- Abstract
Analysis of a Māori-led diabetes support programme, Mana Tū, has identified barriers, facilitators and motivators for Māori and Pacific peoples with type 2 diabetes. The study used a Kaupapa Māori approach to conduct 22 semi-structured interviews with participants of Mana Tū and their whanau living in Auckland and Northland. Key themes identified were: (1) whānau experience of type 2 diabetes, (2) cultural safety in healthcare interactions, (3) whānau ora (collective family wellbeing) and (4) Kaupapa Māori approaches to health interventions. Themes were consistent across Māori and Pacific participants. The study authors concluded that Māori-led health interventions are needed to ensure that Māori and Pacific peoples with type 2 diabetes receive appropriate, responsive and equitable healthcare.
