There are many resources available for health promotion. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the appropriateness of a health promotion resource for Māori and suggest appropriate changes if necessary. This involves asking the Māori consumer about the appropriateness from their perspective. A Māori health model is used to guide this analysis and reference is made to cultural safety.
Process and Preparation for Presentation
Identify a Māori Consumer (A person who identifies as Māori)
Meet with your peer student.
Before approaching your chosen consumer discuss their general details with your tutor who may also assist you in identifying a consumer and in making contact.
The consumer does not have to be experiencing the health issue related to the Health Promotion resource
Gather the information required.
If uncertain about your consumer check with your lecturer, approach your consumer for informed consent (see attached information sheet and consent form).
Identify an existing health promotion resource that maybe appropriate to your consumer or choose a resource with your consumer (brochure, leaflet or media clip that provides health promotion information).
Obtain from the Māori consumer whether they believe the resource is appropiate from a Māori cultural perspective.
With understanding the consumers perspective determine if the resource is culturally safe
Critique the Health Promotion Resource.
Give a brief summary of the necessity for this resource including relevant Maori health demographics.
Use the feedback from the Māori consumer , their knowledge of cultural safety and your chosen Māori health model to critique the suitability of the health promotion resource for Māori.
