During Assimilation period,most of the training concentrated on pastoral tasks for males and household tasks for females. In other words,if Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person who wishing to pursue career in professional sector would encounter systemic racism.#nursing1008

In a cultural safety context, health care workers must be conscious of their own culture, values,beliefs,attitudes, which may influence their behaviour consciously or unconsciously towards patients or communities.

@TolangeSwaroop It's also known as traditional medicine and has been passed from generation to generation. Currently, many Ngangkari healers programs are running that provide various services such as a smoking ceremony, bush medicine or spirit realignment. #nursing1008

The Commonwealth parliament passed the Commonwealth Franchise act in 1902,which gives men and women through all states the right to vote in federal elections but denies the right to vote of Aboriginal people in Australia.#nursing1008

Indigenous concepts of mental health are different from western concepts. In Western concept,it focuses on the individual and their level of functioning,whereas Indigenous health focuses on belonging and connecting to everything,such as land, community,culture,family #nursing1008

Nurses need to know about cultural awareness and cultural sensitivity before engaging in culturally safe practice. This process is continuous, intent and not interchangeable. #NURSING1008

As nursing students,we should know about why suicide rates are higher in Aboriginal communities.Domestic violence,cultural dislocation,racism, seperation from family, psychological distress and trauma contribute to suicide and self harm in Aboriginal people. #NURSING1008

@Whittsend3 Yes, It's mindfulness. Mainly, I liked the way Bob Randall elaborated on the meaning of "Kanyini" and the four pillars that increased my curiosity about Aboriginal people and culture. #nursing1008

[Krishna Pandya @Krishna97698287]

As I watch "Kanyini", I have a new outlook on Aboriginal peoples. I learned how Aboriginal peoples connected with land, families,culture, belief for every creation,love,and how everything changed just after British Settlement and now stuck between two cultures. #Nursing1008

@AmritGautam13 I agree with you. There were many European disease that impacted on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's health and increased the burden of disease. There were many diseases such as Measles, smallpox, flu, rhuematic fever. #Nursing1008

#NURSING1008 Health disparities continue to exist in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. In current time, Diabetes mellitus is one example of the health gap between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and Non Australian people.

In the current time, many children from stolen generations have not reconnected with their families and the impacts are feeling by individuals and communities. How do we cope when someone separates our children from us; we never see them again. #NURSING1008

@Chloe_6029 As a student nurse or future nurse, we can also participate to fulfillment of closing the gap campaign #nursing1008

@Devanshi28592 Also, age standardised imprisonment target is not on track, but it is worsening #nursing1008

@GermoniLeo @AIATSIS Also shows different regions, groups and their name throughout the nation. #nursing1008

Just reading article about languages in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples,I noticed that there is no written language to convey their cultural stories through the generation and it is represented by Aboriginal art symbols and paintings #nursing1008
