Question:-

Answer:-

The interviewee felt upon the cultural training indigenously having this role in providing and developing healthcare. This keeps contributing to the health of the Torres Strait Islander and the aboriginal people. With the data breadth received through this interview, some common themes got noticed regarding the impact and role of the cultural training indigenously for nurses.

This interviewee felt upon the workplace not being safe culturally and not providing healthcare being safe culturally. She referred upon the covert and overt racism institutionally towards the Torres Strait Islander and aboriginal people in the workspace. The interviewee kept considering upon the cultural training role indigenously as that means in nurses equipped for addressing racism in this workspace actively-

You would see racism institutionally.. the covert and overt existence of racism. You would keep hearing in the tea room and the handover. This training would help in saying the others on this not being right.   

The interviewee kept seeing cultural training indigenously getting this integral role for collective knowledge lacks getting addressed about the colonial history of Australia. Therefore this training would keep getting its role for teaching these nurses regarding the social-political and historical context. This is where the aboriginal health gets located. 

Here the interviewee was quite keen in emphasizing upon the training not requiring in focussing those details of cultural practice and indigenous culture specifically. Though when enquired upon the things gained from training, she emphasized upon communication style. She further mentioned the indigenous culture aspects informing the practice clinically (Gower et al., 2019). The interviewee emphasized upon having several distinct tribes thus aboriginals cannot be generalized. Still, when enquiring upon their learning remembered from training she mentioned upon not to look them in the eye. This little instance keeps illustrating this tension arising among the indigenous cultures having objectification risk. The interviewee mentioned upon cultural differences learned has those roles in health workers assisted in becoming much accepting regarding differences having less judgement. This knowledge where the interviewee felt on gaining has general relations with communications. She mentioned upon benefitting learning their significances and structures (Fredericks & Bargallie, 2020). 

During the discussion of the ways of attending these training impacting nursing practices, the response from her was moderate. She expressed a few disappointment levels regarding this training. She mentioned upon not getting clearer explanations regarding those things expected from workers in healthcare. She mentioned those specifics in the ways they would keep providing safe care to these indigenous people culturally.

It’s about doing your best. I realized where most of the time they would keep saying upon the need in becoming sensitive culturally. That’s great, but the question is on how to do that?

She mentions the hospital's physical environment with feeling impended regarding the nursing practice implementation of safe culture effectively. It involved those strains formed from under-staff having its high turnovers. Another struggle involves reconciling her belief regarding those great ways of giving nurse care for them (Almutairi, Adlan & Nasim, 2017). There the workplace setting reality becomes the stressful source significantly.  

The interviewee kept emphasizing upon nursing care safety culturally developing with experience years professionally. She felt upon the process requiring in encompassing this self-awareness development and culture recognition. She mentioned upon this training providing this background or initial point for workers needing in developing the abilities and skills in providing safe care culturally (Lin & Hsu, 2020). For her, listening to the views of the aboriginals and gaining experiences when working with them becomes important.

My learning at best involved many hours in this paediatric warding where I kept sitting with those grandparents being aboriginals.
