Cultivating Inclusive Healthcare Ecosystems
Non-Māori with mental health and substance use conditions experience relative privilege evident in health outcomes when compared to Māori (the Indigenous population) in New Zealand. This paper will explore physical healthcare experiences for Māori with a mental health and/or substance use condition. This qualitative study was one component of the Tupuānuku Project investigating the enablers and barriers that effect access to quality physical heal…
Institutional pathways to psychosis for Indigenous Māori
Inequities in the incidence and outcomes of first episode psychosis (FEP) for Indigenous peoples are impacted by multiple institutional systems. This study examines Indigenous experiences of these systems to gain an understanding of how to improve institutional responses to FEP inequity. Critical race theory informed the methods used. Twenty-three participants participated in four focus group interviews, and thirteen individual interviews, includ…
Racism, early psychosis, and institutional contact

AIM: To use Indigenous experiences to develop a more detailed understanding of how racism operates to impact early psychosis outcomes. METHODS: Critical Race Theory informed the methodology used. Twenty-three Indigenous participants participated in four family focus gr…
It’s not in my head
Discrimination based on MHSUC leads to poor quality care. Health systems and clinicians need to focus quality improvement processes on access to and delivery of equitable physical healthcare to people with MHSUC, address stereotypes about people with MHSUC and improve integration of mental and physical healthcare
It's about having that knowledge, tino rangatiratanga!’ Understanding structural barriers to accessing aged residential care services among older Māori in New Zealand
New Zealand's older Indigenous people (Māori) are underserved and underrepresented as consumers of aged residential care services (ARC). This study seeks to ascertain, from the perspectives of older Māori and whānau (family), the influence of structural factors that impact the process of seeking aged residential care. This study used a qualitative Kaupapa Māori research approach. In‐depth interviews were undertaken with older Māori ( n = 30) and …
Exploring elderly Māori experiences of aged residential care using a kaupapa Māori research paradigm
There are differences between research that is performed in an Indigenous setting using Western methodologies and research performed using Indigenous methodologies. Kaupapa Māori research provides opportunities for Māori, the Indigenous people of New Zealand, to participate in and influence research agendas and processes while providing a platform for Māori to contribute to empirical knowledge about Māori peoples. Using the central tenets of whak…
It absolutely needs to move out of that structure’
A commitment to equity when implementing structural change is needed, including ongoing evaluation and refinement. This paper provides specific recommendations that should be considered in health service redesign to ensure the New Zealand mental health system meets the needs of Māori patients with BD and their whānau
Impaired wellness in medicine
Effectively conceptualising impaired wellness for physicians requires review of the roles and responsibilities of teams, health service leadership and the health system as a whole
Ensuring the right to food for indigenous children
The right to food for indigenous children, is linked to political and economic systems that are an outcome of colonisation. A decolonising approach where Māori voices and values are central within NZ policies and policy-making processes is needed. Given the importance of food to health, a broad policy approach from the NZ government to ensure the right to adequate food is urgent. This includes economic policies to end child poverty and specific s…
Indigenous peoples’ experiences and preferences in aged residential care
Although the demand for aged residential care increases, low use of aged residential care by Indigenous people raises questions about unrecognised barriers to health care. The objectives of this systematic literature review are to (a) examine current scientific literature that reports older Indigenous people’s experiences in aged residential care and (b) describe critical factors that shape Indigenous people’s preferences in aged residential care…
Rights-Based Approaches to Improving Food Availability for Tamariki Māori
Food availability refers to the adequacy of the supply of healthy food. It is a key concern for the wellbeing of tamariki Māori today. A narrative literature review methodology was applied to examine the literature and identify influences that enable the availability of healthy food for tamariki. Findings were synthesised and analysed using the Oranga Mokopuna framework—a rights-based approach grounded in tikanga Māori. Factors enabling healthy f…
The Transformative Potential of Kaupapa Māori Research and Indigenous Methodologies
This article presents a description of a specific Indigenous research methodology, Kaupapa Māori Research (KMR), followed by a discussion of the potential contribution that KMR and other Indigenous frameworks make toward understanding and addressing widespread mental health inequities affecting the world's Indigenous peoples. The contribution of existing qualitative KMR to the fields of health and mental health in New Zealand is discussed, and in…
Consolidated criteria for strengthening reporting of health research involving indigenous peoples
BACKGROUND: Research reporting guidelines are increasingly commonplace and shown to improve the quality of published health research and health outcomes. Despite severe health inequities among Indigenous Peoples and the potential for research to address the causes, there is an extended legacy of health research exploiting Indigenous Peoples. This paper describes the development of the CONSolIDated critERtia for strengthening the reporting of heal…
Working With Racism
The nursing profession in New Zealand and other countries of indigenous peoples needs to acknowledge the presence of racism within training and clinical environments as well as supporting indigenous registered nurses to develop and implement indigenous dual cultural-clinical competencies
