Australia is a crime scene: Natalie Harkin’s intervention on national numbness and the national ideal
Authors: Atkinson Meera
Published: July 2021

Sara Ahmed analyses the construction of the national ideal, conceiving of nationhood

as a formation dependent on the stickiness of an ideal-image informed by complex

individual and collective physic processes. In this article, I focus on the Narungga poet,

artist, and scholar Natalie Harkin’s debut collection of poems, Dirty Words, through the

lens of Ahmed’s work on the socialisation of affect to argue that Harkin’s poetics stage

an intervention on national numbness (a consequence, in part, of Australia’s traumatic

establishment as a penal colony) and Australia’s Anglo-centric national ideal. I

examine Harkin’s challenge to those who continue to fly the traumatising, colonising

flag and her witnessing to transgenerational trauma in the post-invasion context,

showing how her testimony confronts the denial and division entrenched in the national

ideal, past and present. Harkin’s mediation contributes to a burgeoning First Nations

poetics in Australia that demands recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander

peoples’ experience and knowledge, and calls for justice, accountability, reflection, and

response from non-Indigenous Australians.
‘First the misery, then the trauma’: the Australian trauma memoir
Authors: Brien Donna Lee
Published: July 2021

This article focuses on the trauma memoir as an identifiable type of creative writing. It

begins by tracing its popularity, especially in the 1990s, in the process recognising

what can be proposed as key works internationally, many of which—but not all—are

American, as well as how these texts were received by critics and readers, in order to

place the Australian trauma memoir in this broader context. The so-called ’misery

memoir’ is also discussed. As little investigation has focused on the Australian trauma

memoir as a form of memoir, this article will profile some (mostly recent) examples of

Australian trauma memoir in order to begin to investigate what these texts contribute to

our understanding of the trauma memoir as a form of creative writing. This recognises

debates over the literary and social value of memoirs.
Beyond Trigger Warnings: Working towards a strengths-based, trauma-informed model of resilience in the university creative writing workshop
Authors: Russon Penni
Published: July 2021

The creative writing workshop is an environment that relies on intimacy, empathy,

trust, and connection. While the writer’s workshop in the university is not a therapeutic

space, it is not a place of emotional neutrality. The way students experience the

workshop as a place of safety or risk can affect their capacity to learn. How do we

promote resilience among our students, particularly those experiencing mental illhealth or trauma? While trigger warnings may have a place in creating a safe space,

they risk drawing attention to negative emotions and negative experiences, narrowing

the focus of the threatened individual, and this may have the unwanted effect of

reducing the capacity to learn. This paper explores two frameworks for a strengthsbased model of trauma-informed practice in the creative writing workshop that builds

on positive emotions, positive meaning, autonomy, competence and social relatedness.
The human hole: Problematic representations of trauma in Jonathan Safran Foer’s Everything is illuminated and Extremely loud and incredibly close
Authors: Dowling Sarah
Published: July 2021

Jonathan Safran Foer’s novels Everything is illuminated and _Extremely loud and

incredibly close_ are commonly read as trauma fiction—works that incorporate insights

from literary trauma theory. This paper argues that these novels give rise to

implications that are difficult to reconcile with that theory. Foer’s signature motif of

‘holes’ alludes not only to trauma but also to post-structural theories of language and a

postmodern sense of the absence of an all-synthesising paradigm of truth. By conflating

these concepts, his novels evoke an original, structural trauma, which problematises the

practical imperative of trauma theory to work through trauma. In its place, as I

illustrate, Foer’s novels advance a challenging philosophy of living with inexorable

trauma: this ethic, which demands authenticity but discounts healing or selfpreservation, and even apparently endorses suicide, highlights the dangers of ignoring

Dominick LaCapra’s warning against confusing absence with loss when talking about

trauma.
REAFIRMASI MONOTEISME TRINITARIAN TERHADAP KONSEP HENOTEISME DIKALANGAN ORANG KRISTEN
Authors: Uling Manintiro
Published: July 2021

Artikel ini memaparkan mengenai konsep monoteisme Trinitarian sebagai sebutan lain, dari doktrin Trinitas yang merupakan Theisme Kristen, sebagaimana yang diwahyukan Alkitab. Akan tetapi, pada kenyataannya pemahaman sebagian orang Kristen terhadap monoteisme Trinitarian seringkali tanpa disadari terjebak pada konsep henoteisme. Mengakui atau menyembah satu Allah, tetapi tidak menyangkali keberadaan allah-allah lain, sehingga muncullah klaim bahwa Allah yang disembahnya adalah Allah yang unggul, daripada “allah-allah” lain. Itulah sebabnya pentingnya menegaskan kembali pemahaman monoteisme Trinitarian bagi setiap orang Kristen. Kajiannya akan menggunakan studi literatur Injili, berdiskusi dengan literatur dari non Injili untuk mengumpulkan berbagai data dari buku, dan jurnal yang relevan dengan topik yang dibahas. Ternyata monoteisme Trinitarian, bukanlah henoteisme. Henoteisme merupakan produk mitologi Yunani kuno, fenomena agama, tidak bersumber dari Alkitab dan bukanlah Allah sejati.

Published: July 2021

Misi holistik adalah misi yang dijabarkan secara utuh atau menyeluruh. Sedangkan Perawatan Paliatif adalah perawatan yang tidak hanya menekankan pada aspek fisik saja, tetapi juga berfokus terhadap aspek-aspek psikososial, emosional serta spiritual untuk meningkatkan kualitas hidup seorang pasien. Dalam implementasinya, ditemukan bahwa pelayanan Perawatan Paliatif perkembangannya sangat lamban di tiap daerah di Indonesia. Di Kota Wisata Batu sendiri, baru Rumah Sakit Baptis Batu lah yang sudah terbentuk dan berjalan Tim Paliatifnya. Adapun tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui Implementasi Misi Holistik bagi Tim Paliatif di Rumah Sakit Baptis Batu Jawa Timur. Penelitian ini menggunakan paradigma penelitian naturalistik yang didasarkan pada filsafat fenomenologis dengan pendekatan penelitian kualitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi. Beberapa hasil temuan dari penelitian ini, diantaranya: Masih ada ketidakselarasan antara mandat budaya dan mandat penginjilan yang seharusnya berjalan secara simultan dalam misi yang holistik yang dikerjakan di Rumah Sakit Baptis Batu. Kedua, Perawatan Paliatif lahir dari pengalaman rohani iman Kristen yang begitu kuat dari Cicely Saunders, pendiri dari pergerakan Hospice dan Paliatif modern. Ketiga, waktu dalam perkunjungan rutin kepada pasien-pasien dari rumah ke rumah (home care), dirasa sangat singkat. Berdasarkan temuan-temuan dalam penelitian ini, maka di bagian akhir penulis memberikan beberapa rekomendasi kepada Rumah Sakit Baptis Batu yaitu dengan mengadakan program seminar atau pelatihan misi holistik untuk seluruh stakeholder Rumah Sakit, persekutuan bersama anggota Tim Paliatif, dan juga kunjungan terjadwal diluar waktu perkunjungan rutin, sehingga Tim Paliatif lebih menghayati tiap tugas dan peran mereka dalam Perawatan Paliatif.
PENDAMPINGAN PASTORAL KONSELING BAGI ORANG SAKIT TERMINAL Di KLASIS KUPANG TENGAH – GEREJA MASEHI INJILI DI TIMOR
Authors: Manafe Debertje Setriani , Pelamonia Risart
Published: July 2021

Orang sakit terminal adalah tahap akhir dari suatu kondisi tubuh atau pikiran yang tidak sehat. Orang sakit terminal adalah orang yang hampir mati atau disebut dengan keadaan yang tidak dapat diubah, yaitu ketika tidak ada alat-alat medis yang diketahui ada untuk memperbaiki orang yang terluka atau proses penyakit yang membawa kepada kematian. Pastoral konseling merupakan salah satu pelayanan pemulihan untuk melayani manusia seutuhnya. Orang sakit bukan hanya membutuhkan obat bagi tubuh, melainkan membutuhkan pelayanan kasih yang menghadirkan Tuhan Yesus di tengah-tengah penderitaan. Pelayanan kepada orang sakit terminal dengan bentuk pendampingan pastoral konseling merupakan upaya untuk menjawab dan mengatasi pergumulan terakhir, yaitu orang sakit terminal dapat meninggal dunia dengan kekayaan rohani sebagai anak Allah dan dapat menerima panggilan Allah yaitu kematiannya dalam syalom. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menunjukkan kontribusi pendampingan pastoral konseling bagi orang sakit terminal. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian studi kasus dan analisis isi dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Penelitian kualitatif lebih menekankan pada diri peneliti sebagai alat. Hasil yang diperoleh dalam penelitian ini adalah pertama Gereja Masehi Injili di Timor – Klasis Kupang Tengah masih sangat kurang dalam melakukan pendampingan pastoral konseling bagi orang sakit terminal. Kedua, pendampingan pastoral konseling bagi orang sakit terminal belum dipahami benar sehingga pendeta/gembala tidak melaksanakan tahap-tahap dalam pastoral konseling dan ketiga, orang sakit terminal di Klasis Kupang Tengah – Gereja Masehi Injili di Timor belum mendapat perhatian khusus melalui pendampingan pastoral konseling yang dapat menolong orang sakit terminal mengatasi masalah hidup dan memperteguh iman mereka ketika berada dalam saat-saat menjelang kematian.

Published: July 2021

Acute respiratory infections currently have high morbidity and mortality rates, are the leading cause of the burden of disease and the 3rd leading cause of death in children under 5 years old. The care, management and prevention of acute respiratory infections not only depend on health workers, but also on mother’s knowledge. Mothers have good knowledge about diseases, care plays an important role in disease prevention, early detection and timely delivery of children to health facilities, helping to reduce the infant morbidity and mortality rate. From that fact, the study was conducted to describe the current state of knowledge of mothers with children under 5 years old infected with acute respiratory infections in Thai Binh Hospital for Children in 2020. The research results show that the mother’s general knowledge about diseases, care and prevention of ARI is still limited with the average score of knowledge of the intervention group is 22.0 ± 7.0 and the control group is 22, 5 ± 6.5 (maximum of 44 points). Average points of knowledge about disease, care and prevention, respectively: 12.0 ± 4.3; 4.9 ± 2.1; 5.1 ± 1.8 in the intervention group and 12.4 ± 4.2, 5.0 ± 1.8, 5.0 ± 1.9 in the control group. The proportion of mothers with knowledge of both groups was low: 20.0% in the intervention group and 21.7% in the control group. Therefore, it is very necessary to strengthen health education for mothers of health workers, especially nursing staff.

This paper shows a part of results on the current status and proposed solutions to improve the capacity of human resource in use management of medical devices in public general hospital, under “Research on the current status of use management of medical devices in public general hospitals at all levels”. Data were collected through reports of hospitals, interviewing staffs by questionnaire, group discussions and in-depth interviews with leaders and related staffs in 12 hospitals at all levels. Results show that: (1) All hospitals have established a Department/Unit of Medical Device Management and have at least 01 full-time staff, but the task assignments are overlap; (2) The number and qualifications of human resource are also inadequate, due to the lack of regulations and guidance, as well as the difficulties in recruitment; (3) Knowledge of staff in Department/Unit of Medical Device Management still has many gaps, but they are less likely to participate in continuing training courses and building the capacity. Therefore, in the coming time, it is necessary to have detailed regulations on the organizational structure, functions, tasks, and professional standards for staffs of use management of medical devices in hospitals, and to increase the training and additional knowledge and skills for this target group.
