The pregnant migrant farm worker faces many barriers to accessing healthcare in the United States due to poverty, language/literacy issues, transportation difficulties, and geographic isolation. The advanced practice nurse has the opportunity to contribute solutions to the problems of lack of adequate prenatal care among the migrant farm worker community, if he/she is aware of the need and can institute novel models of care. This article describes the problem of migrant farm worker health and suggests ways that advanced practice nurses can provide cost effective, competent professional care to reduce or eliminate the obstacles to care for this population.
由于贫困、语言/读写问题、交通困难和地理隔离等因素,怀孕的流动农场工人在美国获得医疗保健面临诸多障碍。如果高级执业护士意识到这一需求并能建立新的护理模式,就有机会为流动农场工人社区缺乏充分产前护理的问题提供解决方案。本文描述了流动农场工人的健康问题,并提出了高级执业护士可以提供具有成本效益、胜任的专业护理的方法,以减少或消除该人群获得护理的障碍。
