Boards and includes disciplines relevant to this unit of study in Nursing and Midwifery, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Paramedicine and Psychology. This unit contributes to meeting those accreditation standards through the representative National Boards http://www.ahpra.gov.au/Education/Accreditation-Authorities.aspx On successful completion of this unit, you should be able to: 1. discuss the health consequences of globalisation as it relates to population groups, health practices and health care service delivery, with particular reference to indigenous populations; (GA2) 2. discuss the implications of socio-historical-political context for contemporary health related issues of the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples; (GA2) 3. critically evaluate how social and cultural factors shape the health beliefs, experiences and outcomes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and other cultural groups; (GA4) 4. apply the principles of cultural safety to enable culturally sensitive care to be applied across a range of populations and health care settings, but with particular reference to socially and culturally marginalized populations; (GA1) 5. work respectfully with others to effectively communicate an understanding of cross-cultural indigenous health care issues; (GA5, 7) 6. demonstrate understanding of principles of community engagement.

All Australian universities have their expected graduate attributes – ACU’s Graduate Attributes have a greater emphasis on ethical behaviour and community responsibility than those of many other universities. All of your units will enable you to develop some attributes. On successful completion of this unit, you should have developed your ability to: GA1 demonstrate respect for the dignity of each individual and for human diversity GA2 recognise your responsibility to the common good, the environment and society GA4 think critically and reflectively GA5 demonstrate values, knowledge, skills and attitudes appropriate to the discipline and/or profession GA7 work both autonomously and collaboratively CONTENT Topics will include: The health consequences of globalisation with particular reference to o Social determinants of health o Inequities in health status o Global First Nation peoples’ health Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health o Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders’ ways of knowing, being and doing o Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders’ traditional ways of healing o History and consequences of colonisation on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples o Acute and chronic conditions, co-morbidity and disability amongst Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples o Racism and the impact on Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander peoples o Effect of government policy on health and social wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ health care provision o Policy and community initiatives in health care, including the Closing the Gap strategies o Primary Health Care approach o Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health care workers o Self-determination and Aboriginal Controlled Community Healthcare Organisations o Reconciliation Cultural competencies in health care o Definitions and debates around cultural competence o Knowledge and skills in the provision of culturally competent care HLSC120-Indigenous Health and Culture -201860 Page 4 of 17 Using a strengths approach Providing culturally appropriate care Multidisciplinary and multisectorial healthcare Introduction to community engagement in health o Principles of working collaboratively with communities, capacity building, reciprocity and transformative learning QUALITY ASSURANCE AND STUDENT FEEDBACK This unit has been evaluated through the ‘Student Evaluation of Learning and Teaching’ (SELT) online surveys. Following the first semester offering feedback was received specific to assessment items and wording of some requirements. Consequently some minor changes to assessment items together with their associated marking rubrics have been changed. SELT surveys are usually conducted at the end of the teaching period. Your practical and constructive feedback is valuable to improve the quality of the unit. Please ensure you complete the SELT survey for the unit. You can also provide feedback at other times to the unit lecturers, course coordinators and/or through student representatives. LEARNING AND TEACHING STRATEGY AND RATIONALE This unit requires students to undertake 150 hours of focused learning to achieve the unit learning outcomes. Learning associated with this unit incorporates face-to-face teaching activities (lectures and tutorials) online activities, preparation and generation of assessment items and self-directed study. Students are expected to take responsibility for their individual learning and to participate actively within group activities. On Campus: Lecture/Resource Session: 2 hours weekly Tutorial/ yarning circles 1 hour weekly Online: Five (5) eLearning modules RATIONALE FOR UNIT TEACHING AND LEARNING STRATEGIES Students entering university need significant support to transition into a learning and teaching environment where they are required to drive their own learning. To guide students in their learning, feedback is required to identify what is being done well, what requires additional work and to identify progress toward required learning outcomes. Located in the first year of the program, this theory unit includes significant face-to-face teaching hours and a directed online component to introduce students to managing their study off-campus. Lectures are utilised to convey content and its central principles while HLSC120-Indigenous Health and Culture -201860 Page 5 of 17 tutorials deliver interactive learning sessions which include formative feedback to build foundational tertiary study skills while also providing an opportunity to establish group- work and learning community skills. Online materials are introduced to provide students with a foundation for ongoing, directed, self-motivated study. LECTURE CAPTURE Lectures will be made available to all students on the National Unit LEO site. These lectures will be provided in power point PDF form prior to the actual lecture delivery. Recorded lectures will also be provided to students via lecture capture ECHO 360 SCHEDULE For the most up-to-date information, please check your LEO unit and also note advice from your lecturing and tutoring staff for changes to this schedule.
