{"title":"“Starting off Well” — The quest of finding suitable accommodation in Wellington and the impacts on student wellbeing","authors":"Michael Walker, Mark Huthwaite","doi":"10.57129/001c.73285","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.57129/001c.73285","url":null,"abstract":"PURPOSE This study investigated the barriers, and challenges faced by medical students at the University of Otago, Wellington in their search for suitable accommodation in Wellington (Pōneke). The research also aimed to identify solutions to these challenges and barriers. METHOD This is a qualitative study of ten semi-structured interviews with medical students over December 2021. Interviews were then transcribed and thematically analysed by the researchers. RESULTS The five key themes identified; the high cost of living and rent, difficulty finding accommodation, the overall financial burden of living in Wellington, poor quality of housing, and the students perceptions of differences across the three medical schools. CONCLUSION Students are struggling to find accommodation and to meet the cost of living in Wellington. They face the additional costs associated with placement across various clinical sites, and feel unsupported by the University of Otago. Students would like more support from the University, including financial assistance for the higher cost of living in Wellington, travel subsidies, having a designated staff member to assist with finding accommodation and the provision of University accommodation in Wellington.","PeriodicalId":279048,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Medical Student Journal","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128539855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It causes extreme itching which can be unbearable, and can lead to debilitating sequelae, including rheumatic heart disease (RHD). In this essay, I will firstly consider scabies from a clinical perspective, before exploring the challenges this disease poses in the Pacific, Australia, and Aotearoa New Zealand. Finally, I will outline my imaginative, ambitious vision into which I would invest philanthropic funds. I believe my proposal could feasibly make substantial inroads into disease control of the ‘seven-year itch’ in seven months by harnessing synergies with COVID-19 management.","PeriodicalId":279048,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Medical Student Journal","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130239298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
