Health to me means feeling really good, in terms of physical, mental, and social well-being. It’s about not being sick or feeling bad in any way. Instead, it’s a state where everything in my body and how I think and feel works just right. It’s like having lots of energy and doing all the things I enjoy without any problems. So, good health is when I’m not sick, I feel happy and have the energy to do the things I love daily.

Several social determinants have a harmful impact on refugee's and migrants’ health. Some of these crucial factors are:

Unemployment and job insecurity: Refugees often encounter even greater obstacles in securing suitable employment due to language barriers when they arrive in a new country. Additionally, refugees and migrants often face difficulties in having their qualifications recognized, and differences in Australian standards can profoundly impact their mental, physical, and social well-being due to the stress and issues caused by unemployment.

Housing: Refugees often face poor quality housing as they struggle to afford suitable accommodations, and these overcrowded conditions can present physical health risks. Insufficient housing conditions can lead to physical health issues and a higher vulnerability to infectious diseases, Additionally, they can negatively affect mental well-being, inducing stress and insecurity.

Working life conditions: Migrants and refugees commonly experience distinctive workplace challenges, such as language barriers, discrimination, and obstacles in getting their foreign qualifications recognized. Moreover, limited access to good job opportunities can also obstruct their insecurity, due to these unfavorable working conditions, leading to stress, insecurity, and other issues, ultimately impacting their overall health and welfare.

Due to the Syrian civil war in 2011 millions of Syrian families were obliged to leave their homes. (Maldari et al., 2019, p. xx)
In September 2015, The Australian government announced its intention to provide resettlement for an additional 12,000 individuals displaced due to the conflicts in Syria and Iraq. (Chia, 2016)
Three Health concerns mentioned in the Australian Refugee Health Practice Guide that were encountered by the people before they arrived in Australia include chronic non-communicable diseases, mental health, and low Vitamin D.

Chronic non-communicable diseases in adults: Among Syrian refugees, these included hypertension, diabetes, and mental health disorders. However, hypertension is the most prevalent non-communicable disease among Syrian refugees. The treatment option for hypertension is lifestyle adjustments including promoting a healthy diet, low sodium diet, regular physical activity, and monitoring blood pressure regularly. ("Chronic non-communicable diseases in adults," n.d.)

Mental health: After the conflicts, Syrian refugees often encountered mental health problems which included symptoms like anxiety, poor sleep, depression, because of the resettlement, and other concerns. One treatment option for mental health challenges is psychotherapy, which focuses on changing negative thoughts and behaviors by interacting with a mental health professional. ("Mental health » Australian refugee health," n.d.)

Low vitamin D: Vitamin D deficiency is a significant concern as it can adversely affect the bone and muscle health of the refuges. The factors that lead to Vitamin D deficiency are dark skin, sun exposure, and less sunlight and it can lead to fatigue, bone, and muscle pain. The primary treatment is to provide Vitamin D supplements based on age to maintain Vitamin D levels. ("Low vitamin D » Australian refugee health," n.d.)

For me, the most relevant aspect of competency standard 12.1 from Domain 7 was to recognize and respect the profound influence of culture on the healthcare choices made by individuals from migrant and refugee backgrounds. I have developed my awareness and skills in interpreting their cultural values and beliefs, contemplating how these factors shape their interactions. Having learned about addressing biases, enhancing and improving communication, confronting prejudices, and augmenting understanding of different cultures, I now feel that I would be able to deliver culturally appropriate care.

Furthermore, this understanding will be essential to me in the workplace because I will uphold the autonomy of individuals from migrant and refugee backgrounds concerning their healthcare decisions. Additionally, I will acknowledge the influence of their cultural background on these choices. ("Culturally Responsive Clinical Practice," n.d.)
