Summary: This scoping review aimed to identify and describe the attributes of relational care from an Indigenous Maori healthcare consumer perspective. The study found that establishing emotional connections and therapeutic relationships with healthcare professionals are essential for improving consumer experience and engagement with mainstream healthcare services, and "Whanaungatanga" (meaningful relationships) plays a crucial role in effective communication with healthcare professionals. Future research should explore the practice of relational care in acute care settings, the influence of the health system on the capacity for relational care, and the coexistence of Indigenous and Western paradigms in healthcare.
