Title Aroha mai: Nurses, nursing and mental illness Type
Year 2008 Publication Abbreviated Journal University of Auckland Library
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Mental health; Nursing; Culture
Abstract This research takes an autoethnographical approach to exploring the connections between being a nurse, doing nursing work, and experiencing a mental illness. Data is comprised of autoethnographical stories from 18 nurses. Drawing on Lyotard's (1988) postmodern philosophy of 'regimes of phrases' and 'genres of discourse,' the nurses' stories yielded three motifs: Nursing, Tangata Whaiora (people seeking wellness) and Bullying. Interpretation of the motifs was undertaken by identifying and exploring connected or dissenting aspects within and between the motifs.

Title Weaving the contemporary position of maatauranga Maaori within nursing practice Type
Year 2007 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Maori; Culture; Nursing models; Nursing; Health status
Abstract This thesis explores the customary kaupapa of Matauranga Maori or Maori knowledge, which the author identifies as the appropriate technique to determine how health care should be maintained by and for Maori. The research highlights the need to meld these kaupapa with that of a contemporary Maori viewpoint, to focus more on a deeper enhancement of these kaupapa, and develop an understanding of the social, cultural, educational, political and economic contexts these concepts have on Maori as a people. This research identified six Maori registered women nurses, who shared their experiences regarding Matauranga Maori and its importance to their nursing practice. Over a period of one year, in-depth conversations unfolded and produced data on what Matauranga Maori involves and how the six participants in the study believe it influences their nursing practices. All were currently practicing nurses within various health settings such as psychiatric and comprehensive nursing. From the inception of this study, the focus was to introduce Matauranga Maori as the epistemological framework of choice. The author notes that the findings of this research indicate that a collection of key kaupapa, namely whakapapa, whanaungatanga, te reo Maori, wairuatanga, tuurangawaewae, manaakitanga and rangatiratanga are crucial to the health and wellbeing of Maori as a people. These kaupapa enable Maori to determine and strengthen their worldview, which in turn reflects the concept of being Maori thereby contributing to the health and status of their whanau, hapu and iwi. She goes on to say that the findings support the view that there is a substantial collection of kaupapa, which are inherent in Matauranga Maori as being able to provide a framework for theoretical research. These kaupapa will provide a framework for nursing practice and educational curricula that will develop and maintain nursing standards to meet the needs of Maori.

Title Caring for refugees in emergency departments in New Zealand Type Journal Article
Year 2004 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal
Volume 20 Issue 2 Pages 24-35
Keywords Emergency nursing; Culture; Mental health; Health status
Abstract This paper outlines some of the special health needs of people from refugee backgrounds who present in the emergency department, and the role of emergency department nurses in improving care for refugee and migrant peoples. Refugees and asylum seekers represent a significant proportion of attendees in emergency departments in Auckland Hospitals. Culture and ethnicity are a major factor to be considered in addressing the health care needs of this population. Other factors such as the physical and psychological sequelae of the refugee experience, health care experience prior to arrival in New Zealand, poverty, language, and the trauma of resettlement also have a major impact on health care seeking behaviours.

Title Opening our eyes, shifting our thinking: The process of teaching and learning about reflection in cultural safety education and practice: An evaluation study Type Report
Year 2006 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Cultural safety; Nursing; Culture
Abstract The purpose of the research was an evaluation of practice exemplars as a reflective process in teaching and learning about cultural safety. Six Maori, two Pacific and five Pakeha students, ranging in age from 30 to 40, took part in the research. The research findings revealed five sub themes: personal safety, power/ powerlessness, reflection, teaching and learning and cultural safety. The presentation, while acknowledging that cultural safety shared some commonalities with culture care theory, highlighted differences between the two. These included that cultural safety was explicit in identifying the inherent power of the nurse in health care relationships; related to the experience of the recipient of nursing care, and extended beyond cultural awareness and sensitivity; provided consumers of nursing services with the power to comment on practices; and contributed to the achievement of positive outcomes and experiences for them. It outlined the characteristics of a culturally safe nurse as a nurse who had undertaken a process of reflection on her/his own cultural identity and who recognised the impact their personal culture had on client care.

Title Solution focused nursing: An alternative model for assessing psychosis and mai aitu in mental health Type
Year 2006 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Pacific peoples; Mental health; Psychiatric Nursing; Culture
Abstract The objective of this paper is to establish if there is any documented research and literature evidence that describe what the presenting clinical symptoms of Mai Aitu is, and also to explore an alternative frame-work to assess Pacific Islanders who present to mental health in crisis. As a community mental health nurse in the Crisis Assessment and Treatment Team (CATT), the author reports being confronted almost every day with an increasing number of Pacific Islanders presenting in crisis with symptoms consistent with the well documented signs of psychosis. For instance, symptoms like hallucinations, delusion and paranoid ideation which are also well known for describing schizophrenia. Her concern is that mental health nurses may be compromising their practice, the safety of the Pacific Island population and possibly the credibility of the profession with what appears like a lack of knowledge and awareness regarding the clinical symptoms of some Pacific Island mental illness. In Tonga it is called Avea Avanga, in Fiji it is referred to as Lialia, in Samoa it is known as Mai Aitu. The author notes that the issue becomes apparent when Samoan clients present in crisis with what appears to be psychosis but the fanau believe their love one is not mentally unwell, that he or she is simply suffering a traditional Samoan illness. Therefore they insist he or she be treated at home, instead of through admission to the psychiatric hospital, and also that they be seen by a Samoan healer instead of a psychiatrist.
