Abstract | This paper reports on a study that was based on the expectation that using interactive multimedia technology to develop an up-to-date education program for Aboriginal health workers has the potential to expand and reinforce their professional skills throughout their careers. It could maintain and improve their capabilities, improve the quality of healthcare delivery and overall health outcomes for their patients; empower them by being self independent learning, build up self-confidence by allowing them to apply this new learning technology in their work. This article first looks at the Aboriginal health gaps, then explains the approach and findings. Then through a qualitative semi-structure open ended interview as a general need assessment for Interactive multimedia program development, it explores the factors affecting Aboriginal health workers' ability to have more control over their continuing education and being self–esteem and confidence. |
