Health to me means that an individual can be physically, mentally or socially well without concern for disease or illness.

It is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity (WHO, 2023).

Early childhood development: If they are refugees at a young age trauma acts as a factor in this case and can have a long-term impact on children affecting their mental development. This can include PTSD and flashbacks.

2. Education: Different countries have different types of teaching methods when it comes to educating people of all ages. Language also acts as a barrier when moving to Australia for refugees and migrants as English is a first language at schools. One thing Australia does however is utilise interpreters when possible.

3. Food insecurity: When refugees and migrants leave their homes there is that problem of moving to a place that does not possess the same food and this happens all the time in Australia. Australia may have an international food isle, but it is not an isle for every country and even then some markets that claim to have diverse cultural food do not possess the traditional or even original food items.

Within my own family we share our beliefs and religions as it varies with each member, some are Christian or Catholic and pray for everyone to stay safe and healthy for all days to come while some are atheist still wishing the same thing. As a result of respecting each other's religions and character, we allow everyone to feel accepted causing people to express that towards others allowing for a healthier lifestyle for all.]]> 2023-10-11 05:39:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jorjaharnett1_/bg64tyols4i0h7eb/wish/2741206725 jorjaharnett1_ https://padlet.com/jorjaharnett1_/bg64tyols4i0h7eb/wish/2741212691 2023-10-11 05:45:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jorjaharnett1_/bg64tyols4i0h7eb/wish/2741212691 Mental health jorjaharnett1_ https://padlet.com/jorjaharnett1_/bg64tyols4i0h7eb/wish/2741292654 When having no choice but to leave the country one loves due to fear of persecution, leads to some serious trauma for people of all ages. Mental health is one of many health concerns that should be focused on. 

When speaking with a refugee or asylum seeker it is never okay to ask specifically what happened to them. It is evident that there is psychological trauma involved depending on the individual's behaviour or mood such as if they seem extremely worried or stressed. 

Building a good rapport with the individual is a good start to allow them to understand that they have support, someone to talk to or seek help from.

A solution to helping refugees and other migrants is to build rapport show support by showing sympathy and / or empathy.]]> 2023-10-11 06:49:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jorjaharnett1_/bg64tyols4i0h7eb/wish/2741292654 jorjaharnett1_ https://padlet.com/jorjaharnett1_/bg64tyols4i0h7eb/wish/2741424543 The music I am into personally is classic, pop and rock music. When listening to music such as this it makes me feel happier both mentally and physically. Music can help as it can relax the mind and body which as a result makes a person feel more well rested meaning a healthier lifestyle.]]> 2023-10-11 08:26:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jorjaharnett1_/bg64tyols4i0h7eb/wish/2741424543 jorjaharnett1_ https://padlet.com/jorjaharnett1_/bg64tyols4i0h7eb/wish/2741466569 2023-10-11 08:57:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jorjaharnett1_/bg64tyols4i0h7eb/wish/2741466569 Immunisations and Vaccinations jorjaharnett1_ https://padlet.com/jorjaharnett1_/bg64tyols4i0h7eb/wish/2741483401
People who are asylum seekers or refugees have a more significant risk of not being immunised on arrival to Australia, due to their forced migration status experience. The immunisation schedules in one country are different to that of Australia meaning that no one would arrive fully vaccinated.

As a result of not being fully vaccinated it is recommended migrants, refugees and asylum seekers receive a full catch-up immunisation. Another way to ensure full vaccination is to bring reliable evidence of vaccination status.



]]> 2023-10-11 09:11:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jorjaharnett1_/bg64tyols4i0h7eb/wish/2741483401 malaria jorjaharnett1_ https://padlet.com/jorjaharnett1_/bg64tyols4i0h7eb/wish/2741502187 Malaria is another health concern that can more easily occur to refugees and other migrant populations. The most vulnerable to deteriorate from this disease are children, pregnant women and those who have a low immunity.
 
Solutions: 
- Investigate anyone with malaria who has travelled from or throughout a malaria infected area within the past 3 months of arrival.
- Do an antigen- rapid diagnostic test (RDT)
- voluntary Departure Health Check

When we are calm, we are happiest and the most fun to be around! We still believe that medicine helps but we also believe a positive attitude and mind helps in this endeavour for a healthy lifestyle. ]]> 2023-10-11 09:31:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jorjaharnett1_/bg64tyols4i0h7eb/wish/2741509541 Food jorjaharnett1_ https://padlet.com/jorjaharnett1_/bg64tyols4i0h7eb/wish/2741509816 For my culture food we love most. From fish and chips and meat pies, to stir fry and desserts such as lamingtons. For me food brings everyone together and allows us to all chat about our day. This may not always be healthy physically, but it can be emotionally or spiritually healthy as it brings everyone together boosting morale.]]> 2023-10-11 09:32:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jorjaharnett1_/bg64tyols4i0h7eb/wish/2741509816 Sport jorjaharnett1_ https://padlet.com/jorjaharnett1_/bg64tyols4i0h7eb/wish/2741509912 My family and I have always been sports fans. Our traditional sport we have always gone for is Rugby or simply Rugby League. This involves tackling the person who has the ball before they get to the other side (your side) of the field. Sport is another fun activity as it brings us all together once again encouraging more friendships to emerge and to grow in strength.]]> 2023-10-11 09:32:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jorjaharnett1_/bg64tyols4i0h7eb/wish/2741509912 References of information jorjaharnett1_ https://padlet.com/jorjaharnett1_/bg64tyols4i0h7eb/wish/2741685981 References

When speaking to an interpreter it is important to use hand gestures, body and facial expressions. In addition to this, clinicians use specific speech and first-person pronouns with a non-English speaking person, this establishes rapport. 

In relation to building rapport it is also a good idea to use direct speech which means do not make the interpreter relay the questions you ask, simply talk to the patient. Maintain eye contact (if culturally appropriate) and congruent body language when a message is being translated to you. Acknowledge the interpreter when possible, allowing them to feel part of the team.]]> 2023-10-11 12:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jorjaharnett1_/bg64tyols4i0h7eb/wish/2741734166
