Title Meihana model: A clinical assessment framework Type Journal Article
Year 2007 Publication New Zealand Journal of Psychology Abbreviated Journal
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 Cultural safety and nursing education in Aotearoa and Te Waipounamu Type
Year 2002 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Cultural safety; Maori; Nursing; Education
Abstract The research on which this thesis is based involves both a private narrative and a public narrative, with the story of cultural safety, and the history, theory and the future direction gathered into one qualitative work. The work is divided into three sections. The first is entitled, Ko Wai Matou? The Private Narrative. This section seeks to explore the historical, social, educational, physical, emotional, political and moral influences and ephiphanies which brought about the personality which introduced cultural safety ideas into nursing and midwifery. Early nursing practice is investigated and examples from practice are used to illustrate learning and consolidation of the ideas which led to Cultural Safety Theory. The second section is entitled He Huarahi Hou: A New Pathway. This section explains the progress of the theory and its relationship to education pedagogy and to nursing practice. Comparison between the work of Madeline Leininger and the Transcultural Theory of Nursing and the New Zealand concept of cultural safety is undertaken. The role and application of the Treaty of Waitangi to the theory of cultural safety is explored in this section. The third section, entitled He Whakawhanuitanga: The Public Narrative, looks at the introduction of cultural safety into the nursing education system and its implementation. The public and media reaction to the inclusion of cultural safety in the national examination for nursing registration and the subsequent parliamentary response are noted. The interviews with nursing and midwifery leadership, Maori and pakeha key players in the process and consumer views of the ideas are documented and pertinent excerpts have been included. The work concludes with a discussion on the likely future of cultural safety as a theory and in practice and outlines several issues which represent a challenge to the viability of the concept in nursing and midwifery education. The author notes that the story of cultural safety is a personal story, but also a very public one. It is set in neo-colonial New Zealand, but has implications for indigenous people throughout the world. It is about human samenesses and human differences, but is also a story about all interactions between nurses and patients because all are power laden. Finally, she points out that, although it is about nursing, it is also relevant to all encounters, all exchanges between health care workers and patients.

Title An exploration of the experiences of Maori nurses in Aotearoa/New Zealand Type
Year 2004 Publication Abbreviated Journal Otago Polytechnic library. A copy can be obtained by contacting pgnursadmin@tekotago.ac.nz
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Maori; Nursing; Cultural safety; History
Abstract The author describes the purpose of her writing as exploring the journeys that Maori have experienced within the nursing profession of Aotearoa/New Zealand. It presents the reader with insight into these journeys by examining a broad range of events and experiences from pre European contact up to contemporary times. The intention of providing these insights is for the reader to be made aware of not only the “uniqueness” that Maori nurses bring to the profession in New Zealand but to give voice to the many untold experiences of Maori nurses. The Nursing Council of New Zealand (NCNZ), numerous Maori and non- Maori academics have long acknowledged the uniqueness of Maori health perspectives and needs. However, the author notes there is limited literature which specifically discusses experiences of Maori consumers of health services and until recently, exploration of the experiences of Maori nurses has been limited. The Ministerial Taskforce of Nursing (1998) identified the paucity of research related to Maori nursing and acknowledges the need for Maori nurses to develop a body of knowledge specifically focused in this area. To this end, the author intended that this work would contribute to the increasing body of knowledge regarding this unique group within the nursing profession of Aotearoa/New Zealand.The discussion includes revisiting the history of nursing in Aotearoa/New Zealand and critiquing the participation of Maori nurses. The experiences of Maori nurses and students from within the education sector is detailed with a particular focus on their experiences of Kawa Whakaruruhau / Cultural safety. Contemporary issues for Maori nurses are critiqued and possible solutions offered along with details of the writer's vision for the future direction of Maori within the wider nursing profession in Aotearoa/New Zealand.

Title The evolving meaning of 'culture' in New Zealand nursing Type Journal Article
Year 2001 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal
Volume 17 Issue 3 Pages 51-61
Keywords Cultural safety; Biculturalism; History of nursing; Maori
Abstract The author traces the nursing definition of biculturalism as it has evolved from the colonial period to the present. An examination of nursing literature demonstrates that local understandings of culture have matured beyond anthropological interpretations to a sociopolitical definition of Maori culture. The author suggests that, in nursing, culture has come to mean cultural safety.

Title Career pathways and core competencies in Maori mental health nursing Type Report
Year 2003 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Trm/03/04 Issue Pages
Keywords Maori; Mental health; Nursing; Careers in nursing; psychiatric nursing
Abstract This report reviews relevant literature pertaining to clinical career pathways and associated core competencies for nursing in New Zealand. The review identifies and analyses existing clinical career pathways for nurses and mental health workers in New Zealand, paying particular attention to the content, structure, strengths, criticisms and applicability to the development of a clinical career pathway for Maori registered nurses to work in Maori mental health (NGO organisations). This report is part of Te Rau Matatini's current work on the development of a career pathway for Maori registered nurses with mental health work experience to work in NGO, community settings. It is a preliminary report, based on existing literature. A subsequent report was planned detailing the career pathway developed by Te Rau Matatini, with strong guidance and input from Maori mental health nurses and the wider Maori mental health sector.

Title Huarahi whakatu: Maori mental health nursing career pathway Type Report
Year 2004 Publication Abbreviated Journal
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.

Title Relearning how to learn: Enrolled nurse transition to degree at a New Zealand rural satellite campus Type Journal Article
Year 2005 Publication Nurse Education Today Abbreviated Journal
Volume 25 Issue 7 Pages 519-526
Keywords Registered nurses; Enrolled nurses; Education; Maori; Scope of practice; Careers in nursing; Rural nursing
Abstract This paper reports a study that examined the factors that assisted or hindered the transition of a group of enrolled nurses to registration/degree programmes, via a flexible course developed by a North Island tertiary institution. The study follows ten enrolled nurses, primarily Maori and working in rural settings, as they continued to work while studying at a small satellite campus. The study was exploratory and descriptive, and utilised focus group interviews. Two major categories emerged from comparative analysis of the data. One category entitled 'relearning how to learn', demonstrated the cognitive and behavioural adaptations made and is the focus of this paper. The other category 'barriers and catapults', demonstrated the physical and environmental factors that influenced the students' transition but is outside the scope of this paper. Recent changes in New Zealand nursing education have witnessed the clarification of scopes of nursing practice and the controversial development of a new Certificate in Health Science (Nurse Assistant). Currently enrolled nurses are again facing threats to employment and it is envisaged that many will be seeking to undertake transition to registered nurse in the near future.

Title Exploration of the self: The journey of one pakeha cultural safety nurse educator Type
Year 2003 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Cultural safety; Teaching methods; Nursing; Education; Professional development; Transcultural nursing; Maori; Identity
Abstract Cultural safety is taught in all undergraduate nursing programmes in Aotearoa/New Zealand. There is a predominance of Pakeha nurse educators in teaching this content. There is little explanation of what being Pakeha entails. This perpetuates a silence and continues the dominant hegemonic position of Pakeha in Aotearoa/New Zealand. This study suggests that as Pakeha cultural safety nurse educators we examine our dominance and critique the delivery of cultural safety education. This autobiographical study undertakes to explore the Pakeha identity of a cultural safety nurse educator. The author discusses identity in the context of a globalised world, and challenges the idea of a definitive Pakeha identity. There are multiple descriptions of Pakeha, all underdeveloped and inadequate for the purposes of cultural safety education. In this study, the author uses the heuristic process of Moustakas (1990) and Maalouf's (2000) ideas of vertical and horizontal heritage to locate and present the essence of the self. In keeping with the purpose of cultural safety education, the author considers her ethnic cultural self as described by Bloch (1983) and explores Helms' (1990) theory of White racial identity development. This thesis describes the position of one Pakeha in the context of teaching cultural safety in an undergraduate nursing degree programme in Aotearoa/New Zealand. For Pakeha cultural safety nurse educators the author argues that exploration of one's heritages and location of a personal Pakeha identity is pivotal to progressing the enactment of cultural safety in Aotearoa /New Zealand.

Title Teaching cultural safety in a New Zealand nursing education program Type Journal Article
Year 2005 Publication Journal of Nursing Education Abbreviated Journal
Volume 44 Issue 5 Pages 201-208
Keywords Cultural safety; Nursing; Education; Teaching methods; Feminist critique; Treaty of Waitangi; Maori
Abstract This article describes the findings of a research study on the experience of teaching cultural safety. As a teacher of cultural safety, the first author was interested in exploring the experience of teaching the topic with other cultural safety teachers. A qualitative approach situated in a critical theory paradigm was used for the study. The study was informed by the ideas of Foucault and feminist theory. Fourteen women between ages 20 and 60 were interviewed about their experience of teaching cultural safety. Five women were Maori and 9 were Pakeha. Following data analysis, three major themes were identified: that the Treaty of Waitangi provides for an examination of power in cultural safety education; that the broad concept of difference influences the experience of teaching cultural safety; and that the experience of teaching cultural safety has personal, professional, and political dimensions. These dimensions were experienced differently by Maori and Pakeha teachers.

Title An exploration of the experiences of cultural safety educators in New Zealand: An action research approach Type Journal Article
Year 2003 Publication Journal of Transcultural Nursing Abbreviated Journal
Volume 14 Issue 4 Pages 339-348
Keywords Cultural safety; Nursing; Education; Teaching methods; Organisational culture; Maori
Abstract This research is a study of the experiences of four cultural safety educators in nursing education in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Action research methods assisted the participants to implement change in their practice and gain positive personal involvement in the study. Reflective diaries provided the major tool in this process as participants were able to achieve at least one action research cycle by identifying issues, planning action, observing the action, and reflecting. The findings of the research revealed that the participants not only coped with everyday stressors of teaching but were also required to formulate knowledge for cultural safety. For the Maori participants, their stress was confounded with recruiting and retaining Maori students and macro issues such as commitment to their iwi (tribe). Lack of support to teach cultural safety was identified to be a key theme for all participants. An analysis of this theme revealed that many issues were organisational in nature and out of their control. Action research provided a change strategy for participants to have a sense of control of issues within their practice. Recommendations include the following: support for cultural safety educators to have a dialogue on a regular basis, the introduction of nurse educator programmes, paid leave provisions for educators to conduct and publish research so that a body of knowledge can be developed, and that Maori cultural safety educators be recognised for their professional and cultural strengths so that they do not fall victim to burnout.
