Whakauae Research Services, the University of Auckland and Waikato University have partnered to undertake research looking at hospital transfers for Maori. The project is funded through Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga and is titled: Hospital Transfers, whānau involvement in the healing equation. The project has four distinct phases.
To gain a comprehensive understanding of patterns of hospital transfers and experiences of whānau who wish to stay actively engaged in care
Includes stakeholder buy-in to understand better how the hospital system and broader policy contexts facilitate or hinder active whānau involvement
Incorporates mapping and identifying strategies or environments that promote active whānau participation in care
This part involves discussion, debate and generating awareness of the impacts of hospital transfers on both side of the healing equation by making sure research findings continue to be distributed through multiple forms
As part of this project, Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga held a two-day researcher wānanga for all funded researchers at Waipapa Marae in Auckland. The kaupapa was to build stronger collegiality amongst lead investigators, by sharing fresh project insights and work plans to ensure a cohesive and collaborative programme of research. Researchers from all over New Zealand attended and presented under four funded themes;
Project team representatives Dr Bridgette Awatere-Masters (University of Waikato), Dr Donna Cormack (the University of Auckland) and Ms Rachel Brown (Whakauae Research Services) presented an overview of the project, current activities and future planning. The wānanga provided a safe cultural environment where issues and challenges could also be raised, discussed with possible support and solutions obtained. The team enjoyed being amongst researchers and esteemed leaders from different fields where insights and findings were shared across various disciplines (business, health, science, reo).
As part of the wānanga, there was important emphasis placed on Māori health research and its future strategic direction. The wānanga facilitated the promotion of Ngā Pae's strategic direction document; Ahunga Āta Whakarite 2016-2020. Wānanga participants engaged in a lively dialogue about how Māori can develop, facilitate and drive a national Māori health research strategy. Such a strategy is important if we, as Māori are to determine our own research agenda and implement culturally appropriate protocols and processes in regard to research activities.
