Thousands of Eritreans flee their homes each month, embarking on dangerous journeys. With these extreme life experiences in mind, this qualitative study aimed to better understand Eritrean resettled refugees' perceptions of United States (US) preventive health care through the lens of the Life Course Theory. Through secondary thematic analysis of narrative data, two over-arching themes emerged: 1) a thirst for information, understanding and affordable health care and 2) attitudes of gratitude and hope despite lack of information and funding. Health promotion programs should focus on enhancing community engagement while nurturing protective factors of resiliency and hope to improve information dissemination and access to affordable health-care services.
每月都有成千上万的厄立特里亚人逃离家园，踏上危险的旅程。考虑到这些极端的生活经历，这项定性研究旨在通过生命历程理论的视角，更好地理解重新安置的厄立特里亚难民对美国预防性医疗保健的看法。通过对叙事数据的二次主题分析，出现了两个总体主题：1）对信息、理解和可负担医疗保健的渴望；2）尽管缺乏信息和资金，但仍抱有感恩和希望的态度。健康促进项目应注重加强社区参与，同时培育恢复力和希望的保护因素，以改善信息传播和获得可负担医疗服务的机会。
