Full Description
Nurses and midwives must be able to provide culturally safe health care to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Yatdjulugin: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nursing and Midwifery Care introduces readers to historical and contemporary approaches to Indigenous nurse-led theory, research and praxis. Now in its fourth edition, Yatdjuligin advocates for the knowledge and experiences of First Nations peoples to be prioritised across all health care contexts. New chapters on healthcare in custodial care settings, long-term health conditions and the effects of climate change on Indigenous people's health have been added. Updated case studies and reflective questions offer students realistic examples of theory in practice, encouraging them to consider and challenge their own beliefs and understandings. Written entirely by leading Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nurses, midwives, academics and researchers, Yatdjuligin is an essential resource for students establishing the foundations of culturally safe healthcare in their practice.
