Title Hei watea taupuhipuhi: The space of symbiosis: A conceptual framework for nursing practice Type
Year 2000 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Maori; Teaching methods; Nursing; Transcultural nursing
Abstract Te watea taupuhipuhi, the space of symbiosis is a framework for nursing practice. It examines the notion of the nursing presence as holding continuity and multiplicity of viewpoint in space of symbiosis. The author developed a teaching-learning situation as an introduction of key ideas in his work where the Maori word “ako” becomes the catalyst of a particular pedagogy that outlines the central notions of symbiosis. Thus, he notes, his work realises that symbiosis occurs not only on the clinical arena of nursing but in the teaching – learning environment as well, his own space of symbiosis. Four rites of passage coalesce a totality of experience within the space of symbiosis, revealing that the central role of the nursing presence is to surface meaning and sense for all of experience which can be fearful, mysterious, paradoxical and chaotic. These four rites of passage are described as the interpretive, integrative, transformations and transcendent. The twelve dynamics of nursing from the axle around which a praxis of nursing revolves. An analysis of those twelve dynamics in rite of passage is situated within narratives taken from the author's nursing practice. He also draws extensively from Maori ontology and autobiography in positioning his exposition within this local context.

Title Transforming possibilities of care: Goan migrant motherhood in New Zealand Type Journal Article
Year 2005 Publication Contemporary Nurse Abbreviated Journal
Volume 20 Issue 1 Pages 87-101
Keywords Pregnancy; Transcultural nursing; Quality of health care; Attitude to health
Abstract This paper reports on a study of the maternity care experiences of women from Goa (India) in Auckland. Multiple research strategies were incorporated into the process to prevent reproduction of deficiency discourses. Interviews were carried out with Goan women who had experiences of migration and motherhood. The findings revealed that as a consequence of motherhood and migration, migrant mothers were able to reclaim and re-invent innovative solutions. Nurses and other health professionals can have a significant role in supporting women and their families undergoing the transition to parenthood in a new country and develop their knowledge and understanding of this dual transition.

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 Indigenous health care: Advances in nursing practice Type Journal Article
Year 2006 Publication Contemporary Nurse Abbreviated Journal
Volume 22 Issue 2 Pages 142-154
Keywords Cultural safety; Transcultural nursing; Cross-cultural comparison; Nursing; Education
Abstract In this introduction to a special issue on nursing with indigenous peoples, the authors affirm the need for continued application of tools and strategies for thinking critically about issues of culture, history and race. Without these things, evidence of discriminatory policies and practices in the health system remain hidden to many health professionals. Attention to socio-political structures is as essential to promoting health and preventing illness as are nurses' activities with the individual clients. To develop critical consciousness in nursing requires educational strategies and frameworks that focus on the responsibilities and implications of practicing nursing in a postcolonial context where race and power continue to create patterns of inclusion and exclusion in health care settings. The authors suggest that many contemporary nursing programmes fail to provide such strategies and frameworks, and argue that nursing must view critical analyses of these issues as central aspects of nursing education, research, theory and practice. They go on to engage with the notion of cultural safety as a means of fostering a critical political and social consciousness in nursing to create an opportunity for social transformation.

Title Hermeneutic notions illuminate cross-cultural nursing experiences Type Journal Article
Year 2001 Publication Journal of Advanced Nursing Abbreviated Journal
Volume 35 Issue 4 Pages 624-630
Keywords Transcultural nursing; Nursing
Abstract The aim of this paper was to articulate selected hermeneutic notions for the purpose of extending current understanding of cross-cultural nursing practice, and build on the author's work in this area. The project asserted that the notions of prejudice, paradox and possibility portray a nursing view of this phenomenon. The emphasis in this paper, rather than being methodological, is on showing how specific hermeneutic notions contribute to deeper understanding of the nature of cross-cultural practice. It is argued that contact with, and the capacity to explore, the play of conflicting prejudices and possibilities enhances understanding of the complex and paradoxical nature of cross-cultural nursing.

Title Prejudice, paradox, and possibility: Nursing people from cultures other than one's own Type Journal Article
Year 2001 Publication Journal of Transcultural Nursing Abbreviated Journal
Volume 12 Issue 2 Pages 100-106
Keywords Cultural safety; Transcultural nursing; Nurse-patient relations
Abstract This article provides a brief overview of the findings of a hermeneutic study that explored the experience of nursing people from cultures other than one's own. The notions prejudice, paradox, and possibility are argued to describe this phenomenon. Nurses in New Zealand are being challenged to recognise and address racism in their practice. Yet, the implementation of cultural safety in nursing education has created tension within the profession and between nursing and the wider community. As nurses negotiate the conflicts essential for ongoing development of their practice, the play of prejudice, paradox, and possibility is evident at intrapersonal and interpersonal levels as well as in relation to professional and other discourses. Nurses are challenged to continue their efforts to understand and move beyond the prejudices that otherwise preclude the exploration of new possibilities.

Title Nursing people from cultures other than one's own: A perspective from New Zealand Type Journal Article

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 Hermeneutic notions augment cultural safety education Type Journal Article

Volume 44 Issue 9 Pages 409-414
Keywords Cultural safety; Nursing; Education; Transcultural nursing
Abstract In this article, the author integrates literature pertaining to the implementation of kawa whakaruruhau, or cultural safety, with the findings of a hermeneutic project that described the experience of nursing people from cultures other than one's own. It is argued that the Gadamerian notions of “horizon,” “prejudice,” and “play” can be used to facilitate understanding of the tensions and contradictions inherent in cross-cultural practice. Strategies are recommended that enable students to explore the prejudices, paradoxes, and possibilities experienced personally and professionally.

Title The nurse's role in improving indigenous health Type Journal Article

Volume 15 Issue 3 Pages 232-240
Keywords Transcultural nursing; Maori; Health status
Abstract The health status of indigenous peoples is a global concern with mortality and hospitalisation data indicating that the health of indigenous groups falls below that of other ethnic groups within their countries. The preliminary findings of grounded theory research project undertaken with a group of 23 New Zealand Maori women about their health priorities and 'mainstream' health service needs provide the foundation for an exploration of issues impacting on the health status of indigenous people. The role that nursing and nurses have in improving access and use of health services by indigenous people is discussed. Strategies are suggested that nurses can utilise within their practice when working with local indigenous groups.
