| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS DpR0xt8n. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. From an indigenous and holistic perspective, the current dominant biomedical model of health and illness has a limited view of people and their wellbeing. The present study aimed to explore Maori spiritual healers'views on healing and healing practices, and the implications of these for conceptualisations of holism, health and wellbeing. Six indigenous Maori in Aotearoa/New Zealand took part in in-depth, semi-structured interviews with a Maori researcher from March to September 2007. Transcribed interviews were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis techniques. We found that Maori cultural perspectives influenced views of the mind, body, spirit and healers also identified two additional aspects as significant and fundamental to a person's health, namely whanau/whakapapa [family and genealogy] and whenua [land]. We propose a model called Te Whetu [The Star], with 5 interconnected aspects ; namely, mind, body spirit, family, and land. Results are discussed in terms of the contribution of Maori knowledge to our understandings of health and wellbeing, and their implications for conceptualising holism, as well as health policy and care for Maori and other indigenous populations. |
