Title Weaving the contemporary position of maatauranga Maaori within nursing practice Type
Year 2007 Publication Abbreviated Journal (up)
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 Experiences of Maori families accessing health care for their unwell children: A pilot study Type Journal Article
Year 2006 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal (up)
Volume 22 Issue 1 Pages 23-32
Keywords Maori; Qualiltative research; Access; Children; Parents and caregivers
Abstract The aim of this study was to explore with a small number of Maori families their experiences of accessing health care when their children were unwell with a respiratory condition. A qualitative research methodology was used in the study. Participating families were among those experiencing an admission to a children's ward between July and December 2003. Four families were interviewed. They discussed in depth their experience of accessing health care for their unwell children. Data were analysed using thematic analysis, and three common themes were evident: family resources, choice of health service provider and parents' feelings of vulnerability. The findings highlight that while socio-economic status plays a large part in determining the ease with which families can access the needed health care, there are other barriers within the health system which also pose difficulties for Maori.

The process and findings of a research project to 'map out' the food environment within the Southern Lakes District are reported. Purposive sampling was used to survey 124 food outlets in the area, and findings confirmed the existence of an obesogenic environment for Maori. Such an environment is characterised by an abundance of cheap, energy dense foods, and pricing gradients that favour consumption of such foods.

Title Nursing people from cultures other than one's own: A perspective from New Zealand Type Journal Article
Year 2003 Publication Contemporary Nurse Abbreviated Journal (up)
Volume 15 Issue 3 Pages 222-231
Keywords Transcultural nursing; Maori; Psychiatric Nursing
Abstract This paper provides an overview of the evolving meaning of 'culture' in New Zealand nursing. Then, drawing upon the findings of research that used hermeneutic phenomenology to explore the experience of nursing people from cultures other than one's own, a description of the constituent parts is of this phenomenon is briefly outlined and followed by an exemplar that describes the coalescent and contradictory nature of the phenomenon as a whole. As New Zealand nurses negotiate the conflicts essential for ongoing development of their practice, interplay of the notions of prejudice, paradox and possibility is evident at intrapersonal and interpersonal levels as well as in relation to professional and other discourses.

Title Nursing their way not our way: Working with vulnerable and marginalised populations Type Journal Article
Year 2008 Publication Contemporary Nurse Abbreviated Journal (up)
Volume 27 Issue 2 Pages 165-176
Keywords Maori; Geriatric nursing; Nurse-patient relations
Abstract This paper uses the findings of two studies to explore the nature of nurses' practice when working with vulnerable and marginalised populations, particularly with regard to the attributes of holism and individualised care. The first study was with the elderly with delirium and used a critical gerontological methodology informed by postmodernism and Foucault's understanding of discourse. The other study with indigenous Maori women utilised Glaserian grounded theory informed by a Maori-centred methodology. The findings show that a problem focussed approach to health care is offered to patients that does not incorporate individual health experiences. In addition, the social context integral to people's lives outside of the health care environment is ignored. Consequently, the foundations of nursing practice, that of holism, is found to be merely a rhetorical construct.

Title Wellness for all: The possibilities of cultural safety and cultural competence in New Zealand Type Journal Article
Year 2008 Publication Journal of Research in Nursing Abbreviated Journal (up)
Volume 13 Issue 2 Pages 125-135
Keywords Cultural safety; Nursing models; Cross-cultural comparison; Maori
Abstract The author contends that responses to cultural diversity in nursing need to consider the theory and practice developments of the profession, whilst also responding to broader social and historical process that prevent marginalised groups from utilising universal health services. A combination of approaches is suggested in this paper to meet these two imperatives. Cultural safety is one indigenous New Zealand nursing approach derived in response to inequalities for Maori, whereas cultural competence is an imported paradigm derived from a multicultural context. Furthermore, research and dialogue are required to examine points of complementarity and tension. This paper offers a beginning for this process.

Title Meihana model: A clinical assessment framework Type Journal Article
Year 2007 Publication New Zealand Journal of Psychology Abbreviated Journal (up)
Volume 36 Issue 3 Pages 118-125
Keywords Nursing models; Clinical assessment; Maori; Mental health
Abstract In 1984 Mason Durie documented a framework for understanding Maori health, Te Whare Tapa Wha, which has subsequently become embedded in Maori health policy. This article presents a specific assessment framework, the Meihana Model, which encompasses the four original cornerstones of Te Whare Tapa Wha, and inserts two additional elements. These form a practice model (alongside Maori beliefs, values and experiences) to guide clinical assessment and intervention with Maori clients and whanau accessing mental health services. This paper outlines the rationale for and background of the Meihana Model and then describes each dimension: whanau, wairua, tinana, hinengaro, taiao and iwi katoa. The model provides a basis for a more comprehensive assessment of clients/whanau to underpin appropriate treatment decisions.

Title Huarahi whakatu: Maori mental health nursing career pathway Type Report
Year 2004 Publication Abbreviated Journal (up)
Volume (Trm/04/15) Issue Pages
Keywords Professional development; Careers in nursing; Maori; Psychiatric nursing; Mental Health
Abstract Huarahi whakatu describes a pathway for recognising the expertise of nurses working in kaupapa Maori mental health services and recommends a professional development programme that can lead to advancement along the pathway. An emphasis on dual competencies – cultural and clinical – underlies the rationale for regarding kaupapa Maori mental health nursing as a sub-specialty. Eight levels of cultural competencies and twelve levels of clinical competencies are used to differentiate career stages and it is recommended that movement from one level to another should be matched by increased remuneration. The report also contains a recommended professional development programme to support the operationalisation of the career pathway.
