VIDEO CASE STUDIES

Module Overview

Throughout this Cultural Competency package, we have talked about a range of factors relating to Aboriginal health and wellbeing, and the provision of services and supports to Aboriginal people, families and communities.

This Module discusses approaches to Aboriginal health and wellbeing from the context of the Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal service sector specifically and provides a more interactive approach to your learning journey, with three Video Case Scenarios for you to work through. Each scenario contains two videos and is followed by a set of multiple-choice questions for you to answer.

These will provide you with the more appropriate and inappropriate ways of engagement and interaction with Aboriginal patients and families.

Elements of these scenarios shall include but are not limited to, cultural safety, child protection, engagement, communication, stereotypes, bedside manner, judgement, respect, building rapport, health literacy, Aboriginal  identification, privacy, referrals, choices, the importance of family and community, compassion and empathy.
