‘Atawhai’: a primary care provider-led response to family violence in Aotearoa New Zealand
ConclusionsAtawhai is a unique health care response to family violence evidenced on empirical knowledge of primary care professionals. Our theoretical lens calls attention to parts of the system often obscured by current health care responses to family violence. Atawhai presents an opportunity to develop a grassroots-informed, long-term response to family violence that evolves in response to needs. (Source: Archives of Public Health)

Construction of the chronic temporomandibular disorder patients: the association between neural and psychological pathways
In this study, we leverage the cyclic causation framework within the biopsychosocial model to illuminate the intricate interplay between biological and psychosocial factors in the context of cTMD. The conceptualisation of cTMD involves the dynamic evolution of genetic predispositions, influenced by life events and other biological susceptibilities. These factors collectively contribute to the emergence of nociplastic changes, ultimately manifesting as the distinctive features observed in individuals afflicted with cTMD.PMID:38754116 | DOI:10.26635/6965.6513 (Source: New Zealand Medical Journal)
