Nurses and midwives must be able to provide culturally safe health care to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Yatdjulugin: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nursing and Midwifery Care introduces readers to historical and contemporary approaches to Indigenous nurse-led theory, research and praxis. Now in its fourth edition, Yatdjuligin advocates for the knowledge and experiences of First Nations peoples to be prioritised across all health care contexts. New chapters on healthcare in custodial care settings, long-term health conditions and the effects of climate change on Indigenous people's health have been added. Updated case studies and reflective questions offer students realistic examples of theory in practice, encouraging them to consider and challenge their own beliefs and understandings. Written entirely by leading Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nurses, midwives, academics and researchers, Yatdjuligin is an essential resource for students establishing the foundations of culturally safe healthcare in their practice.

Yatdjuligin: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nursing and Midwifery Care introduces students to the fundamentals of health care of Indigenous Australians, encompassing the perspectives of both the client and the health practitioner. Written for all nurses and midwives, this book addresses the relationship between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and mainstream health services and introduces readers to practice and research in a variety of healthcare contexts. This new edition has been fully updated to reflect current research and documentation, with an emphasis on cultural safety. Three new chapters cover Torres Strait Islander health and wellbeing, social and emotional wellbeing in mainstream mental health services and quantitative research. Chapter content is complemented by case study scenarios, author reflections and reflection questions. These features illustrate historical and contemporary challenges, encourage students to reflect on their own attitudes and values, and provide strategies to deliver quality, person-centred health care.
