“…[39][40][41][42] As synthesised by Flemington and Fraser 43 cultural competence locates power in the professionals' hands to determine what competent care is, and predicates service delivery on 'treating everyone the same'. Being culturally responsive and promoting service-wide cultural safety on the other hand requires health professionals to actively respond to cultural differences 43 and engage in critical thinking and selfreflection in order build understanding of, among other things, the way (dominant) cultures and value systems inform practice that may negatively impact the quality and acceptability of services.…”

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers (A&TSIHWs) are a professional cadre of Australian health workers typically located in primary care clinics. The role is one of only two that is ‘identified’— that is, it must be occupied by an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person — and holds specific responsibilities in relation to advocating for facility-level cultural safety. However, lack of understanding of the distinctive skills, scope and value associated with the A&TSIHW role remains pervasive in the broader health workforce. Positioned to represent the perspective of those working as A&TSIHWs, and drawing on 83 in-depth interviews with A&TSIHWs and others, this qualitative study reports on the core functions and distinctive orientation of the role, and seeks to articulate its distinctive value in the modern Queensland health service. Findings highlight the multifaceted (generalist) nature of the A&TSIHW role, which comprises three core functions: health promotion, clinical service and cultural brokerage. Underpinning these cross-cutting functions, is the role’s unique orientation, defined by client-centredness and realised through Indigenous strengths based ways of knowing, being and doing. The findings highlight how the A&TSIHW role is one of the only mechanisms through which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge can be brought to bear on context-specific adaptations to routine health service practices; and through which the impacts of lack of cultural or self-awareness among some non-Indigenous health professionals can be mitigated. The complexity of such work in a government health system where a dominant biomedical culture defines what is valued and therefore resourced, is under-recognised and undervalued and contributes to pressures and stress that are potentially threatening the role's long-term viability.

“…Similarly, in the studies conducted with pediatricians in Germany (2019) and with nurses in Saudi Arabia, it was found that participants had trouble making a diagnosis because they did not receive any training and had little knowledge, and that most of them demanded training on child abuse and neglect (Salami & Alhalal, 2020; Wißmann et al., 2019). When the literature was examined, it was ascertained that healthcare professionals in many countries of the world had deficiencies in diagnosing child abuse and neglect, and that more regular training should be given on the subject to eliminate this deficiency (Basdas & Bozdag, 2018; Flemington & Fraser, 2017; Guven Bagla et al., 2017; Ozen et al., 2017; Salami & Alhalal, 2020; Sathiadas et al., 2018; Silva‐Oliveira et al., 2020; Tekin & Kaya Kilic, 2020) Interestingly enough, in our study, having received training on child abuse and neglect before did not create a statistically significant difference in the pre‐training DSRSCAN mean scores. In a study conducted by Tanoue et al in Japan with healthcare professionals, the baseline scores of the participants who had previously received training to deal with child maltreatment were found to be higher than those who had not previously received training (Tanoue et al., 2017).…”

“…These reasons are similar to the results of Basdas and Bozdag's study in which they investigated the level of the nurses' diagnosing the symptoms and risks of child abuse and neglect (Basdas & Bozdag, 2018). In the study conducted by Flemington and Fraser (2017), the leading reasons that prevented child abuse and neglect were the lack of knowledge of legal procedures and distrust in the institutions to which the case would be reported (Flemington & Fraser, 2017). In the study conducted by Silva-Oliveira et al ( 2020), it was revealed that a large majority of the healthcare professionals did not know about the appropriate official institutions/organisations to report abuse cases, and this situation showed that they did not have sufficient knowledge or training in reporting (Silva-Oliveira et al, 2020).…”

Child abuse and neglect is a public health problem that is seen in all societies and can have permanent negative effects on the individual. Child abuse and neglect, which falls under the general definition of child maltreatment according to the World Health Organization (WHO), is all kinds of physical and/or emotional ill-treatment, indifference and negligence, commercial and other exploitation of children under the age of 18 that negatively affect their health, survival, development or the sense of trust in relationships. According to WHO's 2020 data, approximately three of every four children aged between 2 and 4 are regularly exposed to corporal punishment and/or psychological violence by their parents and caregivers. Again, one of every five women and one of every 13 men report that they were

BACKGROUND Universities around the world, including Malaysia, have attracted many international students from different countries. Research has reported that acculturative stress resulting from international students’ attempts to adjust to the cultures of host countries is one of the most challenging issues that affects their lives in general and academic lives in particular. OBJECTIVE This study aims to examine the effectiveness of an educational intervention on acculturative stress among new postgraduate international students joining Malaysian public universities. METHODS A cluster randomized controlled trial design with Malaysian public universities as the unit of randomization will be used in this study. Public universities will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to be either in the intervention (educational program) or control group (waiting list). Participants in the intervention group will receive 7 sessions in 9 hours delivered by an expert in psychology and the researcher. The control group will receive the intervention once the 3-month follow-up evaluation is completed. RESULTS The data will be analyzed using the generalized estimation equation with a confidence interval value of 95%; significant differences between and within groups are determined as <i>P</i><.05. The results of the study underlie the effectiveness of educational program in decreasing acculturative stress of new international students and enabling them to cope with a new environment. The results of this study will contribute to previous knowledge of acculturative stress, acculturation, and adjustment of international students. Furthermore, such results are expected to play a role in raising university policy makers’ awareness of their postgraduate international students’ acculturative stress issues and how they can help them avoid such stress and perform well in their academic life. CONCLUSIONS We expect that the intervention group will score significantly lower than the wait-list group on the immediate and 3-month postintervention evaluation of acculturative stress and achieve a higher level of adjustment. Results will have implications for international students, policy makers at universities, the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education, and future research.
