The crowded consulting room
Although shame is recognised as a powerful force in clinical settings, it may be understood as an individual emotion and an episodic experience. Drawing on life course theory and narrative analysis, this paper examines how shame creates a barrier to engaging with health care. We analysed 32 stories submitted by older people to an anonymous online story-sharing platform in Aotearoa New Zealand, in which participants described times they felt too e…
Toward Te Tiriti Consciousness in Health Education
This article contributes to the emerging scholarship on Te Tiriti o Waitangi-led education by theorising the early formation of Te Tiriti consciousness - a contextually specific form of critical consciousness grounded in tino rangatiratanga (Māori authority and self-determination) in Aotearoa New Zealand. Drawing on reflexive thematic analysis of 106 written reflections from first-year public health students, the study explores how learners engag…
Ka kata ngā pūriri
This article explores a whānau-led pepeha (recitation of ancestral affiliations) wānanga (knowledge sharing forum) held in the rohe (region) of Ngā Hapū o Te Ahuahu in Te Tai Tokerau, Aotearoa New Zealand (Aotearoa). Grounded in a kaupapa Māori paradigm, the wānanga created a culturally safe and relational space for whānau (extended family) to (re)connect with their ancestral whenua (land) and with each other through experiential learning, storyt…
“They think they know me without listening”
Despite universal healthcare provision, Māori-the Indigenous peoples of Aotearoa New Zealand-continue to experience persistent inequities across all major health indicators. While these disparities are well documented, fewer studies centre Māori voices in describing how inequity is lived and felt within everyday healthcare encounters. This study draws on stories from Māori contributors (n = 114) shared through Wāhi Kōrero, a national online story…
Enhancing maternal sleep health in Aotearoa New Zealand
Maternal sleep health is crucial for maternal wellbeing, particularly maternal mental health which has implications for the wellbeing of children, families and whānau. In Aotearoa New Zealand, the Well Child Tamariki Ora (WCTO) service provides a unique opportunity to support mothers, their families, and whānau by providing education on sleep health for both mothers and children. However, there is a need for a deeper understanding of mothers' exp…
Wāhi Kōrero
Storytelling has the power to forge connections and foster empathy, providing insights into shared human experiences. In the digital age, online platforms offer opportunities to amplify historically underrepresented voices. This article introduces Wāhi Kōrero, a bespoke online story-sharing platform designed to collect stories from people whose experiences are often absent from health research. Wāhi Kōrero was developed through a collaborative ap…
Missed Opportunities for Addressing Maternal Mental Health
Maternal mental health plays a vital role in the overall wellbeing of mothers, children, families, whānau (core support network) and communities. However, many mothers face mental health challenges during the transition to parenthood. In this study, we used an online story‐sharing platform to collect the experiences of mothers who have faced unmet needs while using the Well Child Tamariki Ora (WCTO) service in Aotearoa New Zealand. From the 420 s…
Understanding how whānau-centred initiatives can improve Māori health in Aotearoa New Zealand
This article highlights the significance of prioritizing Indigenous voices and knowledge systems, using whānau-centred initiatives (a concept that encompasses the broader family and community) as a foundation for health promotion within an Indigenous context. Tū Kahikatea, a conceptual framework, is used to demonstrate the relationship between the values underpinning different whānau-centred initiatives and their corresponding outcomes. The frame…
Developing a Kaupapa Whānau Framework to Explore Social, Cultural and Health Benefits of a Whānau-Inspired Initiative
Placing whānau at the centre of research design and delivery empowers whānau to take ownership of their own narrative while leveraging and extending their existing resources and knowledge systems. This article outlines the development of a kaupapa whānau research framework developed by whānau involved in a whānau-inspired initiative at their marae. Conducted in accordance with whānau principles, the research was guided by a tikanga approach to en…
Securing cultural identity for whānau well-being
Colonial processes have severely disrupted Māori social organisation and attachment to place through land alienation and different experiences of urban migration. As a result, many whānau (extended family) have lost connection to their whenua (land) and ancestral marae (communal and sacred meeting ground) causing intergenerational loss of knowledge and values that secure cultural identity and belonging. Finding accessible pathways to restore frag…
Rangatahi Tū Rangatira
Rangatahi Tū Rangatira (R2R) is a national health promotion programme in Aotearoa New Zealand which aims to promote cultural and physical wellbeing for rangatahi (young people) and their whānau (family). Grounded in tikanga Māori, the programme focuses on total wellbeing, leadership and cultural awareness providing rangatahi opportunities to increase their participation in physical activity and cultural knowledge through ngā taonga tākaro (Māori …
