| Abstract |
This DVD has been designed to try and help health services staff understand Aboriginal people better, to give a brief insight into their culture, and to hopefully help break down cultural barriers. By seeing through the eyes of an Aboriginal patient within our hospital system, it can help us better understand their needs and improve our methods of communication and in turn our service delivery. – container.
Video segment Breaking Down the Barriers - Part 1 is the advice to health services staff, 14 min., and Breaking Down the Barriers - Part 2 is an 8 min. segment in which Aboriginal health services staff discuss the Caucasian patient Joe’s condition and treatment in an Aboriginal language which Joe can’t understand. An Aboriginal interpreter later appears and explains the consent form to Joe.
