Always Caring
The choice to age in a familiar home environment within the community without relying on residential services can prolong independence, provided care services are customised to the specific needs of the household. However, this model of care provision frequently conceals the hidden costs for women who are often the spousal carer. The navigation of care needs of a spouse when aged 65 and above often contains challenges linked to accessing quality …
A Quantitative Evaluation of An Integrated Care Approach to Address Capacity Issues at a Community Hospital
Background: Hospitals face significant challenges during winter due to the seasonal influx of patients with illnesses such as influenza and COVID-19, a phenomenon known as the "Winter Surge." East Toronto Health Partners, in their efforts to build an integrated care system across settings, aimed to address this issue by facilitating early discharges and supporting patients' transitions from hospital to home through a collaborative initiative call…
Real World Examples
Background: Health systems globally are striving to be more 'person centred'- delivering care in partnership with patients and families in ways that align with their needs, preferences and values. Also, supporting people to direct and drive their own care (self-management) within enabling environments is a critical component of actioning person-centred care. This meeting joins up two Special Interest Groups: 1) Actioning Person Centred Care and 2…

When approached to write a piece on Donna Awatere’s (1984) book Māori Sovereignty from a social work perspective we seized the opportunity to reconsider her work. Revisiting the text after a 30-year-plus hiatus sparked a series of reflective conversations about how we wrestle with teaching biculturalism and our efficacy in preparing students for bicultural practice realities. This article draws upon our co-constructed narratives about what it mea…
Realising Values
Values are numerous, interrelated and hard to discern in professional practice. This article reports on key findings from research into locating professional values within health social work practice in Aotearoa New Zealand. The research explores how 15 health social workers experience and negotiate value demands when working with newborn infants. A staged methodology underpinned by constructivist grounded theory was utilised to generate theoreti…
Local volunteers respond to the Rena oil spill in Maketū, New Zealand
Following the MV Rena grounding and oil spill in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand in October 2011, the Māori community of Maketū were quick to respond to the arrival of oil on their beaches. They asserted their rangatiratanga by establishing their marae as a base and successfully coordinated a clean‐up by more than 450 volunteers, feeding these volunteers every day. We interviewed 11 clean‐up leaders and volunteers in Maketū to gather information a…
