The future of culture, diversity and health in Australia : culturally safe teaching and learning
No full textThis final chapter provides a cultural safety curriculum model to assist tertiary health discipline educators to create content and assessment tasks that support the development of a culturally safe health workforce. The chapter also provides educators with interprofessional activities that help students develop the required capacities and skills in line with national accreditation expectations. In this chapter, readers will find multimedia links to provide students with examples of culturally safe practice (for example, developing self-awareness, enacting cultural responsiveness, culturally safe communication), case studies to assist with tutorial discussions or to be used as assessment tasks. This chapter consolidates and expands on the learning outcomes within each chapter into demonstrable and assessable outputs aligned with national cultural safety requirements. This will also allow students to indicate the ways in which they have worked towards each cultural safety requirement and in what areas they seek to continue their cultural safety journeys
An introduction to culture diversity and health in Australia
No full textThis chapter introduces students to the social and cultural diversity of Australia. It defines diversity and notes the extent of diversities across the Australian population. Students then review introductory aspects of health and wellbeing in relation to diversity in Australia and the concept of social determinants of health. In this chapter students will begin the process of self-awareness and self-reflection and be tasked with exploring their own identities within Australia’s diverse context and the ways in which this may impact their health and wellbeing. The chapter finally engages students to start thinking about their role as healthcare professionals in Australia’s multicultural society and how they can engage with the concepts presented within the book. This chapter will briefly introduce the concept of cultural safety and provide a summary of the book’s three major parts
Principles of cultural safety
No full textThis chapter will formally introduce students to the theory of cultural safety as an interdisciplinary and interprofessional model of healthcare. The history, contention, criticisms of, and necessity for cultural safety will also be discussed, along with related topics of racism, White privilege, discrimination and power. The principles of cultural safety, including social justice, trust, respect, self-awareness, and self-reflection, will be discussed in relation to forming the basis of culturally safe practice. The need for robust partnerships negotiated with diverse groups of people and their respective health needs will also be highlighted as a key component of cultural safety. Furthermore, this chapter will include a focus on the availability, accessibility and acceptability of healthcare for diverse populations as a health equity issue. Mind maps and other resources will also be used to explore ways in which the cultural values, attitudes and beliefs of individuals, healthcare organisations and health systems can impact and shape healthcare relationships
Culturally safe health care practice
No full textIn this chapter students begin to link their previous understandings to practical outcomes and goals. The chapter highlights how an ongoing, lifelong process of self-reflection and critical thinking enables the principles of cultural safety (as described in Chapters 4 and 5) to be translated into healthcare practice. Students will be given the opportunity to explore what it means to embed the principles of cultural safety in individual healthcare practice, organisational policy and processes and healthcare systems. This chapter will therefore include practical and applied approaches to working with diverse populations that highlight the importance of client-centred and flexible approaches. Students will explore the relevance and place of partnerships and advocacy in their health profession and careers. Case studies will provide students with opportunities to assess cultural safety in themselves, healthcare environments and systems. Students will also engage with multimedia in order to enhance their understandings of the process of acquiring and developing cultural safety as a lifelong journey and undertake activities to assist them in identifying the areas where they require further work
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
