Whakarāpopoto Rangahau Summary of Research

The first step to provide best practice recommendations for future pandemics, is to describe how current practices impact our whānau. Māori are a collectivist culture, and being present to care for their whānau is important for both the patient and their whānau. This study aims to understand how health professionals can ensure the well-being of whānau whose whānau member is being cared for in an ICU.
