QUESTION AND ANSWER CASE STUDY 2
Case Study 1
Question one
There are various social determinants that apply to Joanna. One of the determinant is that of
education. If Joanna would be educated she would find it easier engaging in healthy behaviours
rather than visiting the midwife for assistance. However, her seeking some help from Aboriginal
health center is not a bad idea but if she could be educated, that could not be the next move for
her. Her saying that she will join a local university so that she can become a midwife is a sign of
education. The social support that she gets from Aboriginal midwife will contribute greatly
towards the wellbeing of Joanna.
Question two
One of the policy is that of social strategy for circumstantial to indigenous health. The policy
shows both the domestic and also international evidence which state that people have the right to
access high quality health care which is essential towards enhancing the indigenous health status.
Therefore, the policy plays a great role towards Joanna in that she has a right towards receiving a
high quality medical care so as to enhance the wellbeing of her state. Despite her getting care
from the midwife, she needs to get more care which is more advanced also. This will help greatly
towards building her wellbeing.
Question three
Institutional racism causes great impacts which are negative to the society. Joanna opts to attend
a local university so that she can succeed in becoming a midwife. This is as a result of her
meeting the friendly midwife in the health facility. This is quite clear that that the quality of
education given in the local university is not that good. Her sorting care from the midwife is also

clear that institutional racism has negative impacts because the nature of care she is given there is
not of high quality. Therefore, institutional racism has caused negative impacts towards Joanna
leading to her wanting to join a local university (Bell, Adams, 2016).
Question four
Health beliefs are the personal convictions which influence the health behaviors. The boyfriend
of Joanna feels is very young to be a father. On the other hand Joanna feels that she cannot bear
the burden of being raised with her younger children due to her parents. This makes her to move
out of the home and seek for medical care from the nearby Aboriginal center. Through her
personal conviction and friendly nature of the midwife who was giving her care, she develops an
urge of also going to local university so as to become a midwife. Through her personal
convictions, she feels culturally save with the midwife due to the health and caring nature she
was giving her (Kelder, Hoelscher, Perry, 2015).
Question five
Joanna is hesitant towards using mainstream health due to the following. Her being Aboriginal
shows that she is culturally segregated hence cannot manage to seek mainstream health services.
Secondly, she comes from a humble background. She opts to move out of their home because
she cannot bear the burden of being raised with her 7. One of the attitude is that of trying to
make one believe that pregnancy is a disease of nine months. If the impression was created in
the mind of Joanna, she could have lost hope and even aborted the child.
