Health also means taking care of yourself - through good nutrition, regular exercise, enough sleep, and managing stress. Moreover, eating healthy is a crucial component of maintaining good physical health and staying fit. ]]> 2023-10-03 10:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/srehal6/a1k9y2nx1dxnt0d0/wish/2729972186 Punjabi Food srehal6 https://padlet.com/srehal6/a1k9y2nx1dxnt0d0/wish/2729976893 Aloo Paratha is a popular and delicious Indian flatbread made with whole wheat flour and a filling of spiced mashed potatoes.

This experience provided me with a profound opportunity to apply the principles of cultural competence and reflect on Domain 7 of the 'Culturally Responsive Clinical Practice: Working with People from Migrant and Refugee Backgrounds' competency standards framework.

Recognizing the importance of cultural competence, I committed to continuous learning about Afghan culture and the refugee experience. As I am from India, so, Hindi is my national language which correlates with Urdu and the patient was fluent in Urdu. So, it was easy for me to communicate with the patient. By actively listening, and showing empathy, I built trust and achieved better patient-centered care outcomes, highlighting the significance of Competency Standard 12.3 in culturally responsive clinical practice. This experience reinforced my dedication to ongoing cultural education in healthcare.

Education- As, I am from India and completed my studies in the field of Pharmacy and Nursing. It was really challenging for me to find a job as an Assistant in Nursing or Assistant in pharmacy. So, I have completed a Certificate III in aged care to get a job.
Social Inclusion and non-discrimination- As some of the immigrants are not fluent in English. So, they feel excluded at the workplace and educational institutes.
Income and social protection- Some of the migrants face financial issues and majority of migrants lives without their family members. which may negatively impact their health.
