Assessment Description: Report with References White privilege, discrimination, prejudice and racism, and intersectionality are concepts and theories that relate to the concept of cultural diversity. Describe how at least two of these concepts and theories are instrumental in enabling counsellors / other helping practitioners to work with people from diverse groups. Research the web site of one organization which works with cultural diversity. Use the information on the website to analyse how the organization enables cultural competence, and how they address white privilege, discrimination, prejudice and racism, or intersectionality. The report should include: • a critical analysis of the two concepts and/or theories. • a thorough examination as to how these theories support practitioners in their work with people from diverse groups • an analysis of how these theories and culturally competent practices are applied in one organisation • a demonstration of an understanding of the important skills & knowledge required for working with people from diverse groups • a fully referenced report which uses evidence to support the analysis. Assessment sample It is identified that there are more than 370 million Indigenous people across worldwide. However, Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander are known to be Indigenous people of Australia. Within Australia there have been more than hundreds of groups with each of their own distinct languages, unique traditions and beliefs all spreading across Australia. They live in all parts of Australia including major cities to isolated desert areas. Indigenous Australian population is becoming more urban as more indigenous people are moving in metropolitan areas of Australia compared to remote or outer areas of Australia as there are more healthcare services located within major cities. There is a difference in culture therefore a clash between cultures as non-indigenous Australians are more individualise culture. Whereas indigenous Australians values the importance of being together and creating relationships with others that unites people as a community. Due to the differences the healthcare service has not sufficiently provided effective healthcare services. The implications that still occur in Health care services include racism and white privilege in which has an impact towards indigenous Australians health and general wellbeing. Intersectionality between racism and white privilege has substantial influence on each other as the impact of racism can change the perception of white privilege. There is a cultural difference between indigenous to nonindigenous Australians. Due to the differences it has created racism and the difference in culture increases the impact of occurrence. Racial attitudes led to dispossession in indigenous Australians in Australia in which resulted in lost of land rights, traditions, connections from land, communities, family, beliefs and values. Racism in the healthcare services can be referred to be a systemic racism. According to Aida “systematic racism in the health system directly influences Indigenous Australians/ quality of and access to healthcare. It is seen that racism and ill health development is have strong a connection that leads to risky health behaviours and wellbeing. Indigenous Australians begin to fear the healthcare service because of the occurrence of racism. Therefore, their general quality of health does not improve. Through a study by Aida it is “confirmed a clear link between racism and poorer mental health, including depression, anxiety and psychological stress as well as poorer general and physical health. Another form of racism is institutionalised racism in which occurs during practice of treatment in healthcare services. This form of racism has a strong impact on health and wellbeing towards indigenous Australians. As they are being exposed to racism in a professional environment. According to the Australian health bulletin 27.9% of indigenous Australians has been exposed to racist attitudes from Australians. The occurrence of racism is that due to healthcare professionals are not aware of cultural competency. Therefore, there implementing additional training requirements or programs to cultural awareness to help indigenous Australians have access to the healthcare services that is provided. To reduce the gap of cultural differences non indigenous can learn to understand indigenous Australian culture especially the values and beliefs to have a better understanding. By understanding their values and beliefs than indigenous Australians can have higher chance to access and communication for effective healthcare services. As racism is seen to have significant impact on indigenous Australians mental and physical health therefore, they begin to fear to be treated which prevents them from gaining effective access to healthcare services. Moreover, through mental health it creates a lack of confidence in their culture that leads to stress and distrust. By improving cultural competence amongst health carers and other professionals it will be more accessible for indigenous Australians to decrease the substantial health gap between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians. White privilege is a concept of a white ethnic individual who has various privileges. It can be perceived as having greater rewards and access to healthcare than those of other cultural background such as indigenous Australians. White privilege is more dominant in healthcare services than to indigenous Australians due to relations of power of social inequities. In which contributes to overall health and wellbeing. However, the effects of white privilege are those being superiors than the minorities are considered inferiors. Additionally, health disparities are unsuccessful as it is limited towards those who are minorities in which gain less access to healthcare. white privileges contribute towards disparities as indigenous Australians loss their source of nutritional foods in which leads to poorer health outcomes as they are more prone to develop diabetes. Non indigenous Australians lack respect towards indigenous Australians in which reduces effective treatment and care. There is a large difference in life expectancy and overall health for non-indigenous and indigenous Australians as life expectancy is 2 times higher for non-indigenous. There is a set of cultural competence practice in healthcare such as behaviour, attitude and implementation of policies that allows workers to effectively use them across cultural circumstances. Evaluating on a systems level with other strategies such as reviewing current policies can reduce disparities in healthcare services to indigenous Australians and increase care workers knowledge to improve cultural competency in healthcare. Having regular meetings that include various activities or interventions in different cultural situations to increase knowledge and experience for healthcare workers to increase sustainably deliver care towards across all cultural groups. As this will emphasise the workers in a positive way through behaviour and attitude during practice towards indigenous Australians. Conducting interventions in healthcare can change current healthcare services by continuously developing quality services that facilitate cultural competence that will benefit indigenous Australians including small communities. Additionally, interventions that include care workers participating will improve interaction and communication that respects those who are in care will increase trust as care workers are more knowledgeable and skilful that are capable to treat indigenous Australians. The impact of racism changes the perception of white privilege that refers to intersectionality. healthcare services will increase funding and legislation in residential areas that contain more indigenous Australians. In which increase the protection to equal access to healthcare and close the gap between white privilege to healthcare. This will decrease white privilege, therefore will begin to provide various opportunities to increase sustainability in overall health towards indigenous Australians. To increase the impact of cultural competence, the workforce in healthcare can follow up with staff members or patients to gather information and use it to adequately implement training programs to ensure treatment towards each patient is equal. To eliminate intersectionality is to recognise the effects of white privilege in healthcare will begin to actively close the gaps of health and social inequities between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians. As well as institutional levels addressing such situation in healthcare will increase change. White privileges on an institutional level is related to power in healthcare as it creates a gap that prevents sustainable healthcare towards indigenous Australians. Because of the barrier of privilege and racism in the organisation and healthcare workers that effectively reduce quality healthcare between races. This will lessen the gap between white privileges and race that will significantly increase quality healthcare services. As healthcare services continues to have the tendency to provide care and services that affects non-indigenous therefore, it still does not fully recognise the needs to care of indigenous Australians. To conclude, racism in healthcare settings continues to occur that contributes to indigenous health and overall wellbeing tremendously. Impact of white privilege within healthcare services decreases chances of indigenous accessibility and communications due to the lack of respect of other cultures. Interventions that include cultural perspectives of values and beliefs will result a significant health change for indigenous Australians in healthcare services. Such strategies that are implemented for indigenous Australians needs to be adapted for specific locations and communities that is culturally appropriate for effective care. Failing to successfully implement strategies within the healthcare service will increasingly cause the rates of health disparities towards indigenous Australians. As there is a cultural clash between non indigenous to indigenous Australians as they have lost their trust in the institutions of healthcare services. Cultural differences of non-indigenous Australians are more individualise whereas, indigenous are a cultural community that is yet to be recognise for improving relations between the two. Additionally, lack of respect towards indigenous Australians leads to furthering the gap of trust between the two. Intersectionality between white privilege and racism is associated with the major difference of life expectancy and overall health of indigenous to non-indigenous Australians.
