Abstract | This chapter examines: In this large land, it will not surprise you to learn that people living outside metropolitan areas often experience life in quite different ways from city dwellers. The vast distances in rural Australia, plus the differences in living conditions, lifestyle and culture between city and country mean that health care for rural people needs to be considered within the context of rural life. That is, nurses and other health care professionals need to learn much more about rural life and rural communities, and appreciate the particular difficulties that confront rural people dealing with health problems, as well as the In this chapter, we will explore these issues by considering the Brown family's experiences with illness. |
