Mate wareware: Understanding 'dementia' from a M āori perspective.

CONCLUSION: Whānau are crucial for the care of a kaumātua with mate wareware, along with promoting healthy wairua for all. Whanau urgently need information to assist with their knowledge building and empowerment to meet the needs of a member affected by mate wareware. This requires collaborative healthcare practice and practitioners accessing the necessary mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge) to provide culturally appropriate and comprehensive care for whānau.
