NURS1003 Imagining Health In Social And Cultural Contexts 2
Question:
One of the challenges facing health professionals is providing health and social support to vulnerable groups, including those who are marginalised on the basis of identity, association, experience and lifestyle. Marginalisation is the social process of being made marginal (being separated from the rest of society, occupying the fringes, and of lower social standing). Marginalisation, which is often the outcome of stigmatisation and discrimination, has a negative impact on health because marginalised people have poor access to the social determinants of health.
This assignment will provide students with an opportunity to understand the impact of marginalisation on vulnerable populations in Australian society and to propose processes for ameliorating the effects of marginalisation on health and wellbeing.
Students will be allocated to a presentation group during the semester and groups will be provided with access to their group members through the Blackboard function, “My Groups”. Group members should make contact with each other to start organising tasks and the group process. Each group will develop a presentation based on a marginalised population. The presentations will critically analyse (i.e., not just describe) the health and social status of the marginalised population, with reference to:
Topic:
The role of the three sectors: government, private and civil society to the refugee people in Australia. (which includes non-government organisations)
Note: (script for 4 min and 5 Slides)
- Please build one Power point presentation
- Script in the Microsoft word document
- Please use key topic in every slide .
- Use picture or diagram if necessary. (Please provide reference and link if you use picture from internet).
Introduction (all group members are responsible for the content in the introduction and conclusion)
• The title slide should clearly identify the marginalised population and the names of the students who have contributed to the presentation.
• Use the Introduction to tell the audience about your main stance or position on the needs of the marginalised group. In other words, provide a thesis statement: What are the main health issues? What would improve the current situation?
• Do not use the Introduction to provide a Table of Contents (your tutor and the audience already know what you will cover, generally).
Content
Students will need to briefly define key terms as they apply to their marginalised population. Also, you need to search academic literature, government and non-government sources, including web-based reports. The content areas may overlap, so group members will need to share information with each other and develop a coherent and comprehensive presentation. Your presentation will:
• Critically discuss issues and factors contributing to the marginalisation, stigma and/ or discrimination of your allocated population in Australian society.

Australian government has developed policies for the refugees and the health care of these people and this policy is about the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) statement. The statement states health assessments, access to healthcare, promoting long-term health in the community, and asylum seekers and held detention would be the four factors for the refugees in the country. College Policy and Advocacy Committee (CPAC) developed for the health assessment. The screen or assessment process includes the maternity screening, infection disease screening and also mental health screening for proper health care providence to the people with proper VISA. However, improper or expired VISA people would be transferred to sea way or put into detention and the health care would also be neglected. However, the assessment would be continued (Racp.edu.au, 2020).
Involving financial organisations for the fund development. Developing Medicare or health insurance processes for the legitimate refugees. The care process is costly and non-accessible for all the refugee community members. However, the care delivery process is high quality and equal for the people from the refugee background. The health care system is not discriminating for the people seeking asylum (www2.health.vic.gov.au, 2020).
World Health organization and other non-governmental health and social care providers works for the refugee care (World Health Organization, 2020). The organisations provide care to the people through addressing the social determinants of health that is improving health literacy, providing health care access to the people from lower economic group. Developing health promotion programs to mitigate the common health issues. Providing subsidised care to the people who do not have the care access. Developing primary care facility.
These three sectors work on the changing and modifying the policies of care for the refugees. Three sectors collaborate to provide discrimination free care along with the discrimination free care as well. The factor of the collaboration leads to the development of the effective policy and also reduction of the negligence. However, the legitimacy of the migration should be considered with higher priority and these three sectors re working that factor with higher priority. Health promotion programs conducted (Refugeehealthguide.org.au, 2020). Government and non-government organisations develop subsidised care policy. The legitimacy of refuge and lower socio-economic status can avail the care process.
Based on the above discussion it can be concluded that the health care policy for the people from the refugee community is affected with some critical and political processes. However, the care process is focusing on the care delivery to the people with normal procedures. Health care policies are changing with time. Government and other health care organisations seek improved care facility without discrimination for the refugees. Health disparities are present due to lack of education, socio-economic status and also psychosocial factors. Discrimination less care process is developed for the improvement in the health condition of people from the refugee community. However, the policy is strict about the legitimacy of the Visa or the document to pass the detention.
