These people are facing many problem and faces discriminate due to the poverty, faces racism, lack of education and employment. This causes the bad effect on their health as they receive less or no quality of care. In context of these people, this assignment will focuses on the influence and promoting the healthcare which are providing to these people by a healthcare practitioner.
Task
1. Reflect on how your own culture and your professional culture, influences your understanding of the content for each day. Further reflect on how this influences your perceptions of and interactions with Australia’s First Peoples in health care.
My culture is belong from Buddhism of Sri- Lanka. This culture in the society is widely diffused according to the class and caste. In the country and from being a Sri Lankan, the class is determined by the concept of education and wealth and in class is determined by the birth of an individual in a determined status. As being a Sri Lankan citizen, my experience is that in Sri Lanka the care practitioners are providing a well developed infrastructures and supplies. They also include Ayurvedic mode to heal people from physically as well as emotionally.
The doctors and health care workers are trained in allopathic medicine. The culture of my country with the health practitioners also used some other healing rituals and other caste based professionals. My culture helps many healthcare practitioners in their personal and professional life. It helps the healthcare practitioners and as well as me by giving more guidelines and ethics to the physicians. The Buddhism culture helps me the working ethics such as kindness, autonomy, compassion and equality to treat people.
When interaction with Australia's first people, the culture helps me to interact with the them more kindness and generosity. The culture also taught me to work in proper ethics and rules in medical care so that they can treat from their stress (Ashfield and et. al., 2017). When the interacting with these people I found that they were discriminate from the society including from doctors so my culture and professional culture influences me to build the morale of these people and treat them with holistic. My culture influences me to interact the all people in equality so that they can share the social problem.
2 Analyseothers world views and/or assumptions and consider some of the underlying causes, effects and impacts of this on Australia’s First People.
The first people of Australia faces many racism due to their beliefs from world wide. This influences on the people's life by affecting them physically which includes emotionally, socially.
The cause of discriminate from the society to Australia's first people is occur due to their culture (Barton and et. al., 2015). The culture of these people is different from other people of Australia residents. So, they show racism towards these people which leads the discrimination from the society. Due to their strong beliefs in their culture, they seem to be different from other citizens of Australia. So, this cause the adverse effect on their life which includes physically, socially and mentally.
The effect of discrimination on these first people of Australia is occur by increasing the challenges and problems in their daily life requirements. They suffer lots of problem in gaining the education and this cause the result is unemployment. These people suffer lots of lack of healthcare services as the doctors entreat them. The effect on these people life is occur most in the education sector. They facing the big problem from this sector as they are discriminate from the society (Staff and et. al., 2017). The effect also occur from the environment as they are mistreated by doctors and this will impacting on their social life. This effects on their mental state and disease.
The impact of this on first people occur on their physically, socially and emotionally state. They suffer from lots of unemployment and noneducational. Due to the lack of building relationships with people they face lots of discrimination with in the society and they start suffer from stress which is most common symptoms in between these people.
