The Romani are the main European ethnic minority. The Romani people's situation of social vulnerability and their difficulties accessing the health system make their health indicators worse than those of the non-Romani population. The present study will delve into health beliefs, and experiences with health services and professionals, through the perspectives of Romani women. In this qualitative study, 16 women of different ages were interviewed in a city located in the South of Spain. Four themes emerged from the analysis of the data: the construction of the identity of Romani women, difficulties in life, health and disease beliefs and barriers to accessing the health system. We conclude that every project for the improvement of the health of the Romani community must take into account the active participation of Romani women and must consider the principles of Cultural Safety, by delving into the intercultural training of health professionals and addressing the social determinants of health which affect the Romani collective.
罗姆人是欧洲主要的少数民族。罗姆人的社会脆弱状况以及他们在获得医疗体系服务方面的困难，使得他们的健康指标比非罗姆人群体更差。本研究将通过罗姆女性的视角，深入探讨她们的健康观念以及在医疗服务和医护人员方面的经历。在这项定性研究中，对西班牙南部一个城市的16名不同年龄段的女性进行了访谈。数据分析得出了四个主题：罗姆女性身份认同的构建、生活中的困难、健康与疾病观念以及获得医疗体系服务的障碍。我们得出结论，每一个改善罗姆人群体健康的项目都必须考虑到罗姆女性的积极参与，并且必须通过深入开展医护人员的跨文化培训以及解决影响罗姆群体的健康社会决定因素，来考虑文化安全原则。
