Description Building on the broad concepts learnt in core unit 401454 - Indigenous Australian Health, Wellness and Culture or unit 401445 - Health, Culture and Wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, this unit introduces the student to perspectives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's health looking across the lifespan. Critical aspects of nursing care across the lifespan are examined focusing on the patients emotional, social, physical, and significantly, spiritual wellbeing in addition to family and the communities' response to the key alterations in health. Classroom learning will be supported by a field trip which allows students to experience a culturally immersive experience on Country facilitated by Aboriginal Elders. The field trip will also allow students to develop new skills for practice and develop a deeper appreciation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and culture. This unit will interest anyone with an interest in contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and health care.
