Spatial equity of physiotherapy accessibility in Aotearoa New Zealand in relation to Māori and Pacific ethnicity, socioeconomic deprivation, and rurality
Belonging in urban park and playgrounds
Discrimination in public parks negatively impacts the wellbeing of disabled children and their families, despite their legal right to play. • Access to play is closely tied to wellbeing elements such as cultural identity, inclusive design, equity, and self-determination, as framed by the Te Pae Māhutonga model. • Physical and social barriers persist, requiring disabled children and their families to exert extra effort to access play spaces, affec…
Māori Health, Wellbeing, and Disability in Aotearoa New Zealand
Māori, the Indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand, experience wide-ranging inequities compared with non-Māori. This survey aimed to explore the holistic health, wellbeing, and disability experiences of New Zealand's Indigenous Māori population from a Māori worldview, addressing gaps in culturally relevant data often overlooked by standard health surveys. A robust cross-sectional survey was conducted with 7359 participants of Māori descent usin…
Health System Factors Affecting the Experience of Non-Invasive Ventilation Provision of People with Neuromuscular Disorders in New Zealand
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a critical therapy for many patients with neuromuscular disorders (NMD), supporting those with respiratory failure to achieve adequate respiration and improve their quality of life. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of access to, consent, uptake, maintenance and safe use of non-invasive ventilation by people with NMD. Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with 11 people with NMD,…
Measuring Māori Health, Wellbeing, and Disability in Aotearoa Using a Web-Based Survey Methodology
High-quality evidence on the prevalence and impact of health, wellbeing, and disability among Māori, and other Indigenous peoples, is crucial for mitigating health inequities. Current surveys are predominantly centred within a biomedical paradigm, with the constructs mismatched with Indigenous worldviews. We aimed to develop and deploy an accessible and culturally grounded survey exploring Māori health, wellbeing, and disability using a Kaupapa M…
Disabled People or Their Support Persons’ Perceptions of a Community Based Multi-Sensory Environment (MSE)
Multi-sensory environments (MSEs) are specialised spaces purposely designed to stimulate the senses, whilst providing a calming and relaxing environment for leisure and enjoyment, predominantly intended for disabled people. Most MSEs are in institutions, hospitals, or educational settings, with a few in community-based settings. We explored disabled users' experiences of a community based MSE in a large metropolitan area in New Zealand, with a vi…
Karanga rua, karanga maha
For Indigenous Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand, the impact of disability can be pervasive yet often invisible due to considerable gaps in the accuracy and interpretations of disability data and information for Māori. We present findings from a kaupapa Māori qualitative study that centres perspectives of Māori with lived experience of disability, exploring how they define and negotiate their identities within the context of health and wellbeing. Our…
The Multidimensional Impacts of Inequities for Tāngata Whaikaha Māori (Indigenous Māori with Lived Experience of Disability) in Aotearoa, New Zealand
People with lived experience of disability have poorer health and socioeconomic outcomes than people without it. However, within this population, certain social groups are more likely to experience poorer outcomes due to the impacts of multiple intersecting forms of oppression including colonisation, coloniality and racism. This paper describes the multidimensional impacts of inequities for Indigenous tāngata whaikaha Māori (Māori with lived expe…
Enticing” but Not Necessarily a “Space Designed for Me”
Urban parks are spaces that can enhance older adults' physical, social and psychological wellbeing. As the prevalence of older adults with disability increases, it is important that urban parks are accessible to this population so that they too might gain health benefits. There is limited literature investigating the experiences of urban parks by older adults with disability. This qualitative study, set in a region of New Zealand, explored the ex…
The social networks of New Zealand patients with multimorbidity and the work of those nominated as their ‘significant supporters’
Social networks are informal relationships often with social ties and voluntary or mandatory obligations that can positively support a patient with multimorbidity. This exploratory study sought insights into the social networks of New Zealand people with multimorbidity and also the work of those nominated as providing significant support. Ten participants were recruited from general practice as part of an education programme in which health profe…
