Due to the influx of Latino immigration in the United States, health care services are faced with the challenge of meeting the needs of this growing population. In this qualitative study, we explored Latina immigrants' experiences with maternal health care services. We found that despite enduring language barriers and problems, Spanish-speaking women expressed satisfaction with their care. Factors influencing women's perceptions of care included sociocultural norms (respeto, personalismo, and familismo), previous experiences with care in their countries of origin, having healthy babies, and knowledge about entitlement to interpreter services. We offer recommendations for public health practice and research.
由于拉丁裔移民大量涌入美国，医疗保健服务面临着满足这一不断增长的人口需求的挑战。在这项定性研究中，我们探讨了拉丁裔移民在孕产妇保健服务方面的经历。我们发现，尽管面临语言障碍和问题，但说西班牙语的女性对她们所接受的护理表示满意。影响女性护理认知的因素包括社会文化规范（尊重、个人主义和家庭主义）、她们在原籍国接受护理的既往经历、生育健康的婴儿以及对获得口译服务权利的了解。我们为公共卫生实践和研究提供了建议。
