Abstract

This study aims to explore the impacts of COVID-19 on birthing for wāhine (women) and whānau (immediate and extended family) in Aotearoa (New Zealand) during the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021. This rangahau (research) provided whānau with an opportunity to share their whakawhānau (birthing process) experiences via interviews. The data were analysed through interpretative phenomenological analysis. Themes identified in the results included the importance of whānau tautoko (family support), the experiences of isolation and trauma, and the effect of birthing under COVID-19 restrictions. Indigeneity was a core identity that was crucial to maintain, during these sacred times. Whakawhānau is a pivotal transition with the potential to engage with medical services. The findings of this study contribute to the knowledge of whānau Māori (Māori [Indigenous peoples of New Zealand] families) experiences to enhance service provision.

奥特亚罗瓦（新西兰）Whakawhānau（直系亲属和大家庭）在 COVID-19 期间的 whakawhānau（分娩过程）生活经历：探索性分析

本研究旨在探讨 COVID-19 在 2020 年和 2021 年停产期间对奥特亚罗瓦（新西兰）的 wāhine（妇女）和 whānau（直系亲属和旁系亲属）分娩的影响。这项研究为妇女提供了一个机会，通过访谈分享她们的分娩过程（whakawhānau）经历。通过解释性现象分析法对数据进行了分析。结果发现的主题包括：whānau tautoko（家庭支持）的重要性、与世隔绝的经历和创伤，以及在 COVID-19 限制下分娩的影响。在这些神圣的时刻，土著身份是维持其核心身份的关键。Whakawhānau是一个关键的过渡时期，有可能接触到医疗服务。本研究的结果有助于了解毛利人（毛利人[新西兰原住民]家庭）的经历，从而更好地提供服务。
