Te Piringa Insights into ensuring effective whānau-centred, primary health care services and support
Project Background
This integrative literature review examined the evidence for whānau-centred primary health provision and its contribution to improved Māori and Pacific health outcomes. Its purpose was to identify the enablers, inhibitors and challenges involved in delivering effective primary health care services to Māori and Pacific communities across Aotearoa. A key aim was to determine the critical success factors required for whānau-centred approaches, ensuring these factors were responsive to the diverse characteristics, needs and aspirations of communities, as well as the public accountability obligations of agencies.
A total of 345 articles, reports and other publications were screened, with 110 included in the review. Literature was selected if it provided theoretical or empirical evidence on whānau-centred primary health care provision for Māori and Pacific communities.
