The unit will examine the spectrum of intrapersonal and interpersonal social contexts, including culturally safe contexts with First Nations Peoples. In essence, this unit focuses on relationships in health care practice.
Knowing and recognising self is essential in the development of caring collaborations that are therapeutic. Focusing on 'knowing self', this unit considers self-awareness and evaluation to achieve therapeutic alliances in health care, including exploring the complex ways that nurses deal intimately with other peoples' bodies during nursing work.
