Full textThis dissertation explores the anomaly of Horn Island, Torres Strait, being classified a non -operational area during World War Two. It explains why this designation was wrong, and why it needed to be changed in order that the men and women who served there be accorded the recognition that they had been striving for since the war concluded. The concrete measure of that recognition comes in the form of the 1939- 1945 Star Medal. This prestigious award is for duty in an area that came under enemy attack during the Second World War, until 1993 restricted to those who served overseas. The dissertation plots the activities of Air Force and Army squadrons and units at Horn Island, both Australian and American, draws on an extensive bank of oral evidence, and focuses on the experiences of those who served there. Their histories portray what life was like at that Advanced Operational Airbase, and demonstrate the effect Horn Island service had on veterans. These are tangible demonstrations and are attested to by the fact that 60 years later the men and women have begun to return. They are being drawn back to their island of service, to walk in the steps of their youth, recapturing a past that will soon be lost to memory. Many bring their descendants to pass down their family's wartime heritage. On 26 October 2001 the 1939-1945 Star Medal finally was awarded to qualifying Tones Strait veterans, a decision that affected thousands of men, and a handful of women, who now hold the physical symbol that their wartime service has been acknowledged. However, for many other Horn Island veterans there is still unfinished business.

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 textAfter decades of discrimination and deprivation, Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population faces social circumstances and health status which resemble that of a third world population group. With a wide range of health risk factors and morbidities among this population, a logical place to begin tackling the health problems is at the beginning of life. With increasing recognition of the influence of the intrauterine environment upon health, not only during infancy but into adulthood, improving health during pregnancy offers substantial benefit for present and future generations. The poor health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians is deeply ingrained in social deprivation, poor mental well-being, and an array of modifiable risk factors. Smoking is one risk factor at the centre of this complex web. Smoking is often accompanied by, or used as relief in, stressful situations associated with socioeconomic status, mental health, illness, and other addictions. In order to determine the most appropriate way to tackle the smoking issue among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, a series of studies were conducted. Initial literature reviews found limited evidence derived from methodologically rigorous studies in mainstream populations, and even less evidence for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, or other Indigenous groups. Exploration of the knowledge and attitudes of these women in relation to antenatal smoking was conducted to identify the most appropriate targets for intervention. The findings from extensive background studies were drawn upon to design an intervention which aimed to be culturally appropriate for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, providing intensive support to assist these women to quit smoking during their pregnancy. Pilot data from the resulting intervention is presented in Chapter 8 of this Thesis. The social network among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities appears to play a central role in the behaviour of individuals. With an array of risk factors and influences found not only in the individuals surrounding women, but in their socioeconomic circumstances and overall environment, it may be that the most important approach for achieving health and behaviour change among this population is the mobilisation of social support and efforts to intervene with multiple elements of that environment.
