- Hauora
- A Māori concept of holistic health and wellbeing in which physical, mental and emotional, social and spiritual dimensions are connected and together determine a person's overall wellbeing.
- Te Whare Tapa Whā
- Mason Durie's 1984 model comparing hauora to a four-walled house: taha tinana, taha hinengaro, taha whānau and taha wairua. All four walls must be strong for wellbeing.
- Taha tinana
- The physical dimension of hauora. It includes body care, nutrition, physical activity, sleep, hygiene, illness and injury, and physical safety and fitness.
- Taha hinengaro
- The mental and emotional dimension of hauora. It covers thinking, feeling, expressing emotions, coping with stress, resilience, self-esteem and mental health.
- Taha whānau
- The social dimension of hauora. It covers relationships with family, friends and community, belonging, caring for others and feeling connected to people around you.
- Taha wairua
- The spiritual dimension of hauora. It covers sense of purpose, values and beliefs, identity, connection to ancestors and whenua, and for some people religious faith.
- Whare metaphor
- The image at the centre of Te Whare Tapa Whā: each dimension is a wall, and the whare is only strong when all four walls stand. Weakness in one wall weakens the whole house.
- Interdependence of dimensions
- The idea that the four dimensions of hauora affect one another. A change in one, such as an injury or a relationship breakdown, produces flow-on effects in the others.
- Te Pae Mahutonga
- Mason Durie's health-promotion framework, symbolised by the Southern Cross. Its four tasks are mauriora, waiora, toiora and te oranga, supported by leadership and autonomy.
- Mauriora
- The Te Pae Mahutonga task of cultural identity and access to te ao Māori, including Māori language, customs and connection to Māori health services and knowledge.
- Waiora
- The Te Pae Mahutonga task of physical environment: clean water, air and land, safe housing and healthy settings that support the wellbeing of communities.
- Toiora
- The Te Pae Mahutonga task of healthy lifestyles: reducing risk behaviours such as smoking, harmful alcohol use and poor nutrition, and promoting physical activity and safety.
- Te oranga
- The Te Pae Mahutonga task of participation in society: involvement in employment, education, recreation, culture and community life as a foundation for wellbeing.
- Ngā manukura
- One of the two prerequisites of Te Pae Mahutonga: community leadership, where people within the community guide and take responsibility for health promotion.
- Te mana whakahaere
- One of the two prerequisites of Te Pae Mahutonga: autonomy and control, meaning communities have the authority and capacity to make decisions about their own health.
- Meihana model
- A Māori health framework (Pitama et al.) placing the client and whānau at the centre, surrounded by tinana, hinengaro, wairua, taiao, ao Māori and wider socio-political context.
- Taiao
- The environment dimension in the Meihana model, covering the physical and social surroundings a person lives in, including housing, neighbourhood, water, air and land.
- Ao Māori
- The Māori world dimension in the Meihana model, covering a person's connection to Māori culture, language, whakapapa, marae and Māori health services.
- Whakapapa
- Genealogy and lineage. In hauora it supports identity and belonging, linking a person to ancestors, whānau and whenua, and strengthening taha wairua.
- Whenua
- Land, and also placenta. Connection to whenua supports identity, belonging and spiritual wellbeing, particularly for Māori, and is part of taha wairua.
- Whānau
- Extended family and the wider group a person belongs to. Whānau is a key source of support, care and identity and is central to the social dimension of hauora.
- Health determinants
- The biological, behavioural, social, economic, cultural and environmental factors that influence health status, including income, housing, education, employment, diet and access to services.
- Social determinants
- The conditions of daily life that shape health, such as income, housing, education, employment, food security, transport and social support. They drive health inequities between groups.
- Health inequity
- A difference in health outcomes between groups that is unfair and avoidable, often caused by unequal access to resources and by social, economic and political conditions.
- Holistic health
- An approach treating health as a whole rather than as separate parts, considering body, mind, relationships, spirit and environment together when assessing or improving wellbeing.
- Wellbeing
- A person's overall state of feeling good and functioning well, shaped by physical health, mental and emotional state, relationships, sense of purpose and living conditions.
- Resilience
- The capacity to cope with and recover from stress, setbacks or adversity. It sits mainly within taha hinengaro but is strengthened by whānau support and spiritual grounding.
- Belonging
- Feeling accepted and connected to a group such as whānau, friends, school, culture or community. It is a key contributor to taha whānau and taha wairua.
- Identity
- A person's sense of who they are, formed by culture, whakapapa, family, values and experiences. Strong identity supports taha wairua and overall hauora.
- Marae
- A Māori communal meeting place with the wharenui and grounds. It supports cultural connection, belonging and spiritual wellbeing, strengthening taha whānau and wairua.
- Health promotion
- Action that enables people to increase control over and improve their health, often through policy, supportive environments, community action and personal skills.
- Hauora analysis
- An assessment approach that names the specific dimension affected, explains how the factor affects it, and then explains the flow-on effects to the other three dimensions.
