An iwi, or Māori tribe, is one of the largest kinship groupings and is generally made up of several hapū that are all descended from a common ancestor. Hapū are clusters of whānau where the whānau is usually an extended family grouping consisting of children, parents, often grandparents, and other closely related kin.

What does IWI stand for?

The largest political grouping in pre-European Māori society was the iwi (tribe). This usually consisted of several related hapū (clans or descent groups). Iwi-tūturu (the homeland tribe) or tino-iwi (the central tribe) were groups living in a long-held location. They would take their name from a founding ancestor.

Ngāi Tahu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. In Māori and New Zealand English, a hapū (“subtribe”, or “clan”) functions as “the basic political unit within Māori society”.

In the culture of the Māori of New Zealand, a tohunga (tōhuka in Southern Māori dialect) is an expert practitioner of any skill or art, either religious or otherwise. Tohunga include expert priests, healers, navigators, carvers, builders, teachers and advisors.

HAPU

In Māoridom and New Zealand, a hapū (“subtribe”, or “clan”) functions as “the basic political unit within Māori society”.

The word whānau means both to give birth and family, and hapū means both pregnant and clan, illustrating the significance of pregnancy and childbirth to Māori.

A Hapori is directly translated ‘Community’, so in essence each Hapori is a community and, as learning is what we are about they are essentially learning communities. In 2019 we are transitioning from each habitat being a single community of humans to each Hapori thinking and acting as one community.

Hospital-acquired pressure ulcers (HAPU) result in significant patient harm, including pain, expensive treatments, increased length of institutional stay and, in some patients, premature mortality.

Our analysis suggests that a HAPI could cost $10 708 per patient on average, exceeding a total of approximately $26.8 billion in the United States annually based on 2.5 million reported cases.

Cost: Pressure ulcers cost $9.1-$11.6 billion per year in the US. Cost of individual patient care ranges from $20,900 to 151,700 per pressure ulcer. Medicare estimated in 2007 that each pressure ulcer added $43,180 in costs to a hospital stay.

Skin care in hospital

1. Keep your skin clean and dry.
2. Avoid any products that dry out your skin.
3. Use a water-based moisturiser daily.
4. Check your skin every day or ask for help if you are concerned.
5. If you are at risk of pressure sores, a nurse will change your position often, including during the night.

Who’s most at risk of getting pressure ulcers being over 70 – older people are more likely to have mobility problems and skin that’s more easily damaged through dehydration and other factors. being confined to bed with illness or after surgery. inability to move some or all of the body (paralysis) obesity.

Bed-ridden patients, especially those with spinal cord injuries, those who are hemodynamically unstable, the elderly and the very young are primarily at risk of developing pressure ulcers.
