Even though the talanoa also included social service stakeholders, this article primarily focuses on reflections from students and junior staff at the university.\u0000FINDINGS: Reflections add to recommendations for social work education at a regional university. Culturally relevant social work for respondents meant that the curriculum needed to be inclusive of alternative forms of assessments; encouraging the use of Pacific language; advocating for more Pacific scholars in social work education; promoting collaborations with other international organisations and institutions; and, most importantly, making the institution a regional hub for Pacific social work education that is research informed.\u0000IMPLICATIONS: These reflections are outlined and explored further in this article and recommendations are offered for the continual development and sustainability of social work education in Oceania.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":44524,"journal":{"name":"Aotearoa New Zealand Social Work","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84971311","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}

Pasifika families experiencing disability underutilise disability services. This research explores how social workers work successfully with Pasifika families of children with disabilities in Aotearoa New Zealand, a traditionally western-practice-dominated country. It specifically explores how practice is adapted and which frameworks are deemed successful in this field.\u0000METHOD: This qualitative research uses semi-structured interviews with four social workers working with Pasifika families of children with disability. Interviews were thematically analysed.\u0000FINDINGS: Using an anti-oppressive framework for analysis, this study found it is important for social workers to understand the differences when working with Pasifika families of children with disabilities, this includes: knowledge of Pasifika values, Pasifika social work practice frameworks, relationships, cultural humility and meeting families where they are at. This understanding is necessary for successful social work with Pasifika families of children with disability.\u0000IMPLICATIONS: Anti-oppressive practice addressing structural, cultural and personal oppression is crucial for successful social work with Pasifika families of children with disability. Using an anti-oppressive practice approach, which incorporates the intentional inclusion of decolonisation, indigenisation and anti-racist practice provides a conceptual framework for working successfully with Pasifika families of children with disability.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":44524,"journal":{"name":"Aotearoa New Zealand Social Work","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89531328","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}

While effort has been made to better understand the needs of this population, the results remain largely unchanged. Additionally, practice methods and research to better understand the needs of this group tend to accommodate the more dominant Pacific populations, while less research has gone into understanding the smaller Pacific ethnic populations such as I-Kiribati. This research sought to explore I-Kiribati meanings of wellbeing and how these understandings contribute to creating more culturally appropriate social services.\u0000METHODS: The research employed semi-structured interviews to explore the perspectives and experiences of five I-Kiribati professionals working in health and social services. Recruitment was through purposive sampling.\u0000FINDINGS: The findings outline important aspects that contribute to the wellbeing of both Kiribati and other Pacific groups, factors preventing Pacific minority groups from accessing social services, such as language barriers, acculturation issues, and lack of cultural knowledge and understanding within health, and social services. The findings also suggested the importance of utilising cultural knowledge to inform social work practice, as well as the need for service providers to expand their understanding of the Kiribati culture through more collaboration with Kiribati communities throughout Aotearoa New Zealand.\u0000CONCLUSION: The findings aid further understanding of wellbeing, knowledge on the Kiribati culture and needs of this group, while also informing practice methods for enhanced engagement to best meet the needs of ethnic minority groups.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":44524,"journal":{"name":"Aotearoa New Zealand Social Work","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88276467","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}

As a result, Pacific mortality rates were high and Pacific people were unnecessarily suffering with poorer health outcomes. By 1987, a group of Pacific community leaders in Auckland came together and formed The Fono (originally known as Pasifika Health Care), to provide a Pacific community-led health practice and improve access to high quality, culturally appropriate primary care services. By 2020, The Fono had nine sites with four medical clinics, three dental clinics, a vast range of public health and social services, and a trades training academy.\u0000Aotearoa New Zealand’s initial Covid-19 Alert Level 4 period was a time of intensive service delivery and significant innovation at The Fono. As a result, incubation projects were catapulted into life, transforming key aspects of the organisation. For The Fono, this transformation occurred on the following timeline:\u0000 pre-Covid (time before Alert Level 4, before 26/03/2020);\u0000 Covid (Alert Level 4 period, 26/03/2020–3/05/2020);\u0000 post-Covid (the time after Alert level 4, 13/05/2020 onwards).\u0000 \u0000This viewpoint outlines the projects that contributed to organisational change at The Fono with the first Covid wave in 2020.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":44524,"journal":{"name":"Aotearoa New Zealand Social Work","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79022561","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}

Guided by the question “What factors increase the likelihood of non-smoking adolescents’ use of electronic cigarettes?”, this scoping review identifies the current landscape of scholarly explorations on this topic. It aims to provide heuristic implications on shaping the future research agenda that could enlighten social work interventions towards adolescents’ use of electronic cigarettes.\u0000METHODS: Nine electronic databases were searched and primary research articles exploring the reasons why adolescents (13–18 years of age) initiated their use of electronic cigarettes were screened. A PRISMA-ScR was used to record the results from the search strategy.\u0000FINDINGS: Of the five studies retrieved from the database search, three were qualitative studies, and two were quantitative, with all five articles being from the United States. Thematic analysis was used and identified four key themes for the factors influencing the use of electronic cigarettes in this population of interest: personal relationships, social context, ease of access, and production features.\u0000CONCLUSION: There is a significant gap in the literature around the reasons why adolescent non-smokers use electronic cigarettes. Conducting further research into this will expand the knowledge of social work practitioners and inform future, evidence-informed interventions and electronic cigarette cessation programmes to reduce the harm electronic cigarettes may have.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":44524,"journal":{"name":"Aotearoa New Zealand Social Work","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84028143","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}
