The World Health Organization's Constitution, in effect since April 7, 1948, defined health as "a state marked by complete mental, body and social well-being."(Sartorius, 2006).
To me, health holds immense importance. It represents more than just the absence of illness; it signifies a state where my physical, mental, and social aspects are in harmonious balance. When I enjoy good health, I am equipped with the vitality needed to pursue my interests, connect with my dear ones, and enthusiastically embrace new opportunities. It forms the bedrock upon which I construct my hopes and ambitions, enabling me to fully engage with life. Ultimately, health is a valuable asset that empowers me to relish each moment and work towards a brighter future.

DOMAIN 7: PROFESSIONAL-Competency standard 12.3 reflection

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, the key focus of Competency Standard 12.3 that stood out the most was providing care that is centered around the individual and their family.
Person-centred care respects the individual's unique background, values, and preferences, tailoring healthcare accordingly. Family-focused care involves the patient's family in their support and decision-making.
I've deepened my comprehension of person-centred care, which entails treating each person as an individual human being, rather than just a medical condition. I now realize the significant influence these principles can have on patient outcomes and their level of satisfaction. This newfound understanding has bolstered my confidence in delivering improved patient care and enhancing overall patient satisfaction.
This competency is crucial in my workplace as it nurtures trust and collaboration between healthcare professionals and patients. When patients experience being heard, respected, and engaged in their care, it increases their likelihood of adhering to treatment plans, openly discussing their health concerns, and ultimately achieving improved health results. Moreover, incorporating the patient's family can provide essential emotional support, thereby promoting a comprehensive approach to healthcare.

Country focus: Afghanistan

During the year 2020–21, Australia approved a combined total of 5,947 refugee and humanitarian visas. Afghanistan ranks among the top four countries in terms of being awarded refugee and humanitarian visas("Refugee Facts," n.d.).

The Australian Government has set aside 26,500 specific visa slots for Afghans to relocate to Australia under the offshore Humanitarian Program, and this allocation extends until 2026("Afghanistan Update," n.d.).

Three health problems that are commonly seen in people arriving from Afghanistan, as mentioned in the Australian Refugee Health Practice Guide, are Helicobacter pylori infection, Strongyloidiasis, and vitamin D deficiency("Refugee Health Guide," n.d.).

1. H. pylori is a bacteria that can infect the stomach lining, causing problems like stomach ulcers and gastritis.
Australian guidelines recommend a seven-day regimen of acid suppression therapy with a PPI, amoxicillin (safe during pregnancy), and clarithromycin (use with caution during pregnancy, category B3). For children, a 14-day treatment is advised("Refugee Health Guide," n.d.).
2. Strongyloidiasis is a parasitic infection caused by the roundworm Strongyloides stercoralis, commonly affecting the intestines.
If serology shows a positive result or Strongyloides larvae are detected in stool microscopy, administer two doses of ivermectin at a rate of 200 μg/kg on day 1 and day 14, for individuals weighing 15 kg or more("Refugee Health Guide," n.d.).
3. Vitamin D deficiency is a condition characterized by insufficient levels of vitamin D in the body, which can lead to health problems, including weakened bones and potential long-term health complications.
Individuals with low vitamin D levels should receive treatment to bring their levels back into the normal range. This treatment may involve daily or high-dose therapy, along with ensuring they consume sufficient calcium("Refugee Health Guide," n.d.).

Hot Pot is a communal dining experience centered around a bubbling broth in a metal pot. Raw ingredients like meat, vegetables, and seafood are cooked in this simmering broth and then dipped into flavorful sauces. Typically a main course, it's often enjoyed without side dishes.

Ingredients include thinly sliced beef, pork, lamb, veggies, mushrooms, rice noodles, shrimp, and seaweed, all cut into quick-cooking portions. Different ingredients have varying cooking times, so they are immersed and removed from the broth as needed.

After the meal, the infused broth can be served to diners, enriched with the flavors of the ingredients.

There are many different types of Chinese languages, and they belong to the Sino-Tibetan language family. Some of these languages are so different that people who speak one might not understand people who speak another. This difference is especially noticeable in the hilly southeastern part of China. People usually group these languages into categories like standard Chinese, Beijing dialect, Shanghai dialect and Shadi dialect, but there are some that we can't classify into any of these groups.
