Cultural relevance for Māori
Integral to any self-management programme, particularly group programmes, is that they are culturally appropriate. People with diabetes should have access to self-management support which is relevant to the ethnicity they identify with; for example, a programme underpinned by kaupapa Māori approaches. These approaches enrich the environment for effective learning by focusing on:
tinorangitiratanga – self-determination
taonga tuku iho – cultural aspirations
ako Māori – culturally preferred ways of learning
whānau – the extended family members and their influence and support
kaupapa – the collective philosophy of the members of the group.
