Повний текст джерелаIndigenous health is one of the most pressing issues confronting contemporary Australian society. In recent years government officials, medical practitioners, and media commentators have repeatedly drawn attention to the vast discrepancies in health outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. However a comprehensive discussion of Aboriginal health is often hampered by a lack of historical analysis. Accordingly this thesis is a historical response to the current Aboriginal health crisis and examines the impact of colonisation on Aboriginal bodies in Queensland during the early to mid twentieth century. Drawing upon a wide range of archival sources, including government correspondence, medical records, personal diaries and letters, maps and photographs, I examine how the exclusion of Aboriginal people from white society contributed to the creation of racially segregated medical institutions. I examine four such government-run institutions, which catered for Aboriginal health and disease during the period 1900-1970. The four institutions I examine – Barambah Aboriginal Settlement, Peel Island Lazaret, Fantome Island lock hospital and Fantome Island leprosarium – constituted the essence of the Queensland Government’s Aboriginal health policies throughout this time period. The Queensland Government’s health policies and procedures signified more than a benevolent interest in Aboriginal health, and were linked with Aboriginal (racial) management strategies. Popular perceptions of Aborigines as immoral and diseased directly affected the nature and focus of government health services to Aboriginal people. In particular the Chief Protector of Aboriginals Office’s uneven allocation of resources to medical segregation facilities and disease controls, at the expense of other more pressing health issues, specifically nutrition, sanitation, and maternal and child health, materially contributed to Aboriginal ill health. This thesis explores the purpose and rationales, which informed the provision of health services to Aboriginal people. The Queensland Government officials responsible for Aboriginal health, unlike the medical authorities involved in the management of white health, did not labour under the task of ensuring the liberty of their subjects but rather were empowered to employ coercive technologies long since abandoned in the wider medical culture. This particularly evident in the Queensland Government’s unwillingness to relinquish or lessen its control over diseased Aboriginal bodies and the continuation of its Aboriginal-only medical isolation facilities in the second half of the twentieth century. At a time when medical professionals and government officials throughout Australia were almost universally renouncing institutional medical solutions in favour of more community-based approaches to ill health and diseases, the Queensland Government was pushing for the creation of new, and the continuation of existing, medical segregation facilities for Aboriginal patients. In Queensland the management of health involved inherently spatialised and racialised practices. However spaces of Aboriginal segregation did not arise out of an uncomplicated or consistent rationale of racial segregation. Rather the micro-histories of Fantome Island leprosarium, Peel Island Lazaret, Fantome Island lock hospital and Barambah Aboriginal Settlement demonstrate that competing logics of disease quarantine, reform, punishment and race management all influenced the ways in which the Government chose to categorise, situate and manage Aboriginal people (their bodies, health and diseases). Evidence that the enterprise of public health was, and still is, closely aligned with the governance of populations.

From 1997 to 2000, 160 blood samples(dog 114;cat 2;mouse 12;pigeon 17;goat 3;bat 1;wild boars 3 and flying squirrel 8 ) and 79 stool samples (dog 20;mouse 12;pigeon 30;guinea pig 3;goat 2;wild boars 4 and flying squirrel 8 ) were periodically collected from the animals lived with and hunted by the aboriginal tribes people of 5 villages in Taiwan (Nan Au village in Yi Lan county:Dung Au, Nan Au,Bi Hou,Jin Yue,Wu Ta, Jin Yang and Au Hau;Jin Feng village in Tai Dung county:Jeng Shing,Jia Lan,Shin Shing,Bin Mau and Li Chiou;Hai Duan village in Tai Tung:Hai Duan,Kan Ding,Jia Na Wu Lu,Li Dau,Guang Yuan,Jin Ping andChu Lai;Da Jen village in Tai Tung:Tai Ban,Tu Ban,Shin Hua,An Shuo,Nan Tian, and Sen Yung;Da Wu village in Tai Tung:Shang Wu,Da Wu,Da Ju,Nan Shing, and Da Niau; coast mountain of Hua Lian county). The dog lived with people showed that the infection rates of Toxoplasma gondii, Dirofilaria immitis ,Hepatazoon canis, Ancylostoma spp. ,Toxocara canis and Trichuris vulpis are 21.9%(25/114), 6.1%(7/114), 1.8%(2/114), 35.0% (7/20), 20.0%(4/20), and 5.0%(1/20), respectively. Meanwhile, the Haemoproteus spp. of pigeon is 41.2%(7/17) and the Babesia spp. of mouse is 41.7%(5/12). About the mouse stood, it showed that the infection rates of Ancylostoma spp., Strongyloides ratti and Diphyllobothrium spp. are 16.7%(2/12), 25.0%(3/12) , and25.0%(3/12) , respectively. Meanwhile the multi-infection rates of Strongyloides ratti and Diphyllobothrium spp. are 8.3% (1/12), and 25.0% (3/12). The Strongyloides papillosus of goat is 50.0%(1/2). The Strongyloides ratti of guinea pig is 33.3% (1/3). There were only 2 blood samples of wild boars and flying squirrel. The infection rates of both Toxoplasma gondii and Suifilaris suis of wild boars are 33.3%(1/3). The total parasitic infection rate is 75.0% and 100% in stool samples. The wild boars results showed that all the infection rates are 50.0%(2/4) to Ascaris suum, Trichuris suis, Strongyloides ransomi and Hyostrongylus rubidus, except the Ascarops strongylina is 25.0 %(1/4). The investigation of flying squirrel showed the infection rates of Trichuris spp., Syphacia spp., Coccidia spp., Strongyloides ratti and Nippostrongylus muris are 25.0%(2/8), 87.5%(7/8), 75.0%(6/8), 50.0%(4/8), and 37.8%(3/8), respectively. The 2, 3 and 4 multi- infection of wild boars are 25.0%(1/4). The 2, 3 and 4 multi- infection of flying squirrel are 50.0%(4/8), 25.0%(2/8), and 25.0%(2/8), receptively. In this investigation, the data is accumulated progressively and matched with the current study location and the main purpose is for establishing the animal''s parasitic data of aboriginal tribes'' area in Taiwan and link to Geography Information System. Then the infectious disease, public health, epidemiology and epidemic situation of human and animal in aboriginal tribes could be monitored and controlled instantly and the hygiene education of the tribes could be improved and the parasite disease induced by other disease could also be reduced.

Повний текст джерелаThe 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.

Background Because of its unique cultural background, we consider Taitung County as the most typical area, where serious betel quid abuses were found, for us to do research and took samples. Nowadays, among the aboriginal tribes in Taitung, people are facing mental, physical, social family and career problems caused by betel quid, alcohol and nicotine abuses. Researches about the effects of chewing betel quid were mostly talking about the epidemiology、morbific stratovision、genetic determinant and cytopathic pre-cancer of oral cancer, however, they seldom showed the caries disease easily found on betel quid abusers. Purposes The main purpose of this research aimed at the abusing situation between aborigine and non-aborigine citizens of Taitung; secondly, the condition of drinking and smoking habits of the betel quid abusers, and the possible causes of oral diseases among the aborigine and non-aborigine betel quid abusers of Taitung. Methods 172 residents, including 92 aborigines (54.07%) and non-aborigines (45.93%), 49% male and 51% female, older than 18, were the objects of our research. We applied the MS Access to set up files and JMP to analyze the information. Results We found that 67% of betel quid abusers were above 50 years old, 49% were non-educated, they had started chewing mostly before 20 years old, and kept this habit for more than 20 years. 38.46% of aborigines had the habits of chewing betel quid and smoking, 48.15% with drinking habit; 47.62% betel quid abusers had the habit of smoking and 28.57% abusers had drinking habit. According to the research of the substance abuse module, we found that the age of the abusers was decreased, but the number of people was rising up. we also noticed that the CPI and oral health index had positive correlation with the habit of chewing betel quid . The CPI and LOA of the abusers were increasing, depending on the state of chewing. According to the higher rate of caries filling of non-abusers, we found that the habit of oral health of the abusers was getting worse. Conclusion To sum up, the rate of drinking, smoking and betel quid abusing of aborigines is higher than that of the non-aborigines; and the index of oral health of the non-aborigines is higher than aborigines; therefore, In order to promote the betel quid abuse, we should enhance the resident area of the aborigines on advertising the harm of betel quid abuse, and teach them the ways of getting rid of it.

ABSTRACT Background: In recent years, health problems encountered by Taiwanese aboriginal people have become an important issue Taiwan. In general, aboriginal people undertook worse medical care conditions and social economic status. Therefore, aboriginal people confront considerable difficulties in adapting to the occupation and daily life. Various stresses cause physiological and psychological changes, which may lead to disease development. Periodontal diseases are common oral diseases in adults. As a result, it is important that whether the aboriginal people have periodontal diseases which are more serious than those affected by people not applying stress copings. Objectives: The purposes of this study included: 1) to investigate the current situation of mental health and stress coping; 2) to investigate the current situation of the periodontal diseases; 3) to explore the relationship between stress coping and mental health with periodontal diseases in aboriginal people. Methods: This study used the aboriginal data from the “Oral Health Survey for Adults and Senior Citizens in Taiwan, 2003-3005”. The study design was a stratified multi-stage cluster samplings. The aboriginal areas included northern (covering western mountain townships from north of Chiayi County), southern (covering mountain townships in Kaohsiung and Pingtung Counties) and eastern mountain townships (covering mountain townships in Hualien and Taitung Counties). Mental problems, stress coping, and so on were measured by Chinese Health Questionnaire (CHQ-12). Community periodontal index (CPI) and periodontal loss of attachment (LOA) were assessed by oral examination. Results: The logistic regression analysis showed that the probability of the occurrence of mental health problems of women was 1.65 times (p=0.1609) than that of men (CHQ≧3). Moreover, the decrease of salary correlated significantly with the abnormal increase of smoking, drinking and betel chewing. Besides, the probability of the occurrence of periodontal diseases aboriginal people with aged 35-49 was 3.89 times than that of those aged 18-34 (p=0.0031). And the probability of the occurrence of periodontal diseases of aboriginal people aged 50-64 was 6.52 times than that of those aged 18-34 (p=0.0282). Nevertheless, there was no statistical significance after mental health factors and the stress coping strategies were adjusted. Age correlated positively with periodontal attachment loss, whose probability of occurrence was 9.42 times in those aged 50-64 compared with that of those aged than (p=0.0038) and 17.46 times in those aged over 65 compared with those aged 18-34 (p=0.0026). The increase of betel chewing correlated positively and significantly with periodontal attachment loss after mental health factors were adjusted (OR=4.66, p=0.0028). Conclusions: It was found in this study that the periodontal diseases of aboriginal people significantly correlated with age and social-economic status (income). But there was no statistical significance regarding habits of betel quid chewing, cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking as well as mental health. However, it was found that age and periodontal attachment loss correlated positively and significantly with the increase of betel quid chewed when stress was encountered.

Epidemiological studies have revealed that the aborigines usually have more health problems than non- aborigines. From the analyses of disease prevalence and mortality rate of aborigines in Hualian Mountain- County, we found that they have serious health problems such as alcohol drinking, chronic liver diseases, liver cirrhosis and gout. The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of chronic hepatic disorders, liver cirrhosis, and gout, and their relationship with alcohol drinking in adult aborigines (age above 20 years old) in two Hualian Mountain-County. This is a cross-sectional design collecting exposure and disease data retrospectively. A total of 1163 subjects were recruited in 1999. These data were collected through a detailed questionnaire survey, boold tests, and abdominal sonography, to evaluate the relationship among drinking habits, basic characteristics of individuals, and health conditions. The results of statistical analyses have demonstrated that the prevalence rates of alcohol drinking anong abnormal were 58.47%. They are correlated with different genders, ages, insurances, races, degrees of education, marriage status. The higher risk groups were found in males, from 35 to 49, junior high school/ high school education, without insurance, and without marriage. The prevalence rates of liver desfunctions and gout were 38.95% and 42.99%, respectively. They are greatly related with alcohol drinking habits, and so as to quantity and frequency of alcohol consumption. Concerning liver dysfunctions,the factors are genders, ages, insurances, races, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) infection, hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, alcohol intake amount. To analyze the interact effects alcohol drinking, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection to the occurrence of liver dysfunction, we found that the odds ratio of liver dysfunction was higher in hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) than those who are non-carriers. The odds ratio of liver dysfunction for those who were hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected was 6.11 to 3.66 times higher than those who were not infected. The factors related to gout were genders, races, hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, alcohol consumption. We found that the odds ratio of gout for alcohol consumption over 1000c.c is 1.63 times higher than those who are not. We found that the odds ratio of gout for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) infection was 1.35 times higher than those who are not. The odds ratio of gout for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection was 1.78 to 3.07 times higher than those who were not infected. In conclusion, we found the prevalence rates of selected diseases anong aborigines were higher than non-aborigines. The health problems encounted in future public health works a alcohol drinking, chronic liver diseases, liver cirrhosis, and gout. The intervention on alcohol drinking behavior among aboriginals is a major concern of future health programs.

Homocystinuria due to cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder of methionine metabolism that produces increased levels of urinary homocysteine and methionine. Human CBS is a heme protein that catalyzes the condensation of serine and homocysteine to form cystathionine in a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent reaction. Missense mutations in the CBS gene are the most common causes of clinical homocystinuria in humans. The D47E mutation was identified in a homocystinuric patient from Orchid Tao Aborigines. To understand how this mutation causes disease in human, we used Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) Transformed Human B Lymphocyte cell lines: heterozygote mutant (+/-), homozygote mutant (-/-) and wild type (+/+). First we performed the D47E gene RFLP using restriction enzymes Alu I and Sfan I to cleave the amplified DNA fragments and run the electrophoresis to distinguish between mutant and normal cell lines. After confirmation of the genotype of these cell lines, we want to know how the D47E mutant affects the CBS protein expression levels. Based on RT-PCR analysis, wild type mRNA levels were higher compared with the mutant cell lines. Next we performed the Western Blot to observe the CBS protein expression levels to confirm the results obtained from RT-PCR. D47E mutant cause protein misfolding determined by Native-PAGE. Finally we want to know if D47E mutant residue is important for structural and functional integrity of CBS enzyme as well as its activity. This biochemical characterization of the D47E mutant could be addressed for further insights into structure-function correlations in CBS.

Повний текст джерелаThe narrative told about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ health often focuses on ill health, with large gaps in measured health outcomes between First Nations and non-Indigenous Australians. For chronic kidney disease, it is estimated that the burden of disease for First Nations peoples is seven times greater that of non-Indigenous Australians. However, First Nations definitions of health are not purely biomedical focusing on illness and disease. They are instead inclusive of all aspects of an individual’s lived experience, including their connection to body, mind, spirit, community, family, culture, and land. Using a Western scientific lens to examine the health of First Nations peoples further colonises their experiences and fails to portray their lived reality. Research can employ a narrow approach when identifying the lived experiences of First Nations, however decolonised research methods offer new approaches to hearing their untold stories. This project was conducted collaboratively with a female member of the Aboriginal Kidney care together: improving outcomes now (AKction) Reference Group, to map and identify how she thrived in her journey despite having kidney disease. Research yarning, a culturally appropriate research method, and thematic analysis were conducted with her collaboration to answer how she demonstrated strength and resilience throughout her journey. Findings highlighted that her kidney health journey was complex, with kidney health forming only one aspect of her journey. The participant demonstrated resilience while facing complex challenges, using her connections, actions, and mindset to thrive and not just survive her journey.

Повний текст джерелаAboriginal 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.

Over the years in the health status of the aboriginal people, including average life expectancy, mortality, health indicators, such as the incidence of major diseases, the aboriginal people in Taiwan were more vulnerable. The health issue of the aboriginal people catches more attention in recent years. Even though, not only the problems of unequal distribution of medical resources are unsolved, but it is also important a cultural-blinded health strategy is addressed. An fully understanding of aboriginal culture is important, thus we be able to establish a culture-friendly policy for aboriginal health education and medical systems. The purpose of this study is based on exploring the values of the aboriginal origins, regarding health and diseases. We will also look into how they explain and deal with diseases. It will provide us with a understanding of how we could approach in the future health education for the aboriginal people. Using a snowball sampling method,the data gathering method for this study is in-depth interviews. Two informers helped us to get in touch with the Atayal tribe as well as to act as interpreters. One of them is a health care worker of the Fushing Village while the other is a resident living in the Fushing village. Under their introduction, we had interviewed 22 aboriginal people belong to the Ayatal tribe in Fushing Village. Our questions include their views toward health and disease, how they explain and deal with disease, their views on the medical system of Taiwan as well as their trust on the system. Major findings are as follows : 1. The Atayal tribe believes that the disease is a part of the natural cycle of life. Therefore, when people is ill, they do not try to get rid of disease from life, but try to regard it as part of the life cycle. 2. For the Atayal people, “feeling of pain” is a cru signal for them to look for medical help. 3. To the Atayal people, mental health is the basic element of healthy people. 4. The Atayal people explain the reason for diseases which come from four factors - psychological, cultural, biological as well as environmental factors. 5. Western medicine system is the major approach for the Atayal people to acute diseases. 6. In early stages of disease, Atayal people will not take immediate action to seek medical help. They will resolve by self-recovery approach, using their willpower to let the body recover by itself.

Повний текст джерелаThe key research question examined in this thesis was: Could POCT ( point-of-care pathology testing) models that were analytically sound and clinically and culturally effective be established in Australian Indigenous medical services for the prevention and management of diabetes and renal disease? The systematic approach to answer this overarching research question included the scientific validation of the analytical performance of suitable point-of-care (POC) devices, the development of a culturally appropriate education and training program for Aboriginal Health Workers (and nurses) as POCT operators, the implementation of a quality management framework for maintaining surveillance of the analytical quality of POCT results, and an assessment of qualitative and quantitative research outcomes to determine the clinical and cultural effectiveness of POCT.
