Just another Credlin /beat-up to suck in the shock jock audience.
The media has a lot to answer for creating havoc, my wife works in a birth unit, says its no big deal. (No more than any other culture, Muslim, hindu, etc)
Credlin gets it from Jones and they both pray on the shallowness and racial tensions of the aged and cognitively challenged. (A La Trump - What do you get in the front row of a Trump rally? - Ans:- cumulatively, maybe a full set of teeth and a total IQ of about 160 - between them all)
spreading BS is never going to help. 15 seconds to find and read this online and I knew the outcome before I started.
"
but there’s no requirement to “announce” anything. The nurses must simply abide by the new code which state clearly that “cultural safety is as important to quality care as clinical safety”"
How far did you have to read into the posted article to find out it was BS? Not very Far!
Principle 3: Cultural practice and respectful relationships.
Value:- Nurses engage with people as individuals in a culturally safe and respectful way, foster open and honest
professional relationships, and adhere to their obligations about privacy and confidentiality.
3.1 Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples’ health
Australia has always been a culturally and linguistically diverse nation. Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander
peoples have inhabited and cared for the land as the first peoples of Australia for millennia, and their histories
and cultures have uniquely shaped our nation. Understanding and acknowledging historic factors such as
colonisation and its impact on Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples’ health helps inform care. In
particular, Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples bear the burden of gross social, cultural and health
inequality. In supporting the health of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples, nurses must:
a. provide care that is holistic, free of bias and racism, challenges belief based upon assumption and is
culturally safe and respectful for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples
b. advocate for and act to facilitate access to quality and culturally safe health services for Aboriginal and/or
Torres Strait Islander peoples, and
c. recognise the importance of family, community, partnership and collaboration in the healthcare decisionmaking
of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples, for both prevention strategies and care delivery.
