Area Of Science
- Indigenous Health
- Healthcare Development
- Māori Health Services
Background
- Older Māori report negative experiences during hospital stays.
- Historical precedent exists for Māori-led healthcare facilities.
- Existing research highlights adverse outcomes for Māori in public hospitals.
Purpose Of The Study
- To investigate the rationale for developing Māori hospitals.
- To explore the feasibility of Māori-developed hospitals within the current health system.
- To build upon research into kaumātua hauora (elderly Māori health).
Main Methods
- Qualitative research involving ten noho wānanga (residential workshops).
- Kānohi-ki-kānohi (face-to-face) interviews with kaumātua (elders).
- Literature review of Indigenous hospital development.
Main Results
- Kaumātua expressed that hospital stays were detrimental to their wellbeing.
- A historical desire for a Māori hospital was identified.

Hospitals provide inpatient and outpatient services. Inpatient services provide care to patients that stay in the hospital for an extended period, ranging from days to months. Examples of inpatient services include intensive care units, hospital wards, or surgeries. Outpatient services provide care to patients who come to a hospital for a diagnostic or treatment but do not stay overnight —for example, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, or health education.

Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care...
Hospitals offer medical and surgical care to the sick and injured, along with accommodation while they recover. At the same time, they also provide outpatient, emergency, psychiatric, and rehabilitation services to meet various community needs. In addition to providing medical care, hospitals also act as hubs for medical research and training. Hospitals use clinical procedures and evidence-based practice standards to deliver patient care. To deliver safe and efficient care, a nurse must stay up...

He introduced two key concepts: manifest content and latent content. The manifest content is the actual content and imagery of the dream — what we remember when we wake up. The latent content, however, represents the...
