This study aims to examine the challenges faced by migrant Arab Muslim women in accessing maternity services and to suggest ways to improve the childbirth experience for them. An interpretive ontological-phenomenological perspective guided by the philosophical tenets of Heidegger was used to examine the childbirth experiences of Arab Muslim women. The sample size was 24 in-depth semistructured audiotaped interviews with eight women in the United Kingdom. The "Vulnerable Woman" was the main theme of our findings, which was discussed in five subthemes: language exclusion, discrimination and prejudice, bureaucracy and "stiff upper lip," conflicting ideology, and the conventional as strange. Maternity care should be culturally competent and emphasize the importance of recognizing differences as well as creating trusting relationships. At the same time, midwives should be aware of the dangers of labeling women because of their cultural and religious beliefs.
本研究旨在探讨移民阿拉伯穆斯林妇女在获得产妇服务方面面临的挑战，并提出改善她们分娩体验的方法。本研究采用海德格尔哲学原理指导的解释学本体论-现象学视角，考察了阿拉伯穆斯林妇女的分娩经历。研究样本为 24 名在英国的深度半结构化访谈的妇女，其中 8 名妇女接受了访谈。我们的研究结果主要主题是“弱势妇女”，这一主题通过以下五个子主题进行了讨论：语言排斥、歧视和偏见、官僚主义和“僵硬的上唇”、思想冲突和传统观念的陌生感。产妇护理应该具有文化能力，并强调认识差异以及建立信任关系的重要性。同时，助产士应该意识到因文化和宗教信仰而给妇女贴上标签的危险。
