Australia is increasingly recognised as a multicultural and diverse
society. Nationally, all accrediting bodies for allied health,
nursing, midwifery and medical professions require tertiary
educated students to be culturally safe with regards to cultural
and social diversity. This text, drawing on experts from a range of
disciplines, including public health, nursing and sociology, shows
how the theory and practice of cultural safety can inform effective
health care practices with all kinds of diverse populations. Part 1
explores key themes and concepts, including social determinants of
health and cultural models of health and health care. There is a
particular focus on how different models of health, including the
biomedical and Indigenous perspectives, intersect in Australia
today. Part 2 looks at culturally safe health care practice
focusing on principles and practice as well as policy and advocacy.
The authors consider the practices that can be most effective,
including meaningful communication skills and cultural
responsiveness. Part 3 examines the practice issues in working with
diverse populations, including Indigenous Australians, Culturally
and Linguistically Diverse Australians, Australians with
disabilities, Australians of diverse sexual orientation and gender
identity, and ageing Australians. Part 4 combines all learnings
from Parts 1-3 into practical learning activities, assessments and
feedback for learners engaging with this textbook. Culture,
Diversity and Health in Australia is a sensitive, richly nuanced
and comprehensive guide to effective health practice in Australia
today and is a key reference text for either undergraduate or
postgraduate students studying health care. It will also be of
interest to professional health care practitioners and policy
administrators.
