Full textWest, Matthew. "“Footprints for Life” foot health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples." Thesis, 2021. http://hdl.handle.net/1959.13/1445698.
Full textThe limited available data shows Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples have disproportionately high rates of diabetes-related foot disease, and experience amputation up to 38 times more frequently than non-Indigenous Australians. The high rate of diabetes-related foot disease in this population results in reduced quality of life, elevated hospitalisation rates and associated expenditure, and significantly contributes to preventable deaths. The reasons for higher rates of diabetes-related foot disease in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples are complex, with a lack of available culturally safe care, low socioeconomic status and poor engagement with Western health services significantly contributing to the current catastrophic outcomes. To effectively address diabetes-related foot disease in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, a better understanding of the extent of the problem is required, and, there needs to be improved access to culturally safe foot care through better service provision and a more culturally capable health workforce. This thesis had the overarching aims of establishing the foot health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in the local Central Coast community, and developing methods to improve access to, and delivery of, culturally safe foot care. This thesis investigated, via systematic review, the current state of diabetes-related foot disease in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and the availability and effectiveness of foot care services to reduce diabetes-related foot complications in this population. The reviews demonstrated there is a lack of nationwide data relating to diabetes-related foot disease in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, and, that most data focuses on amputation rates, with little information available regarding specific types of diabetes-related foot complications. Nevertheless we found Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples had between a 3 to 6 fold increased likelihood of both foot ulcer and minor or major amputation, and, that these occurred at a younger age. Furthermore, we found no evidence of state- or nation-wide foot health programs for prevention of diabetes-related foot disease in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. Existing services were localised and there was little evaluation of the acceptability of these programs, levels of community engagement or impact on foot disease. Subsequently through an extensive community consultation process we used an effective co-design approach to develop a foot care service embedded in an undergraduate podiatry program. Key design elements included; integrating ongoing community consultation; involvement of Aboriginal health workers and practitioners connected to their local community; recognising the role of community in cultural capability training of health students; and, creating a flexible and accessible care model that is aligned with the community foot care priorities. To conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the foot care service model, we used culturally appropriate methods to determine the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspective of program success through research yarns and customised surveys, as well as service utilisation data. These data demonstrated that service elements including yarning circles and group appointments, as well as student placements, increased participant engagement with, and ownership of the clinic. Increasing accessibility to the clinic was flagged as a mechanism to further increase engagement. In addition, student placement in a culturally safe clinic significantly improved students’ understanding of multiple aspects of cultural capability (e.g. understanding of culture, history, and their interrelationship with health and health care delivery), and level of confidence with providing culturally appropriate and safe foot care. In summary this research highlights the devastating impact of diabetes-related foot disease for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and the importance of a co-designed approach to delivery of culturally safe foot health care, as well as the central role of immersive experiences for developing a culturally safe future podiatry workforce.

Full textAboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples hold a unique position in Australian society, yet they are the most disadvantaged group in the community. This disadvantage is a direct result of the effects of European invasion and the systematic exclusion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples from many institutions of Australian society, such as social security, industrial relations and education systems. The unemployment rate for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is three times the national average, the highest unemployment rate of any group in the Australian labour market. Participation rates, skills, qualifications and income are all well below those of the non-Indigenous population. Since 1967, successive Commonwealth governments have attempted to correct these past policies by being proactive in promoting Indigenous education and employment, and by putting policies into place to redress the disadvantage that Indigenous peoples face. This thesis considers a range of employment issues that relate particularly to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ employment. While noting some of the employment strategies utilised by governments, the particular focus of the thesis is with the strategies pursued by private-sector organisations to manage diversity and to reduce labour market disadvantage for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. By exploring these strategies, the thesis aims to identify what works and what does not work. In so doing, the thesis presents an original contribution to knowledge as the first study to examine private-sector attempts to redress labour market disadvantage for these peoples. In addition, the research will provide the basis for formulating and evaluative framework for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employment.
Jayakody, Amanda A. "Reducing high rates of unplanned hospital readmissions among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with chronic disease." Thesis, 2020. http://hdl.handle.net/1959.13/1439011.
Full textAboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, hereinafter respectfully referred to as Aboriginal people, a have a rich heritage and diverse cultures. They have a strong connection to their community and country. However, Aboriginal people have suffered long-lasting effects from colonisation, dispossession of land and racism with devasting impacts, particularly for health outcomes. In Australia, Aboriginal people have up to three-fold higher rates of chronic disease compared to non-Aboriginal people. Given the high risk of frequent avoidable admissions and unplanned hospital readmissions for people with chronic diseases, it is not surprising that Aboriginal people also have higher rates of these types of hospitalisations compared to non-Aboriginal people. High rates of avoidable admissions and unplanned readmissions reflect sub-optimal community healthcare and poor hospital care. However, little research has explored these types of potentially unnecessary hospitalisations for Aboriginal people with chronic disease in Australia’s most populous state of New South Wales (NSW). This thesis explores frequent avoidable admissions and unplanned readmissions among Aboriginal people by focusing on three key aims. The first was to examine the prevalence and trends of frequent avoidable admissions and unplanned readmissions of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people residing in NSW, utilising linked hospital administrative data. International research examining the factors associated with unplanned readmissions in general populations indicate the importance of factors such as chronic disease management, a regular general practitioner, good health literacy and medication adherence. Therefore, the second aim of this thesis was to identify perceptions of Aboriginal people regarding potential contributors to chronic-disease-related unplanned readmissions. In-depth interviews were conducted with a sample of Aboriginal people who had been readmitted to hospital. Telephone follow-up has been used alongside other intervention components, such as tailored discharge planning and patient education, with the aim of reducing unplanned readmissions in surgical and general medicine patients. The final aim of this thesis was to examine the potential impact of telephone follow-up in reducing unplanned readmissions rates for patients with chronic disease. This involved a systematic review of the research literature on the impact of telephone follow-up, and an evaluation of a program utilising telephone follow-up for Aboriginal people. The implications of the findings of this work are discussed in relation to hospital and community health service practices and state-wide data monitoring. Further explorative research and a community-led multicomponent telephone follow-up enhancement intervention are proposed.
