- ItemThe unravelling of person-centred care: The value and necessity of analysing power relations in contraceptive services(SAGE Publications, 2025-04-30) Morison T; Macleod CI; Ndabul YGlobal research indicates ongoing challenges in delivering person-centred contraceptive care. Much of the contraceptive research investigates this issue using systems-focussed approaches to map institutional constraints (e.g. institutional or health system barriers to accessing contraception). The assumption underlying this research approach is that simply removing structural barriers can address issues and enhance contraceptive autonomy, but this is not the case. Our research shows how discursively constructed power relations undermine bodily integrity and contraceptive agency even as contraceptive providers endorse the principles of patient-centred care. Using a synthetic narrative/discourse approach to analyse provider interviews in South Africa and New Zealand, we draw on Foucauldian analytics of biopower to show how an idealised person-centred care narrative collapses under the weight of discourses of medicalised risk, protectionism, and biomedical expertise, signalling practices of power through confession, responsibilisation and surveillance. Our findings highlight an essential perspective frequently missing in systems-focussed research on contraceptive care: the crucial dimension of power and reproductive politics. Thus, we argue for the necessity of investigating this dimension, in addition to systemic challenges. Our work demonstrates the value of frameworks that illuminate power dynamics, such as the Foucauldian analytics of biopower we undertook. Expanding the range of research perspectives in contraceptive research can deepen understandings of how systems constraints and power relations together undermine relational person-centred contraceptive care.

A long time coming in getting episodes out, mō taku hē. So it was great to dust off the mic! Awesome to catch up with Georgina Stokes (Ngāi Tahu) - someone who is an incredible thinker in the spatial design space and inspiration to those she lectures at Toi Rauwhārangi College of Creative Arts at Massey University kei Te Whanganui a Tara. Georgina is an overall awesome wahine, pretty evident in the way she communicates so passionately with the work. Really interesting points of discussions was her mahi in whakapapa plotting to better how we experience spaces and the alignment in her studies and her Māoritanga 🤯 Available on all podcast platforms and the website https://lnkd.in/gPkURGxB Listen on Spotify here: https://lnkd.in/gz3xkQyj #MāoriinEngineering

- ItemRapid Antigen Tests (RATs) and COVID-19 prevalence(OSF Preprins, 2022-05-04) Perezgonzalez JThe article contains a Bayesian analysis to model expected rate of positive and negative COVID-19 cases, based on Rapid Antigen Test performance and COVID-19 prevalence in New Zealand. The results suggest that the majority of approved tests were excellent in identifying negative cases but might turn out too many false positives. Recommendations for a protocol for RAT-based testing concludes the article.
