Brief summary
Working in partnership with Te Whatu Ora Capital & Coast, kaupapa Maori healthcare providers and community service Mana Wahine, we aim to better meet the needs of wahine Maori for the management (and treatment) of positive cervical screening results through colposcopy clincs co-located at three kaupapa Maori primary healthcare services in the Wellington region. With input from wahine, we will develop and evaluate colposocpy resources It is hypothesized that community co-located colposcopy clinics will be preferred by wahine over traditional hospital based clinics.
Interventions
The proposed primary research activity entails assessing the feasibility of providing colposcopy services at three locations: , Hora Te Pai, Ora Toa Takapuwahia & Ora Toa Canon’s Creek. It will build on the success of a clinic set up at Maraeroa Marae Health Clinic.
The colposcopy clinics will be delivered by Wellington Hospital gynaecologists at community health centres. Women will be eligible for the intervention if they have been referred hospital colposcopy services by the primary care provi
The proposed primary research activity entails assessing the feasibility of providing colposcopy services at three locations: , Hora Te Pai, Ora Toa Takapuwahia & Ora Toa Canon’s Creek. It will build on the success of a clinic set up at Maraeroa Marae Health Clinic. The colposcopy clinics will be delivered by Wellington Hospital gynaecologists at community health centres. Women will be eligible for the intervention if they have been referred hospital colposcopy services by the primary care provider following abnormal cervical screening. The intervention will be offered for 3 years. Attendance rates wll be monitored. Feasibility will be further assessed by noting any cases who are unable to have their colposcopy completed in the community. Wahine experiences will be assessed via a post-appointment korero interview at a time an location suitable for wahine, following the appointment. This will be audio-recorded and follow semi-structured questions. It is anticipated that this will take approximately 30 minutes. There will be purposeful sampling of participants aiming for equal numbers from each of the community clinics. There will be approximately 80 participants selected for interviews, aiming for equal numbers from each of the community clinics.
