The indigenous population is a special community. When it comes to healthcare, there are many factors to consider. This article focuses on four health factors that impact the health of a person of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander heritage. With a specific case concerning Uncle Jim. Many factors can affect an Indigenous person: access to health services, nutrition, lifestyle and income are covered in this article. For Uncle Jim's specific case, four health factors are identified and inform his care plan. The first factor that impacts the health of indigenous peoples is their access to health services. Health services include health care provided by general practitioners, nurses and allied health professionals. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) (2008), Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have a lower level of access to health services than other Australians. Distance may be one reason why Indigenous Australians have difficulty getting to the facilities they want. Compared to the general population, the percentage of medical facilities, including hospitals, indigenous primary health care and other community health centers, located in distinct indigenous communities was only 7%, while in the general population Overall, the percentage was 35% (ABS 2006). ). Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities also face many types of transport challenges. In 2008, 43% of Indigenous adults lived in an area where local transportation was not available (HAMAC 2012, p. 99). This also affects people's access to health facilities. People may not get the treatment they need while on site and middle of paper...... they are all affected by low income. As MacRae et al. (2012, p. 42) noted, Indigenous people who reported not consuming fruits or vegetables daily were more likely to be in the lowest income quintile. And another example from Bourke et al. (2012, p. 501) indicates that the low income of Indigenous residents of Ruralsville, as well as low social status and social marginalization, all lead to poorer health. People with low income are more likely to have difficulty getting the treatment they need. Some of them cannot afford medicines for a specific illness. A study by Kemp et al. (2013, p. 21) shows that prescription medications for chronic conditions represent a significant financial burden for low-income people. If a patient cannot receive the medication or surgery, their health will be affected by this situation and possibly lead to poor outcomes..
