- Title
Compounding inequity: a qualitative study of gout management in an urban marae clinic in Auckland.
- Authors
L., Te Karu
- Abstract
Ten clinicians and staff at an urban marae practice were interviewed to determine the barriers and challenges to delivering effective care to a Māori and Pacific community with a high burden of gout. Results showed that a high prevalence and heavy impact of gout on wellbeing in the community was intermingled with socioeconomic disadvantage, precariousness of employment and entrenched, inaccurate patient views on gout. Staff focus on the clear community need was inhibited by structural and funding demands. Community empowerment with appropriate clinical tools and adequate resourcing is needed to provide effective care for Māori and Pacific patients with gout.
