Overview
This project sought to explore existing frameworks, tools and/or models to inform the development of a mātauranga Māori maternal and perinatal mental health tool.
The National Hauora Coalition (NHC) is a by-Māori, for-Māori primary healthcare provider that is committed to achieving mana whānau, whānau ora (prosperous whānau, living well). The NHC is currently pursuing a programme of research that seeks to address the following research question: How can healthcare providers understand how Māori are experiencing their services, and support whānau as they want to be supported with their health journeys?
This internship contributes to this by ‘listening’ to what whānau have said they want and value in healthcare and engagement with health providers within a literature review of existing Kaupapa Māori-aligned research. The literature review explored how whānau define and experience quality engagement in healthcare and contributes to the broader programme of research.
How do whānau define and experience quality engagement from health services? This internship included a Kaupapa Māori-informed literature review to inform development of a maternal mental health tool.
