Cultural respect is essential for effective health service delivery to people of all backgrounds, but is especially significant in the context of the unacceptably poor health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. This assignment has been designed to provide students with an opportunity to explore their own perceptions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and the
consequences of personal bias for culturally safe nursing practice.

Following viewing a video in out of class time, students will prepare an essay which will analyse interpersonal and intra-personal communication and the effect this has on the quality and safety of experiences of patients and consumers of health care. The essay will further include discussion of the connotations of bias for nursing practice and how it may impact the ability to deliver culturally safe and respectful care.
