Māori experiences and perspectives of hospital treatment in the context of acute care.

Aim: Through exploring Māori experiences when presenting acutely to hospital, we aimed to identify specific aspects of culturally safe care that we could incorporate into healthcare professionals' training and hospital processes.

Methods: Using Kaupapa Māori approaches, we undertook semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis to collect and analyse data from diverse groups of Māori participants.

Results: We interviewed 17 participants, with 16 follow-up interviews.
