Aotearoa New Zealand has been commended for the overarching effectiveness of its Covid-19 response. Yet, the lockdowns challenged the health of whānau Māori (Māori families) alongside their social, cultural and financial well-being. However, Māori have repeatedly demonstrated innovative means of resilience throughout the pandemic. This review aimed to document the local grassroots, community-level responses to Covid-19 lockdowns by Māori. Three sources for searching for evidence were used: academic, websites and media, and Māori community networks. A total of 18 records were reviewed. Four of these records comprised published academic literature, 13 comprised news, online and media articles, and one was a situation report. Findings were grouped into three categories: distributive networks, well-being and resource support. The findings of this review provide an exemplar for the strength of Māori leadership and agency, alongside value-driven holistic approaches to health and well-being that could positively impact the health of all.
新西兰因其应对新冠疫情的总体成效而受到赞扬。然而,封锁措施在影响毛利家庭社会、文化和经济福祉的同时,也对他们的健康构成了挑战。尽管如此,在整个疫情期间,毛利人多次展现出创新的适应能力。本综述旨在记录毛利人针对新冠疫情封锁措施做出的基层社区层面的应对举措。我们通过三个渠道搜集证据:学术资源、网站和媒体,以及毛利社区网络。共审查了18份记录。其中4份记录为已发表的学术文献,13份为新闻、在线及媒体文章,1份为情况报告。研究结果分为三类:分发网络、福祉和资源支持。本综述的研究结果为毛利人的领导力和行动力的强大之处提供了一个范例,同时也展示了以价值观为导向的健康与福祉整体方法,这些方法可能会对所有人的健康产生积极影响。
