Solitude is unique to each person but there are patterns we have observed that we believe shed some light on what kinds of changes we should be aware of and what those mean for well-being in that space during different phases of our lives. Across the lifespan, we tend to seek and tolerate time alone in a nonlinear way throughout our mortal journey from childhood to older adulthood. How we spend that time seems to matter quite a bit in terms of our contentment in solitude, as do the nature of our relationships beyond solitude. Solitude is like a garden in different seasons, what we sow and what we reap changes over time, and we have to be certain to plant what’s most likely to grow and thrive.
This chapter introduces Indigenous approaches to health care that have relevance for the Australian and Āotearoa New Zealand contexts. Several of the principles for practice are readily transferrable to other culturally and linguistically diverse populations. The challenges are undeniably major but the rewards are potentially transformative. Nursing training and education is most often located within mainstream, non-Indigenous settings. Health professionals who want to make a positive difference to the health outcomes of Indigenous clients should be equipped with knowledges and understandings that will facilitate effective engagement. Further, this chapter examines the historical influences that impacted on the health and well-being of Indigenous peoples in both Āotearoa New Zealand and Australia, and considers the need for adopting Indigenous approaches to health care practice and engagement such as cultural safety, cultural responsiveness and other cultural frameworks. Finally, it examines the role of the community nurse in Indigenous primary health care
