Australian awards scholarship For Nursing
Narrator Since the nineteen fifties, thousands of South Asian
leaders have seized the opportunity to further their, knowledge at Australian
universities through prestigious Australia awards.
scholarships their new knowledge and skills are, improving
countless lives in their home countries, Muna I love nursing ... and I love
knowledge also,
and I want to develop
that in my students, Narrator Meet Fathimath.
When she returned from her, masters studies at Monash
University under an Australia Awards scholarship, she became, instrumental in
setting-up the Maldives' first ever bachelor of nursing course.
Muna Through the bachelor of nursing programmer, we are hoping
that we can provide a higher quality of nursing care throughout the different, areas
in Maldives, not only here in Male, but in the Atolls, Huna My home island is
Hinnavar ... there we have, lots of houses, few trees and lots of people.
Huna We have one health center where we can get, vaccinations ...,
Huna If an emergency case comes, for example a, person with shortness of breath
or with pain in the chest ... they can take ECG or they, can provide oxygen
supplies and they refer the patient immediately to the nearest hospital Huna If
the patient or anyone from our island has, to travel to other islands they have
to take boat ... It takes about 7-8 hours by boat,
to reach Male and most of the time they travel at night.
Huna ... My own grandfather was a bedridden patient, and he
was bedridden for about two years and he was taken care of by my mother and
father.
I wonder always, why is he bedridden, why can't he walk and
how can he be treated.
First of all, he was
not able to walk so he was lying on the bed, but he can take food, orally but
later on he was not able to take food and he was given only liquid directly,
So, I was wondering what will be done if we were abroad, I
mean if we were in Male or some, other places where we get good facilities.
What will be the nursing care, what will be, the care given by
the professionals so I wanted to know how to give care to the bedridden, patients,
how to give care to the geriatric patients. That was my inspiration for me to, become
a nurse. 13:00. Muna During my master’s programme in Australia
I, got knowledge regarding different instructional techniques
and different assessments we can, do for
assessing students, and also how to build that relationship between my
students, and me In our culture that
relationship can be very, distant than
in other western, Australian cultures so from there I learnt how important, it
is to have a good friendly relationship with the students 14:53.,Narrator
Drawing on what she learned and the Bachelor, of Nursing curriculum used by
Monash University, Fatimah worked with her lectures and colleagues, to draft
the Maldives' first such course. This means that young people Huna can now,
study a higher level of nursing without the expense and
difficulties of going abroad.
Muna The role of bachelor nurses in improving health, care
will be I believe mainly in health promotion and health prevention area. Muna
They will have increased knowledge of health, Education assessment so when they
go and assess patients, they should be able to identify those,
who will need a higher level of care so they can be referred
earlier instead of waiting, until the last moment?
Huna I would go back to my island and apply this, knowledge I
have learned here, like giving awareness to the geriatric patient's relatives,
so that they can stay at home and give care to the patients.
Huna, I know there are less facilities in our island, but I
can give awareness so that they can take care of themselves.
Muna I think the biggest reward is yet to come, to see better
nursing care all over the country. 26:03, Narrator Thanks in part to her
Australia Awards scholarship, Fathimath and her colleagues are now working on a
national master’s course to help improve, health services even further. Scores
of students like Huna will graduate soon as the Maldives, first home-trained
bachelor-level nurses.
