Pacific people in Aotearoa New Zealand and the treatment of long-term conditions: a narrative literature review about Pacific people’s understandings of health and wellbeing

The reviewed studies highlight the 'lived with' effects of long-term conditions that Pacific people and their families experience. They illustrate how the goals of long-term condition models of care, however desirable, may not seem beneficial or feasible for Pacific families if they neglect other dimensions of wellbeing, or fail to consider constraining contextual factors. Literature that challenges conventional concepts in long-term conditions models of care potentially support appropriate approaches for Pacific people and their families.
