Abstract
The aim of this thesis was to explore the reasons why Māori men (Tāne) are secluded in acute mental health services in New Zealand more frequently than men of other ethnicities. A literature review identified that over the last two decades Tāne were secluded up to five times as often as men of other ethnicities. There was found to be a dearth of qualitative literature nationally and internationally related to seclusion of indigenous men.
The qualitative research design for this thesis was based on the recollection of the researcher’s professional experiences of being a mental health nurse working in acute mental health services. It utilised the method known as memory-work to generate narratives from the perspective of a mental health nurse caring for Tāne, These narratives were analysed as a way to explore the key issues surrounding the seclusion of Tāne, such as environmental issues and an inadequate acknowledgement of the cultural needs of these men. Discussion of these key issues have led to recommendations for nursing practice in acute mental health services in New Zealand.
