Weaving Maatauranga
The significant burden of type 2 diabetes (T2D) for Maaori populations highlights the crucial need for culturally responsive health education. This study used Kaupapa Maaori participatory action research methodology in collaboration with a semi-rural Waikato community to develop tailored T2D educational resources. The process included initial consultation, thematic analysis, resource development, community feedback, and final refinement. Eleven p…
Needed But Not Alone
Māori and Pacific researchers are working hard to transform our research system to enable Māori and Pacific postgraduate students to thrive in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Yet barriers remain, and each new postgraduate generation inherits evolving challenges and opportunities to navigate. This paper is written for Māori and Pacific people who are about to enter the postgraduate STEM space, recognising that we need our …
Equity, power and resources in primary health care reform
It concludes that exploring power and resource shifts sheds light on power dynamics within a reform. Since power shapes how resources are deployed, attention to power and resource complements technical elements of health system reform, by helping to understand where and how to intervene so that reforms achieve their desired goals
Indigenous perspectives on breaking bad news
Most healthcare providers (HCPs) work from ethical principles based on a Western model of practice that may not adhere to the cultural values intrinsic to Indigenous peoples. Breaking bad news (BBN) is an important topic of ethical concern in health research. While much has been documented on BBN globally, the ethical implications of receiving bad news, from an Indigenous patient perspective in particular, is an area that requires further inquiry…
Hā Ora
Co-designed research is gaining prominence within the health care space. Community engagement is a key premise of co-design and is also particularly vital when carrying out kaupapa Māori research. Kaupapa Māori describes a “by Māori, for Māori” approach to research in Aotearoa/New Zealand. This article discusses the research process of Hā Ora: a co-design project underpinned by a kaupapa Māori approach. The objective was to explore the barriers t…
The experiences of refugee Muslim women in the Aotearoa New Zealand healthcare system
This study explores the experiences of refugee Muslim women as they accessed and navigated the healthcare system in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ). A case‐oriented approach was used, where semi‐structured interviews were carried out with nine Muslim women who arrived in NZ as refugees. Interviews were carried out in 2020, in Hamilton, NZ. Analysis involved a ‘text in context’ approach which employed an iterative and interpretive process, by engaging w…
Seeing the unseen
Māori in Aotearoa have higher incidence, prevalence and mortality from chronic disease. The dominant narrative in Aotearoa about the reasons for Māori ill health neglects to acknowledge the history of colonisation and failures of the health system, alongside the holistic view of health taken by Māori focusing on collective, whānau-based outcomes. In this article, we review health interventions for chronic disease that have a kaupapa Māori philoso…
