Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) worldviews of health emphasize pono (righteousness) and lōkahi (balance), which extends to include relationships with other people, akua (spiritual realm), and 'āina (land). The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the role of 'āina and 'āina connection in health and resilience based on the perspectives of 12 Kānaka Maoli adults from the Waimānalo community. Three major themes were identified: 'Āina is everything, 'āina is health, and community healing through community-led initiatives. A better understanding of 'āina connection is important to improve our knowledge of Hawaiian health. A connection to 'āina may specifically address health concerns resulting from historical trauma and environmental changes.
考纳卡毛伊人的(夏威夷原住民)健康世界观强调波诺(正义)和洛卡希(平衡),这延伸到包括与他人、阿夸(精神领域)和阿伊纳(土地)的关系。本定性研究的目的是基于来自怀马纳洛社区的 12 名考纳卡毛伊成年人的观点,探讨土地和土地联系在健康和适应力中的作用。确定了三个主要主题:“阿伊纳是一切”、“阿伊纳就是健康”以及通过社区主导的倡议进行社区疗愈。更好地了解土地联系对于增进我们对夏威夷健康的认识很重要。与土地的联系可能特别解决由于历史创伤和环境变化而导致的健康问题。
