Implementing HPV self-collection
Indigenous peoples in high-income settler-colonial countries experience disproportionately high cervical cancer incidence and mortality compared to non-Indigenous populations, reflecting systemic inequities and barriers to culturally safe care. HPV self-collection offers a potential solution to overcoming inequities by enabling women and people with a cervix to collect their own sample, improving autonomy, privacy, and access, and supporting cult…

Intergenerational resiliencies of young Māori sole mothers
Young Māori (Indigenous peoples of New Zealand) mothers navigating sole parenthood in Aotearoa New Zealand face inequitable access to and quality of mental health and wellness care. This article explores service inequities for Māori communities with data drawn from interviews with young Māori mother sole parents ( n = 5); as well as interviews with whānau (family) members ( n = 6), conducted in the second year of a kaupapa Māori (Māori philosophy…
Culturally Safe Neonatal Care
The burden of health inequities borne by Indigenous peoples can be overwhelming, especially when mothers and newborns' lives are at stake and health services seem slow to invest in responsiveness. In Aotearoa (New Zealand), urgent action is required to eliminate persistent systemic inequities for Māori (Indigenous) whānau (family collectives that extend beyond the household). This Kaupapa Māori (by Māori, for Māori) qualitative study aimed to exp…
Lived Reality of Retinopathy of Prematurity Eye Examinations
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is an eye condition that predominately affects preterm infants born less than 30+6 weeks gestational age and/or with a birthweight less than 1250 g. If left untreated ROP can result in permanent blindness, and early detection with regular eye examinations and appropriate treatment can prevent this outcome. The necessary eye tests can be invasive for the infant and leave whānau (extended family) feeling distressed …
He Tamariki Kokoti Tau
Māori (Indigenous peoples of Aotearoa New Zealand) bear an unequal burden of poor perinatal health outcomes, including preterm birth. An infant arriving preterm disrupts the birth imaginary of whānau (family collectives) and situates them in a foreign health environment that may not be culturally safe and nurturing. A cross-sectional interpretative phenomenological analysis of first interviews with 19 whānau participating in a Kaupapa Māori (by, …
E Hine
E Hine was a longitudinal qualitative Kaupapa Māori (by Māori, for Māori) research study involving 44 young Māori women who were first interviewed in 2012‐2013 and followed through their pregnancies and until their babies were 2 years old. The present analysis of the E Hine database examines the young women's experiences of accessing welfare benefits through Work and Income. Welfare benefits were not the central focus of the E Hine study, but oft…

A qualitative inquiry into women’s experiences of severe maternal morbidity
Severe acute maternal morbidity (SMM) is a near‐death experience during pregnancy, childbirth or termination of a pregnancy. Nine women recruited from hospital intensive care or high dependency units following the birth of their baby participated in two qualitative interviews about their SMM experience. The interpretative phenomenological analysis led to the identification of three superordinate themes related to participants: moving from a state…
Lived Realities
This paper explores the birthing experiences of 16 pregnant Māori women under 20 years of age who were involved in E Hine, a Kaupapa Māori (by Māori, for Māori) longitudinal qualitative research study of young Māori women's journeys through pregnancy and into motherhood that ran from 2010 to 2013. This study provided these young women with an opportunity to share their birthing experiences during kanohi-ki-te-kanohi (face-to-face) interviews. Int…
E Hine
Despite improved access to health services in Aotearoa New Zealand there remains a significant socio-economic and health gap between Māori (Indigenous New Zealanders) and Pākehā (non-Māori). E Hine (Girl) is a qualitative Kaupapa Māori (by Māori, for Māori) research project seeking to identify barriers and facilitators to positive health outcomes for young Māori mothers (under 20 years) and their infants. We present the findings of a discourse an…
Access to Secondary Mental Health Services in a Cohort of New Zealand Mothers
Developing a Kaupapa Māori Research Project to Help Reduce Health Disparities Experienced by Young Māori Women and Their Babies
Young Māori mothers experience stigma and their babies experience poor health outcomes. Interventions to reduce these health disparities need to understand the lives of these young women. This paper describes consultation to seek agreement for research with young Māori mothers to be conducted in two regions. Consultation occurred with tribal authorities, Māori health providers, district health boards, and community stakeholders. Endorsement was g…
Falls Assessment Clinical Trial (Fact)
The two recruitment strategies and the community based intervention delivery were feasible and successful, identifying a high risk group with multiple falls. Recruitment in the waiting room gave higher response rates but was less efficient than practice mail-out. Testing the effectiveness of an evidence based intervention in a 'real life' setting is important
