Hi, I am struggling to write a reflective essay further details below but it needs to be a 1500 word essay which covers topic 1 & 2 and has an introduction & conclusion. The essay must be written using the DIEP model so layout would be Intro -> Topic 1 D, I, E, P -> Topic 2 D, I, E, P -> Conclusion. 4 Steps of DIEP Model Step 1 – Describe: Begin by briefly describing the event, reading, statement or video that you have chosen to reflect on. What did you see, read, hear, or do? This section needs to be brief, concise, informative and provide the basis for your reflection (word count 100 words). Step 2 – Interpret: Next, explain your learning: any new insights, connections to other learning, your feelings, conclusions. Ask yourself “What have I learned?” “How does this add to what I already knew?” “How do I feel about my current skills, knowledge or ability in this area?” (Word count 150-200 words) Step 3 – Evaluate: Make a judgement. Consider how useful this experience was for you? What is your opinion and why do you think this might be? How might this experience influence how you approach developing cultural competence? (Word count 200-250 words) Step 4 – Plan: Consider how this experience might inform your future thoughts or actions as a health practitioner. How might you apply what you’ve learned from the experience in the future? What might you still need to do, learn, or unlearn? Be specific about this part. (Word count 100 words) Task Developing cultural competence in healthcare cannot be done without self-reflection. This task builds upon and extends your work in Assessment 1 Reflective Journal and your Reflective Learning Journal entries. You will consider areas where you have noted changes in your thinking, feelings and learning with a focus on both topics below and reflect on how these learning experiences might inform your future actions as a health practitioner. Topic 1. The impact of colonisation on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and communities, and the ongoing effects of this on the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Topic 2. Unconscious bias in healthcare; identifying your personal unconscious biases in relation to one of the following: LGBTIQ+ People living with disability Refugees Migrants Age Minimum of 5 references need to be used and APA7 Referencing. If it helps 2 prescribed texts for the subject are: Working Together: Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Mental Health and Wellbeing principles and pracice by Pat Ddugeon et al Culture, Diversity & Health in Australia Towards Culturally Safe Health Care byt TInashe Dune et al I am located in Australia.
