WORKSHOP 86 Dealing with different cultures S. Hanrahan The University of Queensland Whether we are doctors, physios, nutritionists, psychologists, podiatrists, exercise scientists, or health promoters, we are or will be working with people from a variety of cultural backgrounds. Interventions can be less than optimal and research can be culturally insensitive if we are colour or culture blind and assume that all people are alike regardless of colour or culture. Being a culturally sensitive practitioner or researcher means being aware of the culture(s) of your clients or participants as well as your own cultural values, stereotypes, and biases. In Australia many members of the dominant culture are accustomed to thinking as people in an individualistic culture and may struggle when working with people from collectivist cultures. Norms, values, beliefs, and behaviours are all heavily influenced by culture. We have all been enculturated (i.e., have gone through the process of learning to live within a particular culture). Some of us have also engaged in the process of acculturation, adopting the culture of another group to varying degrees. Because of the variance in the adoption of culture, we cannot generalize or group people by culture. Nevertheless, awareness of cultural differences in interpersonal space, time, eye contact, communication, and sense of self can enhance our interactions with individuals in our multicultural society. Examples of culturally specific considerations as they relate to sport will be discussed, and attendees will be challenged to consider how culture might affect their interactions with clients or participants. Cultural (in)sensitivity can influence clarification of presenting issues/complaints and client/patient compliance. doi:10.1016/j.jsams.2009.10.087
annual update for their daily work and is designed to fulfil the requirements for their professional education. So it will be a multidisciplinary team workshop. In March 2006, the Australian Resuscitation Council released their updated guidelines for Basic and Advanced Life Support for Adults, Children and Neonates.Key principles of the new Australian guidelines are: • • • • • •
Any resuscitation attempt is better than none. You should minimise any interruptions to compressions. Compressions should be delivered harder and faster. Avoid over ventilation. Rescuers should compress the centre of the chest. 30:2 ratio (30 compressions to 2 ventilations) for infants, children and adults. • Emphasis on early defibrillation. doi:10.1016/j.jsams.2009.10.088 WORKSHOP 88 The appropriate use of analgesia—guidelines for clinicians S.

& Sports Medicine, School of Medicine & Dentistry, James Cook University, Queensland 2 Vice President, Sports Doctors Australia The aim of this workshop is to outline the recommended evidence based management approaches for both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. The workshop will involve guides and recommendations for management which may be implemented by both medically and non medically trained health professionals in their daily practice. doi:10.1016/j.jsams.2009.10.089

This Workshop is designed to provide a CPR update with a Sports Medicine flavour. It provides an ideal opportunity for Sports Medicine Clinicians to up skill in a credentialed emergency resuscitation hands on session. It is primarily provided for Doctors, Physiotherapists and Podiatrists who require an
Introduction: Motor performance tasks are used to clinically assess sports-related concussion (SRC), however, there is limited understanding of how exercise/exertion affects these measures. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of graded exercise on three selected measures of motor performance used in the assessment of SRC.
