When you think of Indonesia and holidays, what is your first thought? Bali!

Bali is a well-known holiday destination for Australians as it has the complete set. The beautiful beaches, incredible views, nature's adventure, historical sights, and fantastic food and nightlife. However, although Bali is an excellent choice for a holiday, there are so many islands in Indonesia that many foreigners have yet to explore. Wonderful Indonesia is a marketing campaign to promote tourism and showcase Indonesia's diverse culture and attractions (Wonderful Indonesia, 2019). Wonderful Indonesia provides travel ideas and locations to explore, appreciating nature, history and traditions Indonesia has to offer.

To me, health is a conscious choice to maintain my physical, mental or spiritual body. It is adapting to the changes in my daily life and prioritising self-care. I feel healthy when my body is cared for and my mind is not filled with negative thoughts. Being healthy allows me to do the things I love with the people I care for.

Country focus: Syria
Syria is currently in the middle of a civil war that has been going on for over ten years. Due to the ongoing conflicts in the country, it has turned into somewhat of a lawless zone where kidnapping, terrorism, and human trafficking occur. Due to the disputes, Syria has received humanitarian support from nations such as Australia. People from Syria were among the top four nationalities for which Australia issued 5,947 refugee and humanitarian visas in 2020–21 (Australian Red Cross). Tuberculosis, malaria, and schistosomiasis are three typical health issues expected in persons arriving from Syria, according to the Australian Refugee Health Practice Guide.

Tuberculosis (TB):
Tuberculosis is a respiratory infection affecting a person's lungs and other body parts. Immigrants born in high-incidence countries such as Syria are more likely to contract TB due to inhalation exposure to aerosolised droplets. One treatment available to Syrian refugees who have contracted TB is to have a medical evaluation, which can lead to hospital treatments.

Malaria:
Malaria is a hazardous disease due to a mosquito bite. Although the WHO has taken action to reduce the chances of contracting malaria in Syria, there is still a chance of receiving the infection. If tested positive, possible treatments would include a hospital referral.

Schistosomiasis:
Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease caused by flatworms, which can be transmitted through freshwater contamination. Treatment for this disease for Syrian refugees includes a thorough diagnosis and education on hygiene and preventative measures.

Selat Solo; a traditional dish from Solo, Surakarta.  |Cited on Traditional Beef Dish From Surakarta | TasteAtlas. (2022). Www.tasteatlas.com. https://www.tas

Selat Solo is one of the many comfort foods I make when I miss Indonesia. The taste of the soft and tender beef to the steamed vegetables mixed with the sweet sauce is a dish that reminds me of home. Although this dish is inspired by European cuisine, it has been altered to suit the taste of Indonesians (Taste Atlas, n.d.).

This meal is relatively healthy as some nutrients you would consume are proteins, carbohydrates, potassium, magnesium, Vitamin C, and many more. Should you ever visit Solo Surakarta, Indonesia, this is a must-try food that I guarantee won't disappoint you.

On December 26th 2004, a 9.1 magnitude earthquake struck the northern tip of Sumatra, Indonesia, unleashing a massive tsunami that affected over ten countries (ABC News, 2014). This event was known as the 'Boxing Day Tsunami'.

The Boxing Day Tsunami killed at least 168,000 people on the island of Sumatra alone and left many injured and homeless (ABC News, 2014). Almost 20 years have passed, and although it has been rebuilt with more substantial structures, the event has left a painful and emotional impact on the residents, some facing trauma to this day.

The support and funds from other countries demonstrated unification in the face of a catastrophic event. This has saved lives and contributed to long-term recovery and rehabilitation. It is extraordinary how in the face of adversity, many countries are ready to and are willing to support, setting aside any disputes and prioritising cultural unity.

The most relevant aspect of Competency Standard 12.1 is that healthcare workers must be mindful of their cultural beliefs and how those values affect their interaction with patients. This includes recognising cultural impacts on healthcare decisions and choices made by people from immigrant or refugee backgrounds. I have improved my understanding of what it means to be culturally inclusive and realised what it means to be self-aware of my response to patients of different backgrounds. This is an essential skill for me in the workplace because being culturally competent helps bridge cultural gaps and improve the overall quality of care between nurse and patient, allowing therapeutic care to be practised easily.
