  Speaker 1: political landscape, Katie Wolf has it covered on three sixty
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: every one is listening Mixed one oh four point nine.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Aboriginal heart patients from the remote from remote Northern Territory
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: communities is soon going to be able to use new
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: videos to learn about their heart treatments and procedures in language,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: with Royaldale and Hospital developing videos in multiple Aboriginal languages
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: and joining us on the line to tell us a
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: little bit more about this is Cardiology Research and Quality
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Nurse Justine Williams. Good morning to you, Justine.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Good morning.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Now tell us a little bit more about these videos
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: and why they've been developed.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, So we've been looking at our resources here at
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: the Royal Dale Hospital and looking at how we can
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: benefit our Aboriginal patients and we've found that our resources,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: we have got some resources in language with their really
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: long and difficult to understand. So we've redeveloped some resources
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: in sort of SoundBite moller short shorter time resources which
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: hopefully patients be able to better understand the concepts of
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: heart tests and so how you.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Know how often I suppose nurses like yourself and others
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: in a situation where where you may be trying to
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: explain to a patient who you know, who has to
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: have a fairly serious and comprehensive treatment done. You know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: how often are you in a situation where it can
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: be quite difficult to explain exactly what they need done?
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Every day, So every day you've got at least,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: you know, two to three patients that need to go
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: to have the current antigram done, and probably two of
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: those three patients would not have English as their first language.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: So it does provide a real barrier for us if
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: we don't have the right resources to be able to
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: help us explain procedures.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and so obviously are these these videos, well, I
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: guess you know they're they're used by the Royal Dalhen
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Hospital cardi Clinical Nurse Consultants and they are used for
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: those patients who are maybe in from remote communities.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Yep, that's right. So we do visit twenty five remote
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: communities our cardiac team, and often patients don't just come
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: into emnity department they have an aigram, they do come
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: in electively to the hospital and so we can educate
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: them now in their community when we see them in
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: their on these outdoreach trips or even better, the chronic
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: disease nurses or health workers in the community can show
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: the videos to the patients as well.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, at the end of the day,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: whether I guess, when you're talking about any kind of operation,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: no matter what a nationality or race you are, it
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: can be quite frightening. And then when you don't really
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: understand or you can't really you know, you sort of
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: can't wrap your head around exactly what treatment you're getting done,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: it would make it even more difficult.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it can be really tricky. And making sure patients
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: are what you say, can sentence so they actually understand it,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: they're not it's going to happen to them, is really
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: it's you know, it's the legal requirement, so we need
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: to do it, and so these videos will definitely help,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: and we'll also of course always use the interpreting service
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, justin it sounds like it could be a
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: bit of a game changer for you guys in terms
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: of trying to explain some of these comprehensive, you know,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: sort of operations and treatments that need to happen.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, and The great thing about these ones too,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: is they're going to be based their web back web based,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: so they're not on a USB stick or a DVD player,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: so you can use them anywhere in the hospital on eyward,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: in the remote communities, even if you're down in SA,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: you're leaving down there and you don't speak the language,
• 3:44
