Area of Science:

Gerontology
Sociology
Organizational Psychology

Background:

Aged care settings increasingly serve diverse populations.
Workforce multiculturalism presents unique communication and integration challenges.
Existing policies may not adequately support cohesive multicultural aged care environments.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore cultural influences on relationships within aged care.
To assess the residential aged care sector's support for a multicultural workforce.
To identify barriers and facilitators for a cohesive multicultural aged care workforce.

Main Methods:

Exploratory methodology utilizing semi-structured questionnaires.
Data collected from 58 participants (direct care staff, managers, family members).
Study conducted across six residential care facilities in Perth, Western Australia.

Main Results:

Communication issues (interpersonal, cultural norms, language policies) emerged as a key theme.
60% of Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CaLD) participants experienced negative resident reactions due to cultural differences.
CaLD participants reported prejudicial treatment from non-CaLD staff, employing coping strategies like resilience and avoidance.

Conclusions:

Organizations must implement explicit processes to address cross-cultural communication barriers.
Internalized beliefs, education, experience, and workplace culture significantly influence communication.
Developing a cohesive multicultural workplace requires addressing individual and systemic factors impacting staff.
