title: Farmer perspective

authors: Sutton, Chris

abstract: We are beef farmers now. We went to the Rerewhakaaitu area as dairy farmers and four years ago, on 23 September 2013, we sold the dairy cows and moved into a beef unit. We have been a beef unit ever since on 100 hectares. When we first got married, Rosemary was a nurse from Te Whaiti and we both decided to own a lifestyle block either at Kaharoa or Rerewhakaaitu and ended up buying at Rerewhakaaitu in a roundabout fashion.

title: An Insight into Youth Mental Health: A mixed methods research study of experiences and perceptions of youth mental health.

authors: Lingley-Tremewan , Kathryn Victoria May

abstract: Background: The mental health of youth within New Zealand is an imperative matter that needs to be immediately addressed.  The rates of youth struggling with their mental health is a concern for all health professional in New Zealand.   
Objectives: The objectives of this research are to firstly, look at what are common mental health issues that youth are currently living with. The second objective is to find out what the perceptions are that nurses have on youth mental health within New Zealand.  
Participants: The first part of this research examined quantitative data using the YouthCHAT instrument from 778 students from secondary schools within the Waikato and Coromandel regions. The second part of this research, comprised individual interviews  with eight nurses based in the Waikato. 
Methods: The study used a mixed methods design. The quantitative data was extracted from an existing YouthCHAT . This data was analysed through parsimonious modelling and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The data was examined utilising the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The qualitative data was generated by interviewing eight nurses about their perception of youth mental health. The findings from the interviews were analysed utilising a general inductive approach.  
Results: The research undertaken provides valuable insights into youth mental health in New Zealand by combining qualitative interviews with nurses and quantitative data from YouthCHAT. It explores the emotional response of nurses, barriers to accessing mental health services, the impact of social media, and associations between depression, anxiety, and other factors in youth mental health.  Conclusion The study shows the importance of addressing youth mental health issues and also recognising the crucial roles nurses play in addressing youth mental health within New Zealand.

title: Māori tourism geographies: Values, morals and diverse economies

authors: Ringham, Sandra Lee

subjects: Māori tourism

abstract: Māori working in tourism negotiate moral terrains of their own world and those of visiting tourists, all of which are layered with colonial and capitalist values of Aotearoa New Zealand and beyond. We draw on research with Māori tourism providers in the North Island’s central, coastal and northern regions to address the question: How and in what ways do Māori working in tourism (re)construct their places and identities through practising Māori values in Aotearoa New Zealand’s tourism spaces? It is argued, using empirical material from interviews and par­ticipant sensing—a more-than-seeing form of participant observation—that diverse Māori values and practices shape tourism terrains and vice versa. The participants, who work with or for Māori tourism providers, practise and integrate Māori values into their lived geographies, and in doing so challenge dominant understandings of tourism, many of which are based on colonial and capitalist values. In this way, the participants reclaim and perform self-determination within Aotearoa New Zealand’s tourism spaces. This article focuses on two key themes. First, we look back at how past experiences of colonisation shape contemporary tourism. Second, we discuss the diverse and powerful ways Māori values reshape tourism geographies with a view to the potentialities of Māori tourism’s diverse economies.
