“I’d probably just say that they probably just don’t care”: a qualitative study of the experiences of wāhine Māori of mental health screening during the perinatal period
There was an overall sense of inadequate screening support for mental health concerns among Māori mothers in Aotearoa New Zealand. These results indicate the need for more culturally appropriate screening tools and a genuinely holistic approach to perinatal services encompassing a more whānau-centred approach to maternal care.
